If the 2007 racing season ended right now, it would be hard to argue against Kodiak Kowboy as the champion 2-year-old male.

Three of Posse's stakes winners are out of mares from the Mr. Prospector sire line. Another pattern that has been frequently tried with Posse is inbreeding to Northern Dancer.
