Tammy, Funny Cide is by Distorted Humor, not Elusive Quality. I think that's what you meant to say. In 2004, Smarty Jones was by Elusive Quality.

2003 was also a year for history. Second crop sires Elusive Quality and Cape Town sired the Derby and Oaks winners in Funny Cide and Bird Town.

I would like to see a discussion on the Raise a Native line and how it has dominated the North American Classics. The top four finishers in this year's Belmont were all from the Raise a Native sire-line and this year's Kentucky Derby the top two were also from Raise a Native. I know we discuss Mr. Prospector quite a lot but he is Raise a Native's number one siring son but he also had Exclusive Native and others. Exclusive Native sired Genuine Risk the only filly to win the Kentucky Derby and then finish second in the next two legs of the crown. We seem to give more prominence to Northern Dancer and his sons though it is the European Classics that they dominate.

I'm surprised that no one (at least in the articles I've read) has pointed out that both Mine That Bird and Summer Bird are fourth generation classic winners. I'd guess that's a pretty rare occurance, too.
