Pedigree

  • By the highly successful stallion Distorted Humor, a sprinter/miler who has developed into a classic sire
  • Distorted Humor's biggest victories came in the seven-furlong Churchill Downs H. (G2), where he set a new track record; the Commonwealth S. (G2) at that same distance; the 7 1/2-furlong Ack Ack H. (G3); and the Salvator Mile H. (G3)
  • Sired Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness (G1) hero Funny Cide, the champion three-year-old male of 2003 and an earner of $3.5 million, in his very first crop
  • Also responsible for such notable 1 1/4-mile performers as Flower Alley, winner of the Travers S. (G1); Hystericalady, whose highlights include scores in the seven-furlong Humana Distaff (G1) and the 1 1/4-mile Delaware H. (G2); turf marathoner Fourty Niners Son; Hawthorne Gold Cup H. (G2) victor It's No Joke; and Australasian Oaks (Aus-G1) queen Rinky Dink
  • Other progeny of Distorted Humor have excelled at up to 1 1/8 miles, most notably the brilliant Commentator, a two-time winner of the Whitney H. (G1); last year's Super Derby (G2) victor Regal Ransom; multiple Grade 2 turf performer Justenuffhumor; and Haskell Invitational (G1) romper Any Given Saturday

  • Silver Deputy has sired Hall of Famer Silverbulletday, heroine of the 1999 Kentucky Oaks; several Canadian champions, including Queen's Plate winner Archers Bay; and Grade 1 scorers Spring at Last and Pool Land
  • Daughters of Silver Deputy have produced the likes of Grade 1 stars Roman Ruler and El Corredor, Japanese classic winner Oken Bruce Lee, and current Kentucky Oaks hopeful Quiet Temper
  • Age of Humor's dam, Age of Silver, is a half-sister to two stakes victresses -- Timely Broad, who landed the Sabin H. (G3) at one mile and 70 yards and finished third in the 1 1/4-mile Delaware H. (G3); and From Time to Time, who captured a minor stakes going one mile on turf
  • This is the family of the high-class Wise Times, whose Grade 1 victories include the 1 1/4-mile Travers and Super Derby
