And The Leopard=s victory in the GIII Generous S. means that daughters of Mr. Pros- pector have now produced 10 graded winners from 89 foals by Storm Cat.

(Pedigree Insights cont. from p5) The nick has maintained momentum with further graded successes from Fast Decision (2002 Withers S.), the speedy Listen Here (GII Amsterdam S. in 2002) and now Court Vision, who has won his last three starts. Another stakes winner from this cross is Court Vision=s brother Garcia Marquez, who won important races over 13 and 12 miles in Hong Kong. Gulch isn=t the only son of Mr. Prospector with plenty of foals out of Storm Bird mares, others being Seeking the Gold (sire of the champion juvenile filly Flanders) and Machiavellian (sire of the Group 1 winner Medicean). There are also graded winners by Chester House, Fusaichi Pegasus, Gone West and Jade Hunter. Court Vision=s connections must have high hopes that he will continue to follow in Thunder Gulch=s footsteps, but the colt has probably already done enough to earn a place in the WinStar stallion barn. Court Vision came on the market as a yearling in 2006, when Gulch was 22 and coming off a couple of comparatively quiet years. Although sired at a fee of $50,000, Gulch=s 2006 yearlings averaged only $64,257 and their median was only $50,000. Court Vision, though, achieved the third-best price of $180,000 and was seen in a much better light at Fasig-Tipton Florida=s select two-year-olds in training sale, where he made $350,000. Even so, Court Vision=s reception in the sales ring was in sharp contrast to the welcome that had awaited one of his older brothers, Kipling. When Kipling appeared at the 1997 Saratoga Yearling UPCOMING MAJOR NORTH AMERICAN STAKES Sale, he topped the sale at $1,400,000.
