"Perhaps the biggest surprise was 7.23-to-1 ratio generated
by Grade 1-winning sprinter TASTE OF PARADISE.
An exceptionally handsome horse himself, several of his
offspring had the good fortune to resemble their striking sire."
-John Sparkman Bloodstock/Sale Editor Thoroughbred Times Today-Nov. 22, 2007
"And I mustn't forget my annual speech about TASTE OF PARADISE...
he was the unluckiest loser of a Grade 1 race I've seen in years; he
definitely should have beaten Silver Train that day, so I reckon a $6,000
fee for a Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) winner in all but name is nothing."
