“I recall vividly seeing Tomahawk as a Yearling at Keeneland. I was with Mark Brooking at the time.
I was so taken by Tomahawk that we looked at him for a solid twenty minutes. After I caught my breath, I turned to Mark and said, ‘this is one of the Best-Looking Yearlings I have ever seen.’”
- Leading Breeder John Gaines
“When I was approached about training Tomahawk on behalf of Morgan Firestone, I was excited, because I remember what an awesome-looking yearling he was.
Tomahawk was a Very, Very fast horse. When he opened up by 5 on the lead at Gulfstream after getting the half in :44 2/5, I thought to myself, this is one talented, good- looking horse, a real Stallion Prospect.”
