Pedigree Analysis

Court Vision is by Gulch, whose most memorable racetrack performance may have been his closing victory in the 1988 Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) at Churchill Downs that ensured him the title of champion sprinter that year. Gulch also proved himself capable of big performances at longer distances, figuring prominently in the Triple Crown as a three-year-old with a third in the Belmont S. (G1). At stud, Gulch passes on his stamina, and he has sired over 65 black-type winners, including 1995 Kentucky Derby (G1) hero Thunder Gulch, who, like Court Vision, won the Remsen S. (G2).
