The Bill Oppenheim last time we looked at the cumulative earnings figures, we could say that at least eight of these young sires THAT 25-YEAR GAP were looking quite good. That’s still the case, but You don’t need me to tell you we saw two out- Funny Cide’s Preakness win pretty much means his standing performances over the weekend: first Hawk sire, Distorted Humor, has gone beyond recall as this Wing went some way to redeeming his reputation in group’s leader. It’s great news for WinStar Farm, which a hot renewal of the G1 Lockinge, then Funny Cide stands him, and it’s pretty safe to say his 2004 stud enhanced his reputation with an equally impressive 9 fee will reflect these successes. That’s two Grade I 3/4-length score in the Preakness, leading many winners, including (so far) a dual Classic winner, in his observers to declare that this one really has got a first crop, after all.
