FLYING CHEETAH TB
Flying Cheetah is by one of the greatest sires the TB industry has ever known. Storm Cat is the sire of over 73% winners (789) from starters, 16% stakes winners (177) from starters earning almost $127 million. His sons have proven to be great sires as well and will continue the mark of a great bloodline for many generations to come. Carrying the top pedigrees of the breed such as Neartic, Nasrullah, Princiquillo, Bull Lea, Bollero, Spy Song, etc. it is little doubt that Storm Cat's bloodline will live on forever in the TB racing industry.
A full brother to Flying Cheetah, One Cool Cat, was the highest-price yearling sold in the United States in 2002 selling for $3.1 million. He became the Champion 2 yr. old Colt in Europe and later, a sire.
Flying Cheetah carries tremendous potential as a sire of both TB and QH racehorse. His female family is a dominant producer of 2 and 3 year old runners that have great sprinting ability.
Champion jockey European jockey Michael Kinane said after the Phoenix Stakes win "One Cool Cat had more natural speed than any other Storm Cat I ever sat on". Champion Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien said of One Cool Cat "I don't think we've ever had a horse at Ballydoyle (Coolmore's racing arm) able to accelerate in the way he could. I've
never trained a 2 year old with so much natural speed - he could go from first gear to third gear in a couple of strides. He is a special horse".
