ONE COOL CAT (USA)
The young Storm Cat stallion One Cool Cat did not shuttle to Cambridge Stud for the 2009 breeding season.
"This has been a purely commercial decision. One Cool Cat is not presently in demand with breeders, so shuttling him this season is simply not viable.
The option is open for Cambridge Stud to stand One Cool Cat in the future if it makes commercial sense," said Sir Patrick.
