Trainer's Notes: Revotic's bloodlines is what first caught my eye; knowing her sire's reputation, the deal on Revotic was too good to pass up. Upon thorough review of her race history, it appears as though she was sorely mismanaged at the track. Considering that she raced against the likes of A Bus ('04), Case Closed ('05), True Ensign ('05), Taco Bell ('06), and her half-sister Isca's Revenge ('05) she didn't do half bad.
Owner's Notes: Revotic is sired by the one of the greatest horses to grace the tracks of Photo Finish (if not The greatest). Revenge was a menace on the dirt at distances from 9 furlongs to 12 furlongs; he was near-unbeatable and is a living legend. Many feel that if he hadn't sat out the Deby in the injury barn he would have swept the Triple. As was expected by many, he is rapidly becoming one of Photo Finish's leading sires and it is the hope of Circle F that his daughter will show the same notoriety as a broodmare; she ran strongly for us in our inaugural season and we have very high hopes for her foals. With A.P. Indy and Serena's Song on top and Storm Cat and Kotashaan on bottom, breeding Revotic is a no-brainer.
Bloodstock Manager's Notes: Revotic belongs to Family 1-c which descends from the Tap Root mare Mustard (1824, by Merlin); 1-x is a new classification that has recently been applied to the notable mare La Troienne. It is the hope of all of Circle F that Revotic, through judicious breeding, may one day earn her own Tap Root designation -- That journey is to begin with her 2012 foal by Rivendell's Big N' Rich.

One of PF's all time greats. He notched 11 G1 wins during his career. He sat out the KY Derby with an injury, but mass consensus is that he would have made the triple had he run. His stats had to be adjusted down to give the other horses in PF a chance at eating his dust. He is a Top Sire and has 15 millionaires among his get: Isca's Revenge, Retribution, Machete, Double Dome, Poseiden's Gift, Reward, Hell Hath No Fury, Shatter, Rewind, Priceless Revenge, Revelation, Trigun, Islegetrevenge, Dru, and Sweet Tombi. His record will speak the rest of his greatness:

6 Tear Drop :22:4 :46:1 1:09:4 1:34:2 1:55:3 Ran brilliantly

8 Ensign Day :23:1 :46:2 1:10:1 1:35:1 1:57:1 Still developing, maybe a little too much distance
3 All Sheba :25:1 :48:4 1:12:4 1:37.0 1:57:4 Possibly too tired
5 Celtic Cat :25:1 :49:1 1:12:4 1:37.0 1:58:1 No factor

Media notes:
He bettered the season record for 6 furlongs by 3/5ths of a second (though he still had 3 1/2 furlongs to go)
He bettered the season record for the mile by 2 2/5ths seconds (though he had 1 1/2 furlongs to go)
Unofficially, he bettered the season records for both the mile and 1/16 and the mile and 1/8.
He demolished the season record for a mile and 3/16 (1:55 flat) by 3 and 3/5ths seconds.
He broke by a full second the Pimlico track record for the distance (1:52 2/5ths) set by Farma Way in 1991.
He broke by 2 full seconds the Preakness record of 1:53 2/5ths set by Tank's Prospect in 1985 and tied by Louis Quatorze in 1996.
And, are you ready for this? He tied the World Record for the distance. The previous record for 9.5 furlongs was set by a horse named Toonerville, a 5-year-old running at Hialeah in 1976 and carrying a slight 102 lbs. Revenge carried 24 lbs. more!
2 Revenge :22:4 :45:4 1:09.0 1:32:4 1:57.0 2:21:4 Call the Ghostbusters -- RECORD TIME --

7 Tear Drop :23:2 :46:3 1:10:3 1:35:2 2:00:4 2:31:4 Too much distance
4 Celebration :24:3 :49.0 1:13:3 1:38.0 2:02:4 2:31:4 A class act, but never a factor
1 Take Note :25.0 :49:1 1:13:3 1:38:1 2:03.0 2:31:4 Strong effort, but over matched
6 Sea Siren :24:4 :48:4 1:13:2 1:38.0 2:03:2 2:32:4 Overmatched
"...the Belmont Stakes, where Revenge prevailed by an impossibly enormous 28 lengths"
Exotic was also an excellent racer, most notably at 9 - 12 furlongs. She is sought after by many as a top broodmare.
