On the idyllic grounds of Overbrook Farm, nestled among the bluegrass hills outside Lexington, Ky., prized stallion Storm Cat is truly the master of his domain. A descendant of celebrated Triple Crown winner Secretariat, Storm Cat is the most sought-after thoroughbred sire in horse racing. And it's easy to see why. Storm Cat's offspring have earned more than $90 million at the track, prompting eager breeders to line their mares up outside his stable. Demanding a stud fee of $500,000 per session, Storm Cat figures to earn more than $20 million this year alone for his owners. Thoroughbred breeding, which has become a high-stakes game, is an intricate and detailed process that must be seen to be believed. Correspondent Bernard Goldberg takes a closer (but not too close) look at the billion-dollar business of horse breeding.
