Storm Cat – Flordelisada, by Drone
Gray or Roan • 1993


The son of Storm Cat stormed to sire success with two classy stakes winners from his first crop!

Illinois Storm's son Calkins Road wins the California Cup Classic.

Illinois Storm's first crop included California champion Calkins Road ($520,735), Grade 3 winner Georgia's Storm and stakes-placed Gyrene and Snoopy Cat. That first crop's 11 foals all started and earned over $1,100,000 with average earnings per runner of more than $108,000.

Illinois Storm's seven first-crop winners all won on California tracks. His two stakes winners from that crop won or placed in seven stakes races at Santa Anita and Hollywood Park.

Illinois Storm's total progeny earnings have passed the $2.4 million mark, and he is represented by five $100,000-plus earners to date. Among his nine stakes horses is Shadow of Illinois ($379,505), the winner of Santa Anita Park’s Grade 3 San Simeon Handicap in 2005 and still a multiple winner at the age of 9 in 2009!

Illinois Storm is a twice stakes-placed son of the fabulously successful Storm Cat and his performance in the stud already has marked him as a worthy carrier of that great sire line.

Illinois Storm's pedigree is rich in classic blood. It includes double crosses not only to the highly influential Bold Ruler but also to the great mare Somethingroyal, dam of both Secretariat and Sir Gaylord, as well as his primary male line, Northern Dancer to Storm Bird to Storm Cat.
