Pedigree fun facts: Known Agenda Apr 6, 2021 Kellie Reilly/Brisnet.com
With his convincing victory in the Florida Derby (G1),
Known Agenda becomes the latest advertisement for his sire, Hall of Famer
Curlin, on the Kentucky Derby (G1) trail.
Curlin is a leading son of the
Mr. Prospector stallion
Smart Strike, who is emerging as a sire of sires. Other champion sons of Smart Strike making a name for themselves at stud include turf star English Channel and two-time Eclipse Award winner Lookin at Lucky, hero of the 2010 Preakness (G1), and sire of promoted 2019 Kentucky Derby victor Country House.
Himself a veteran of the 2007 Triple Crown trail, Curlin was still inexperienced when third to Street Sense and Hard Spun in the Kentucky Derby. But the brawny chestnut turned the tables on both to take the Preakness, and just got outdueled by champion filly Rags to Riches in the Belmont (G1).

EDITOR: Had enough yet? Multiple mass shootings within several days and what we hear from people like Ted Cruz and other Republicans are the same ignorant words opposing any additional gun control measures. Even Sandy Hook where numerous children were murdered was not enough for those people to take common sense action. These are the same people who claim to care so much about babies that they want to eliminate a woman’s right to an abortion even when her life is at stake. I guess their attitude is once the baby is born it is on its own and fair game to any lunatic with a gun.
