Sorry MSD, but I have to correct you on one thing. Sweet Catomine (2002) was 17 years younger than Winning Colors (1985). Sweet Catomine's career basically ended after her failed attempt at the Santa Anita Derby in 2005 and when a related scandal erupted involving her trainer Julio Canani. The Wygods fired Canani, but I don't think Sweet Catomine ever ran again.MySaladDays wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 8:09 pmFlanders wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 8:40 pm Longtime owner/breeder Marty Wygod passed away.

That's so sad he won't get a chance to see how Resilience does.. He was my pick in a few contests for the Wood.
I really loved Life Is Sweet and they always picked good trainers like Mott and Shirreffs for their horses. Unfortunately Sweet Catomine ran during Winning Colors time and Life is Sweet during Zenyatta's time and that made their job a lot harder.
Hope Resilience makes him proud.
I was saddened by the Marty Wygod news as well. I always had so much respect for him and Pam, and felt kind of bad when they felt the need to basically move their operation out of California. My all-time favorite horse of theirs was Tranquility Lake. I loved that mare!
Oh, and I'm rooting for Resilience too!
