When They Say a Sire "Stamps" His Progeny

Storm Cat

I have been distracted with terrible things like trying to make money this month and have been pretty neglectful of the blog. So in a fit of needing a bit of internet distraction from the commercial film production that I am working on, I found several photographs that epitomized to me the idea that a pre-potent sire "stamps" his foals. I was doing a little research on Storm Cat, the remarkable thoroughbred sire that produced some of the most expensive horses in history, and started to see a pattern. Without getting too wordy, let me share a few photographs.

At Springstone Equestrian we have several second generation sons of Storm Cat, both who made over $60,000 on the race track- Crown (registered name Crown's Big Day) and Sox (Our Lucky Sox).

Here are a few articles about Storm Cat as a sire-
