III), in which he was favored over eventual Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winner Funny Cide, "We always considered him the gamest runner in our barn to come back and win stakes after those injuries."
Added Edge was foaled by the $211,577 stakes winner Sweet Nostalgia, who also produced the $252,151 stakes winner Gold Memory.
