With the Metro Pace coming up I was looking through some past winners of its 40 year history. Outside a vey few select horses, winning the Metro seems to be a precursor to having a bad stud career. There are very few exceptions to this. The odds of winning the Metro and having a successful stud career are miniscule. I'd have many reservations of breeding to a Metro winner based on past History. Good luck to all participants and I hope a gelding wins.

And, the only Ky Derby winner to break its maiden on at Saratoga dirt is Winning Colors in 1988 (Big Brown on turf).
What;s this mean, Lance?

I think it's a spurious correlation. I'd have to think about it, but off the top of my head-----in the last 25 years-----the obvious ones are Captaintreacherou s, SBSW, and Mach Three. I think all three won the Metro, but I didn't sleep well last night, LOL. Too much traveling this time of year.
