Isn't Cee's Tizzy a CA bred and local stallion? Look a what he sired. Tiznow was a wonderful race horse and terrific sire.

I don't know enough about Harris Farms or the individuals who own it to speculate on what they might do if they got a good offer to move Lucky Pulpit to Kentucky but I think he has shown enough already that he probably needs to go there to get the most potential out of him.

I don't think john Harris would let him go, he has been one of the most successful breeders in California, don't forget that soviet problem, tiznow, and unzip me (to name just a few, he also took in thornsong) have come out of that farm. He and his family have been in it for a while now and I just don't see him giving him up but money does talk and he'll always have his cows. (Anyone who's driven from LA to sf knows what I am talking about, LOL)

That was Reddatore.
A Reddatore-sired Derby winner would certainly be something.

He gets no respect. And he gave his all every race.

Redattore is also one handsome hunk of horse.

Oops, apparently it's Redattore!
I guess that only proves your point, but I meant no disrespect to him.

His figures are pretty good even before California Chrome--according to the Stallion register in November of 2013, he was improving his mares substantially (I think about 1.47 to 1.17, and many of his foals have plenty of time to earn more) and in his second crop had not only Rousing Sermon, but the hard-knocking Luckarack, who's banked over $500,000. It doesn't look as though Tiznow convinced anybody in the East that Cee's Tizzy was worth a go, but I'd love to know what phone calls Harris Farms has been getting about this Pulpit son.
