My curiosity peaked when I noticed a couple of Wheaton mares show up on the Buying/Selling Board. I did a search of standing TB stallions came up empty. I thought that was odd, because I've seen a list of 2007 foals.

A half brother to STORM CAT, he only won 6K during his career but he is by ALYDAR. He must have stood at Overbrook for awhile. Where is he now? Any other information would be of interest.

From what I heard, he was a nutcase

Wheaton was not a nut case.

I always wanted a daughter of his from a good family. He was a consistently good sire of race horses and he provides amazing inbreeding opportunities to all the Storm Cat blood out there.

Check out a filly named Wheaton's Music. Her dam did not do much but her pedigree is solid and she's free to a good home.
