1994 Belmont Stakes - Tabasco Cat

[@foots-qt4pk]

Tabasco Cat had a double dose of Princequillo in his lineage, a famous long-distance runner. And of course, Secretariat, Terlinqua one of the fastest fillys ever, Northern Dancer, Crimson Saint another fast filly, Bold Ruler a sprinting champion, and Storm Cat. I would have sold everything and put my money on Tabasco!

Tabasco Cat was the first horse I ever remembered winning. I was only six, but I remember these races well.

Loved late 80s thru 90s racing

[@Budesolar_1]

Nice racehorse. Whenever I hear the name, I remember Jeff Lukas. Tragic. Horse racing is a dangerous sport.😳

[@greyespino1914]

Tabasco Cat was sired by Storm Cat who was grandsired by Secretariat via his daughter Terlingua, Storm Cat's dam. So, that makes Tabasco Cat Secretariat's great grandson.

@bruce robbinsHe had a double dose of Princquillo! How can you forget BOLD RULER, Terlinqua, Storm Cat, Northern Dancer, and WAY back a bit of Man O War! SO many great horses in his bloodline, Royalty of Thoroughbreds!

[@foots-qt4pk]

@bruce robbins Ive been reading up on Discovery. To me, but Im NO expert, his body conformation looks a lot like Secretariat. He has the same massive neck and muscles on top of muscles like his skin is too tight, lol. BEAUTIFUL horse and very talented once he matured.

[@foots-qt4pk]

@bruce robbins Poor Sham, he had the Princquillo line and he had the big heart, but something about the genetic cocktail Secretariat had made ALL the difference. I looked at Ladys Secret and she has double doses, (I know that isnt the correct term} of Nearco and Nasrullah. Am I safe to say that Nearco/Nasrullah is what makes a good runner great?

[@foots-qt4pk]

@bruce robbins Sham was a GREAT horse, but I honestly think he wasn't LOVED like Secretatariat obviously was. Watching him get whipped on the stretch in the Preakness was IMO animal cruelty. In the Belmont, he was pushed too far. He never raced again. Such different outcomes for such talented athletes. Ive been looking for info on a horse named Prince Shira. His sire was Sham, and his Dame Secretive Girl, sired by Secretariat. You would think he was a great one by looking at his genes, but I cant find a thing.Do you have any info?

I love horse racing but, I wish they would stop using the whip!

[@Budesolar_1]

Obviously, never rode or been around horses. 😮
