"Of all of Distorted Humor's sons, I would have to say Cowtown Cat looks most like his sire. We feel Florida breeders will love a $1.5-million, sale-topping two-year-old who came out early and displayed speed with the ability to carry it a distance of ground."
Doug Cauthen,
president of WinStar Farm
