When I started becoming interested in racing two very good sires were Better Boy and Showdown. Consequently there were lots of ' Betters' and''Shows 'racing. Better Boy went on to be a terrific sire of sires - Century was probably his best son in the breeding barn, Showdown disappeared after a dominant first season. Not sure of what happened to him. Smokey Eyes dominated in Queensland back then so there were a lot of horses with 'Smoke 'or 'Smoky 'in their names. Hope they 're looking down on the scene today - no doubt they'll be shaking their heads in dismay at the shuttle stallion phenomenon.
