  • Bears a striking physical resemblance to his sire.

"A gorgeous horse. He's got everything you could ask for or look for in a sire. He's got the looks, the pedigree, the race record and sire power. You can get the pedigree in Ocala, but the race record is the difference."

"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
