Pioneerof the Nile ran well on the mud in the Derby. Not unlike many synthetic horses. Fast-forward to the Preakness, and well...

I believe he meant horses with LAW in their pedigree seem to do better in the mud than many other stallions. He's still a big influence on the breed via his daughters.

Read the original thread for "laughs" and comments from some allegedly knowledgeable "pedigree pundits!

Blew away the field in FOY. Ha! Terrible stallion GC...never get a winner on dirt :lol:

Re read the entire thread. I've not been following too closely but didn't GC have a pretty big weekend with 3yolds? I know a GC won the El Camino Real Derby and I think the Fountain of Youth Winner was a GC.

I believe the 3rd placer in the Risen Star was a GC as well.
