Pedigree Analysis

Z Humor's pedigree features notable classic influences in the first two generations, grafted onto a blue-collar female line, and the resulting combination looks solid enough to endure the 1 1/4-mile trip. The bay is by the highly successful stallion Distorted Humor, who burst to prominence by siring champion Funny Cide, the 2003 Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness S. (G1) winner, in his very first crop.
