Laura,
Love your write-ups. I have noticed a big upswing in the Discreet Cat progeny wins of late. It will be interesting to see how Insolvent does. Big Brown's first maiden winner in the US looked nice winning and I also noticed very interesting facial markings. Big Brown himself had that interesting spot of white on his barrel and I'm curious if he'll pass unusual markings along.
Thanks TBTA!
BB's offspring should be mid to late season runners, so we'll start to see them appear more often. So far he has 3 starters, 2 winners. I'll pay close attention to any baby with BB's white spot! Look for his pedigree profile this weekend on Horse Racing Nation.
