re CC's pedigree -
On top it's Pulpit over Cozzene over the 2nd dam of Unbridled's Song. On bottom it's a full to Travers winner Rhythm over Danzig (with Rhythm's brilliant female family showing up again) over Sir Ivor over Vaguely Noble over Ribot over Princequillo. Before that you see Judy-Rae, the one that got the whole Courtly Dee thing going. The average winning distance on both top and bottom is short, but I think it's been established that CC is not your average Lucky Pulpit/Not for Love, so it might be best to focus on some of the other influences. A few years back folks tossed Union Rags from serious triple crown consideration because of the Dixie Union, when it was pretty clear that UR was not your average Dixie Union.
Does anybody see specific Lucky Pulpit/Not For Love characteristics in CC that might matter once he tries 10f over a more demanding track?
