It is unfortunate that a man of this caliber is the "exception and not the rule".

They said Storm Cat will live out his life there and some of the other stallions will come back after their stud carears which is good to know.At least we have lived to see this history in the making.It's a great loss tho.

There have been many negtive comments about Bill Jr. selling the Overbrook bloodstock and getting out of the horse business. When I worked at the Jockey Club, some years ago, I remember seeing the stat where Storm Cat bred 112 mare and got 96 of them in foal. He was standing for 500,000 at the time. Not counting WT's mares, if he gets 100 mares in foal that is 50 million dollars. I'm guessing, but I bet that WT spend several million a year of that money on Overbrook. Now that Storm Cat is no longer breeding, Bill Jr does not want to payout all that money to keep Overbrook going without having the income that Storm Cat produced.....
