As a person who spends most of his handicapping time on The Meadowlands or Grand Circuit racing, it is rare that I come across breeding outside of the elite. So, when Googoo Gaagaa came around with his pacing breeding and trotted in 1:50 4/5 back in 2012, it was certainly fun to watch and cover. While Googoo Gaagaa is starting to make his mark overseas as a stallion, we should remember his sire Cam's Rocket, who passed away on July 6 at the age of 24.  While virtually no one had heard of Cam's Rocket, who made $234,164 on the track, prior to 2011, he certainly made his own little dent in the industry. A son of Cam's Card Shark out of Queen Of Rock, Cam's Rocket sired 21 horses who earned at least $100,000, six of them on the trotting side, including his three richest sons. He also did reasonably well on the track, winning a number of Opens and Invitationals in Ohio in 2001. Perhaps it is best for Corey Callahan, who drove Googoo Gaagaa, to have the final word on Cam's Rocket. The driver had the following to say on Twitter: "Sad day for Maryland Harness Racing with the passing of Cam’s Rocket. He sired multiple stakes winners on the trot and pace including his best son world champion Googoo Gaagaa, who is now carrying on his bloodlines throughout the US and Europe. Rest well old fella." The passing of Cam's Rocket got me to thinking of other more obscure stallions that are trying to make a place for themselves in the Standardbred world. Have you heard of The Pepperoni Kid? Me neither. He last raced in 2018 and grinded out a pretty nice career while earning over $300,000 through nine years of racing, mostly at The Meadows. He clearly passed on the affinity for the Washington, PA track because 3-year-old Papa Cheez picked up his first career win in two starts over that oval on July 6. From five listed foals in 2017, his first as a stallion, three have raced and two are winners. Looking over the results from Scarborough Downs, I found a horse by Sand Chaser that won a race on the July 3 card. A winner of about $200,000 on the track, Sand Chaser has fathered hundreds of foals and 11 of them have even gone on to earn over $100,000. Anyone heard of Deep Chip back in 2011? He was a 1:57 trotter who made about $150,000 on the track. Almost 10 years later, he became the sire of a millionaire! With a fourth-place finish at Hoosier Park on July 1, I Know My Chip, from the first crop of Deep Chip back in 2012, pushed his career earnings to $1,000,873. Deep Chip has also produced five other $100,000-plus winners from under 100 foals and had a 2-year-old Ohio Sire Stakes winner in Shouldaknownbetter on July 3 at Scioto Downs. Horses like Cam's Rocket and Deep Chip are proof that you don't have to be the best to breed a world champion or millionaire. Along with The Pepperoni Kid, Sand Chaser and countless others, they provide a valuable service of filling the entry boxes across the country. Let's hear it for these unknown contributors.
