Mr. Prospector’s transfer from Aisco Farm in Florida to Claiborne Farm in Kentucky for the 1981 breeding season meant a sharp upgrade in the quality of broodmares to be covered by the sensational young son of Raise a Native.
Mr. Prospector had shown what he could do with mares with Kentucky-quality pedigrees through the accomplishments of Fappiano, Miswaki, Gold Beauty, and Eillo, among others, and buyers responded by digging into their bank accounts when his first Kentucky-conceived yearlings came on the market in 1983.

Winner of the Prairie Meadows Freshman Stakes as a juvenile, Uh Oh Bango earned Iowa's Horse of the Year honors for 2009.
