Although I don=t consider myself unduly superstitious, I will admit to feeling uneasy as the clock strikes midnight on New Year=s Eve. In my defense, I grew up in an area where it was considered essential, for some unfathomable reason, that the first person through the door after midnight should be a tall, dark-haired man carrying a lump of coal. I am therefore not immune to wondering whether each New Year is going to be better or worse than its predecessor. Wearing my Juddmonte hat, I can=t help thinking that it is virtually impossible for 2013 to be as good as the Frankel days of 2012. And anyone connected with Distorted Humor must also be wondering whether this influential stallion can make as big an impact as he did in 2012. Remember, the WinStar stallion was directly responsible for two Grade I winners, in the shape of the 3-year-olds Aesop=s Fables and Jimmy Creed. The latter is the latest winner of the prestigious Malibu S., a race whose roll of honor features such familiar names as Dixie Union, Mizzen Mast and Rock Hard Ten. Distorted Humor also sired the year=s highest-priced American yearling, thanks to his $1.65-million colt out of Mushka. The now 20-year-old stallion also made his mark through his stallion sons and broodmare daughters. Of course, his son Flower Alley came tantalizingly close to taking the Triple Crown with I=ll Have Another, while another son, Sharp Humor, came up with a pair of second-crop Grade II winners (to make his sale to South Korea look regrettable). Daughters of Distorted Humor also had a couple of excellent 3-year-olds to their credit and these two-- Book Review and Reneesgotzip (City Zip)--were recently separated by only a neck at the finish of the GI La Brea S.

Caulfield cont. The La Brea winner is one of three foals of racing age sired by Giant=s Causeway from daughters of Distorted Humor. All three are winners, which bodes well for Clever Babe=s 2011 Giant=s Causeway filly. The choice of Giant=s Causeway as a mate for Clever Babe perhaps owed something to the fact that she is a grand-daughter of Forty Niner. The Ashford stallion sired the Grade II turf winner Naissance Royale (Ire) from a Forty Niner mare. Clever Babe is a half-sister to Irish Smoke, winner of the GI Spinaway S. in 2007. The next dam, Book Review in the La Brea the winning sprinter Benoit Photo Added Time, is a sister to Added Gold, winner of the GII Black-Eyed Susan S. over a mile and an eighth. Book Review=s third dam, the Grade III seven-furlong winner Added Elegance, also produced another graded winner in Added Asset, so this is a solid enough family. The fifth dam, Vit Reina, was an outstanding performer in South America, where she won the Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini. Clever Babe is inbred 3x4 to Mr. Prospector, so her pedigree is similar to those of the Grade I winners Commentator (3x4), I=ll Have Another=s sire Flower Alley (3x3) and Fourty Niners Son (3x4). Other Distorted Humors inbred 3x4 to Mr. Prospector include the Grade II winners Sharp Humor and Regal Ransom.
