between them , timber country and his stablemate thunder gulch ( who won the kentucky derby and the belmont stakes ) made d . wayne lukas the first trainer to sweep the american triple crown series in a single year with two different horses .

, timber country looked the part of a classic horse and delivered on that impression with a preakness stakes ( usa - i ) victory . despite that success , his 3 - year - old season was something of a disappointment as more had been expected of him .

timber country was big and strong with a straight hind leg and a long stride but was rather lazy on the track and required vigorous riding . he typically won his races with a strong stretch drive . he had a good disposition . following his preakness win , he spiked a temperature that caused him to miss the belmont stakes ( usa - i ) and suffered a career - ending tendon injury after returning to training .
timber country was far from the only talented sophomore in lukasâ ? ? barn , and one of those colts appeared to be a star on the rise in the winter of 1995 . thunder gulch , who didnâ ? ? t arrive in lukasâ ? ? care until november , captured the fountain of youth and florida derby . the colt then entered keenelandâ ? ? s blue grass stakes as an overwhelming favorite . thunder gulch faltered , running fourth and losing to longshot wild syn .

while the multiple group 1 winner hawk wing is his best performer of recent years , woodman is credited with seven champions in the northern hemisphere from his 19 crops . among them is the mare bosra sham , the 1995 preakness stakes winner timber country , the outstanding juvenile hector protector , and hansel , winner of both the preakness and belmont stakes in 1991 , as well as champions in japan , france , and canada . while he was a handy sire in australia and new zealand where he has sired 540 winners to date , woodman failed to achieve the same success as in europe and north america , a situation put down largely to the firmness of australian tracks .

sg : what are some of the charities you are involved in ? bc : being lucky enough to have some prominence , i try to focus attention on worthwhile causes . while you can’t really do everything , one of the things i am most closely involved with is cardinal glennon children’s hospital , in st . louis which is nationally renown for the quality of care they provide for kids , especially for the kids suffering from cancer . people come from all around the country and no one is turned away because of the inability to pay . so , for the past 15 years , we have been doing fundraisers where we will bring nationally recognized entertainers to put on a show . this year , john mellancamp is the performer and tom dreason , who opened for sinatra in the past . over the years , we had jay leno , ray romano , jerry seinfeld and gary shandling . so , we have really been lucky with the people we had perform .

real quiet ( march 7 , 1995 – september 27 , 2010 ) was an american champion thoroughbred racehorse . he was nicknamed
the fish
by his trainer , due to his narrow frame .

and nationalore . he finished his two year - old season with a record of 2 - 0 - 5 in nine starts with annual earnings of $ 381 , 122 .
although still lightly regarded in a year with many quality three - year - olds competing , in 1998 he was ridden to victory by jockey kent desormeaux in the kentucky derby . his beyer speed figure recorded in the hollywood futurity proved to be the highest beyer rating of any two - year - old horse that went on to win the kentucky derby . he then won the preakness stakes by a convincing margin . the weeks leading up to the belmont stakes , the third and final leg of the coveted triple crown , were full of excited speculation on real quiet ' s chances , but he lost his bid for racing immortality when victory gallop beat him by a nose in the final stride of the race .
no horse had come closer to taking the triple crown since affirmed ' s victory in 1978 and , as of the 2011 triple crown , this remains true . kent desormeaux was criticized for his jockeying in the belmont stakes . many believed he moved out too fast at the start , causing real quiet to tire in the final strides of the longer - than - average belmont course . for his performances in 1998 , real quiet won the eclipse award for best three - year - old colt .
as a four - year - old , real quiet won the grade one pimlico special and the grade one hollywood gold cup . in the $ 600 , 000 grade one special , real quiet was the second choice to free house , who had won both grade one starts coming into the race that year including the santa anita handicap . they dueled down the home - stretch , with gary stevens driving real quiet forward and chris mccarron trying to hold his thin lead aboard free house . in the final strides , real quiet poked his nose in front to win one of the closest special handicaps ever . i was afraid that free house would get out front and steal it , baffert said . it looked as though free house didn ' t want to give it up . but we were just lucky to get by him . real quiet ran the mile and three - sixteenths in 1 : 54 1 / 5 returned $ 5 . 80 for a $ 2 bet to win and added $ 360 , 000 to a bankroll that passed $ 2 . 6 million .
he was the first horse in 50 years to win the preakness stakes and the pimlico special . he still remains one of only five horses to accomplish that feat along with four triple crown winners in citation , whirlaway , assault and war admiral .
that summer real quiet won the one million dollar grade one hollywood gold cup defeating budroyale and malek over ten furlongs in 1 : 59 . 67 . he also managed to place third in the grade two massachusetts handicap at suffolk downs losing to behrens and running stag . he had two seconds in the grade three new orleans handicap and the grade three texas mile stakes . real quiet was considered to be a strong contender in the breeders ' cup classic and was entered in the pacific classic . however , he was injured and unable to race for the rest of the year . he finished his four year - old season as a millionaire with a record of 2 - 2 - 1 in five starts and annual earnings of $ 1 , 101 , 880 .
as a 4 - year - old , real quiet suffered a fractured splint bone in his right front leg . he had won or placed in 17 of 20 starts and earned $ 3 , 271 , 802 .
real quiet entered stud for a fee of $ 25 , 000 in 2000 at vinery kentucky near lexington . george hofmeister ' s highland farm had purchased the breeding rights in real quiet the month before the kentucky derby . hofmeister had bought majority interest in vinery , owned by ben p . walden jr . and his wife , elaine .
real quiet later stood at taylor made stallions in kentucky and pin oak lane farm then penn ridge , both in pennsylvania . real quiet also shuttled to australia and uruguay , taking advantage of the reversed breeding season observed in the southern hemisphere .
in 2005 , he was relocated to regal heir farms in pennsylvania . he has produced a prime runner in the

so ( since i have no life whatsoever ) , i went searching in my mind ( and on the internet ) thru recent history to find the answer and… . readers ? … the answer to that question is… . not good… . at all .
i went back as far as to when i first started following the sport ( as a pre - teen ) in 1979 .
out of the past 33 two year old champions only a handful ( 3 or 4 ? ) made a real impact on the track following their respective championship year .
impacts when reaching the breeding shed . but for now , let’s just look at how they faired post - two year old season :
this our native gelding won 6 of 9 races at two including the sapling stakes , futurity stakes ( both grade : 1’s ) and the grade : 2 cowdin . he won 4 of 6 races leading up to the kentucky derby including the blue grass stakes , but finished 5th in the derby , then bowed a tendon while finishing 3rd in the belmont stakes and was immediately retired .
won 5 of 10 races at two including the champagne stakes and young america stakes at meadowlands . at three , he won the hutcheson stakes but finished 3rd in the fountain of youth stakes , then bounced back to win the florida derby .
he missed the entire triple crown series due to suspensory ligament injury . he did return later in the year to win an allowance race , finish 2nd in the haskell and 3rd in the travers but after travers the ligament injury flared up again and he was retired in september .
syndicated for $ 10 million and had a very successful career as a stallion . ( $ 35 million in progeny earnings )
won 8 of 9 races in his first year including the laurel futurity and young america stakes at the meadowlands .
from that point on , he would win 3 of his next 10 races .
he would , however , go on to be one of the best sires this correspondent has ever seen . among his offspring include open mind , go for wand , dehere , awesome again and touch gold .
won last 5 of his 7 starts at age two including del mar futurity , norfolk stakes and hollywood futurity .
however , in late january 1983 he suffered a cannon - bone fracture in his left front leg that kept him out of racing for 10 months . upon his return to the track , roving boy won the alibhai handicap at santa anita park but after crossing the finish line he broke both hind legs .
doctors tried hard to save him , but inevitably the colt had to be euthanized shortly after .
blessed with good looks , the breeding and an enormous amount of speed he won all 5 races at two including the champagne stakes and laurel futurity .
but just didn’t come back the same way as a three year old . he did win his three year old debut ( a prep race for the flamingo stakes ) by seven lengths . but in the flamingo stakes itself , he entered the stretch with the lead but was quickly inhaled by his competitors and finished fourth
in april of 1984 , devil’s bag returned with a 15 length victory in the seven - furlong forerunner stakes at keeneland and then won his next start on april 28 at churchill downs in the one - mile derby trial stakes and all was thought to be well .
but on may 1 , hall of fame trainer woody stephens announced that devil’s bag would not run in the derby but that he might start in the preakness stakes… . just six days after that , a small fracture in his right front knee was discovered and the $ 36 million syndicated colt was immediately retired .
won 6 of 9 races at two including saratoga special stakes , hopeful stakes , cowdin stakes , norfolk stakes and bc juvenile . ( sounds familiar ? shanghai bobby had a similar schedule ) .
this good looking colt by super sire danzig then won his three year old debut ( the swale stakes ) , then flamingo stakes and blue grass stakes .
he disappointed ( if that’s what you want to call it ) in all three triple crown races as he finished 3rd in the kentucky derby , 2nd in preakness and 3rd in belmont .
his career was not a complete failure albeit , he did manage to win the travers , the marlboro cup ( both grade : 1’s ) before finishing fourth in the breeders cup classic .
won the del - mar futurity , the breeders futurity and the breeders cup juvenile at two while posting a record of 5 wins in 7 starts .
he won his first start at three ( the manassa mauler stakes at aqueduct ) . he actually bypassed the entire triple crown series and won just 3 of his next 16 races .
won 3 of 4 races as a two year old , including the bc juvenile . but he did not win a race in 6 starts at age three with one of those being a 16th place finish in the kentucky derby… . ouch .
won 5 of 6 races at two including the breeders’ futurity , champagne stakes and futurity stakes .
after all that , he finished 7th in the preakness but bounced back well later in the year to record wins in the haskell invitational stakes , travers stakes and nyra mile handicap before ending his career with a 4th place result in the breeders’ cup classic .
at three , he won the gotham stakes , wood memorial , but lost close decisons to sunday silence in both the kentucky derby and preakness . he bounced back and won the belmont stakes .
he also won the whitney handicap , travers stakes , woodward handicap and jockey club gold cup before losing another tough one to sunday silence in the breeders’ cup classic with one of the most horrific rides i’ve ever witnessed ( pat day ) .
he is absolutely one of the 3 or 4 horses who built on his two year old success and only god knows what he could have done had he had “good” ankles .
won 3 of 5 races in 1989 including the bc juvenile but his three year old campaign was a nightmare .
he finished 7th in the hutcheson , 10th in the fountain of youth and 5th in the gotham stakes .
he did , however , win the travers stakes at saratoga , but promptly went 0 for his next 7 and was retired midway thru his four year old season .
won 4 of 6 races at two including the champagne stakes and bc juvenile . he started off 1991 in good fashion as he won the hutcheson stakes , fountain of youth stakes and florida derby at gulfstreampark .

he would only win 3 more graded stakes races over his next 22 races .
european shipper won 7 of 8 races at two including an electrifying move on the far turn to win bc juvenile .
he needed knee surgery in between his 2 and 3 year old season and never really came back the same .
he won a stakes races back in europe to start his three year old season , but he was a shell of his old self while finishing 8th in the kentucky derby .
from there , he was beaten twice more back in europe , then came back to the us to finish 11th in the bc mile .
won all four starts at two including the sapling , the arlington - washington futurity and bc juvenile .
he was scheduled to make his three year old debut in the san rafael stakes in february , but in january ( 1993 ) , he bruised his left front foot during a workout at his home base at santa anita park .
the injury did not heal satisfactorily and in march his handler’s announced that because of the injury he would not be able to run in the kentucky derby and would be out of racing indefinitely .
he did not race again until november 6 ( 1993 ) when he ran third ( to cardmania ) in the breeders’ cup sprint . his next start , which was also the last of his career , came in december in the malibu stakes at santa anita park where he finished sixth .

he is yet another who goes downhill from there and i remember this colt ( like all the others ) well .
he finished 3rd in the san rafael stakes , 2nd in san felipe stakes , 4th in santa anita derby and 3rd in the kentucky derby .
he won the preakness stakes and , thinking he finally turned the corner in his three year old year , was made the favorite to win the third and final leg of the triple crown series , the belmont stakes .

won 4 for 5 races including the futurity stakes and champagne stakes at belmontpark at two .
he missed the next 9 months and returned to finish 2nd in an allowance race in new york and then 6th in the jim dandy stakes .

he was just coming into his own as a sire after he sired two kentucky derby winners in monarchos ( 2001 ) and super saver ( 2010 ) , and in turn his stud fee was raised to $ 60 , 000 in 2007 . even with the inflated fee he still covered an eye popping 132 mares in his last season . maria’s mon died of severe laminitis at the young age of 14 .

was an incredible 8 for 8 and posted 7 stakes wins ( bashford manor , hopeful , saratoga special and bc juvenile amongst others ) at the age of two and sparked talk about being named horse of the year as a two year old ( which happened only one time before… . secretariat in 1972 )
but was yet another who just didn’t comeback the same way at three . he won the swale stakes to begin his second season , but finished 3rd in the arkansas derby and 8th in the kentucky derby . he did win the jim dandy stakes later on in the year but was retired soon after .
won 4 of 7 races at two including the bc juvenile to win the award as best two year old colt .
however , his three year old season was a complete disaster . he went 0 for 7 including finishing 10th in the kentuckyderby… . . ouch again .
won a maiden race , came third in the norfolk stakes in california and then pulled off a monster upset ( 30 - 1 ) in the bc juvenile .
another who had a disastrous three year old season while making just three starts . he finished 3 rd in the san felipe stakes , 4 th in the santa anita derby and 14 th in the kentucky derby and was retired .
unfortunately , retirement wasn’t much better for him . after a freak paddock accident on march 31 , 2003 , anees fractured his left front pastern and underwent emergency surgery . the operation left him in a body sling with a full cast on his left pastern that went all the way up to the shoulder . the extensive efforts to save him proved fruitless and anees had to be euthanized a week later .
but he won just 3 of 10 in the next two years of his career . he completely bypassed the triple crown series…because he flat wasn’t good enough .
was 6 for 6 in europe at two , then shipped to the us and won the breeders cup juvenile in his only us start .
he finished 2nd in his first start as a three in europe , came back to the us and finished 8th in the kentucky derby . this world traveler then returned to europe and ran 9th at royal ascot in a race that proved to be his last .
was purchased for $ 2 . 15 million at the 2001 keeneland september yearling sale…big , absolutely gorgeous , almost all black colt by seatlle slew won all 4 races at two years of age including the juvenile , but severely injured a front leg and never raced again .
came back horribly at three when he finished 4th in his three year old debut ( the sham stakes at santa anita ) , then promptly went 0 for 6 the rest of the year with one of the races being a 6th place finish in the kentucky derby .
won all 4 races at two including the hollywood futurity and del mar futurity but was not entered in the bc juvenile .
he won his first race at three ; the santa catalina stakes at santa anita which would turn out to be his last stakes win .
over the next three ( injury plagued ) years , he only won 1 out of 13 races and it was an allowance race .
owned by talk show host merv griffin , he won 3 of 5 at two and showed an explosive late move to win bc juvenile .
his first and only race at three came in a 2nd place finish in the san rafael stakes at santa anita .
on february 7 , 2006 , it was announced that he had suffered a hairline fracture in his ankle . the next day , a screw was inserted in to his leg to correct the fracture and his immediate future was put on hold .
midway thru his three year old season ( july 2007 ) it was announced that stevie wonderboy was “not himself” and had to be retired .
is the only horse in 33 years to win the bc juvenile , two year old colt champion and the kentucky derby the following year . at three , he also won the tampa bay derby , jim dandy stakes and
like easy goer , you can say he was successful at three years old .
was 4 of 4 at two including the bc juvenile , but is yet another who tanked in his three year old season .
he won an allowance race , finished 7th in the tampa bay derby and 2nd in the wood memorial stakes which in turn would be his last race as he injured a knee shortly after and was retired .
won 3 of 4 at two including the bc juvenile . he then missed almost a year ( injury ) after and only came back to win 2 of his last 4 races . none of which were at the stakes level .
talented and good looking , he won 5 of 6 races at the age of two .
at three , he won four graded stakes races including the preakness stakes and haskell invitational stakes .
lookin’ at lucky , shown here winning the preakness stakes , was one of only a few horses to blossom as a 3 year old .
won all three races at two in spectacular fashion including the breeders cup juvenile . he won his first race at three , the timely writer stakes at gulfstream park , before the wheels came off… . he finished 3rd in the wood memorial stakes at aqueduct before developing a digestive disease . after missing almost five months , he would win just one of his next three races , the kelso handicap at belmont park and was retired .
won all three starts at two , ( two of them by very wide margins ) including the bc juvenile .
but he finished 2nd in the holy bull stakes his first time out at three . then only won 2 of his next five ( the gotham stakes and iowa derby ) while finishing 9th in the kentucky derby .
so , as you can see history doesn’t bode well for shanghai bobby . albeit , he’s won at a mile and a sixteenth already , there are many who question his ability to get a distance of ground . ( like say 1 ¼ miles on the first saturday in may ) .
that much remains to be seen but keep in mind over the past 33 ( years or ) two year old male champions , only street sense went on to win the kentucky derby… . that , readers , is a staggering stat from where i sit .
nice write up and a solid argument . hard to buck trends that go back that far , but the bottom line is that it is still up to the individual and past indicators don’t necessarily impact the present . as said , luck plays a huge part , especially in a 20 horse race ! as far as rest goes , shouldn’t that be on a horse by horse basis and not an across the board assumption ?
william… . yes sir , it should… . the future , and the past for that matter , is / was / always will be a case by case scenario .
all i was trying to point out was that the history of the two yo champions is not good .
…and of course none of really truly know what the future holds… . . if i did…i’d be pretty wealthy . 🙂
luck , yes – more rest , no . two recent huge failures ( hansen and uncle mo ) each only ran 3 times at 2 – how much more rest do you want ?
easy goer , street sense , lookin at lucky – your successes – all ran twice as often as those two .
treat them like delicate hothouse flowers and that’s what you get ; fragile pieces of china . nice piece , well researched . i wrote about this curse back when everyone was calling uncle mo the next seattle slew , while i figured he was more like the next war pass :
it seems very anti - instinctual , but the less you train and race these developing youngsters , the less dense you make their bones and the less structurally sound you make their ligaments / tendons . this isnt me talking , it’s science – google nunamaker shin study at the new bolton center , circa late 90’s .
overall , i really and truly believe its a case by case situation… . . some horse ( charismatic ) need hard work and a lot of races… . . while say… . lookin’ at lucky seemed to run better with his races spaced apart .
i do think it’s odd that years ago , horses went into the kentucky deby with sometimes as many as 10 - 12 races under their belts where nowadays ( some ) enter with 4… .
agreed… . . thats why you are going to see several horses in this years derby who will be coming in with 2 and ( no more than ) 3 starts .
as we enter another triple crown season , the big question is again : will any three - year - old be able to sweep the spring classics ? since affirmed in 1978 , 10 have captured the first two legs only to be denied racing immortality by losing in the belmont stakes ; six of those in the last nine years . sadly , two owners who experienced firsthand the thrill of coming within a length or two of capturing the triple crown passed away earlier this year .
bob lewis , who with his wife , beverly , campaigned silver charm and charismatic to two of the near misses , had been in poor health since december and died on feb . 17 at the age of 81 . on the same day roy chapman , who with his wife , patricia , bred and raced 2004 kentucky derby and preakness winner smarty jones , lost his battle with emphysema and asthma . he was 79 .
among their many honors , bob and beverly lewis were presented in 1997 with the eclipse award of merit for their service to racing .
in contrast to the multiple classic winners campaigned by bob lewis , smarty jones was roy chapman’s only entrée into the rarified air of the triple crown . chapman and his wife owned someday farm , a small breeding operation in pennsylvania , and prior to the success of this son of elusive quality had only won a number of minor stakes , including a couple in new jersey with smarty’s dam , i’ll get along .
in a wheelchair and on oxygen , chapman was at churchill downs to watch as smarty jones became the first undefeated kentucky derby winner since seattle slew . the hugely popular colt , who chapman described as “blue - collar , ” won eight of nine starts ; his only defeat was the heartbreaking length loss to birdstone in the belmont stakes . retired to three chimneys farm in a stud deal worth close to $ 40 million , smarty jones was voted champion three - year - old of 2004 .

there are many theories and strategies when it comes to picking the winners in horseracing . as the stakes get bigger , especially the triple crown races , it becomes more difficult to find the standout horse because every entry is there for a reason . in this column , we break down five factors to consider when you handicap the races . condition , class , speed , pace and pedigree all play a major factor to trainers when they decide to enter a horse in a race , so you should use those same things to compare the entries of each race and determine which one will come out on top .
factors such as a horse running “in form” or “off form” are referring to a horses condition . determining condition can be a simple matter of evaluating a horse’s recent races . has the horse finished in the top half of the field ? is he a front - runner or has he shown very much speed ? more often than not , you will see the kentucky derby champion has lost his last race before the derby . could it be horses that win the kentucky derby prep races are burned out by the time they reach churchill downs ? or , have the races they lost actually been close or against stiff competition ? usually , if a horse has not been competitive in the prep races leading up to the kentucky derby , the chances of competing on the first saturday in may are pretty unlikely .

the european fir budworm choristoneura murinana ( lepidoptera , tortricidae ) is infected by a nucleopolyhedrovirus ( npv ) ( chmunpv ) ( 1 ) . chmunpv has a relatively wide host range and infects several additional tortricids , including the codling moth , cydia pomonella , and at least one noctuid , mamestra brassicae . during infection , it produces spindle - shaped cytoplasmic occlusions ( 1 ) , possibly derived from gp37 ( ac64 ) ( 2 ) . it was characterized by restriction endonuclease digestion and shown to be distinct from the npvs of choristoneura occidentalis ( chocnpv ) and choristoneura fumiferana ( cfmnpv ) ( western and eastern spruce budworms , respectively ) ( 3 ) . subsequently , this was confirmed by the pcr amplification and sequencing of a portion of the lef - 8 gene ( 4 ) . to further characterize this virus , the complete sequence of its genome was determined using 454 sequencing technology and found to be 124 , 689 bp and to encode 148 predicted proteins of over 50 amino acids . a total of 143 of the open reading frames ( orfs ) showed similarity to other baculovirus genes in the database , including all 37 core genes . chmunpv encodes the fusion protein gp64 and is a member of the group i alphabaculoviruses .
this study was carried out to clarify the fauna of the tribe archipini , which belongs to the family tortricidae in northeast china . in the present study , fifty - four species of the tribe were recognized and enumerated . based on the present study , two species , archips viola falkovitsh and choristoneura evanidana ( kennel ) , are reported for the first time from china . also five species , archips dichotomus falkovitsh , archips similis ( butler ) , argyrotaenia angustilineata ( walsingham ) , choristoneura longicellana ( walsingham ) , and gnorismoneura orientis ( filipjev ) , are newly recorded from northeast china . all available information , including host plant , distributional range , and biological information , are listed .

the relatedness of baculovirus genomes is normally determined by combining pif2 and lef8 amino acid sequences . chmunpv pif2 is unusual in that it has an n - terminal extension of 126 amino acids that is not closely related to anything in the database and is not found in other baculoviruses . however , when the extension was removed and the combined pif2 - lef8 sequences were compared , chmunpv was closest to cfmnpv and chocnpvs , in a lineage distinct from cydia rosanus npv ( chronpv ) , orgyia pseudotsugata mnpv ( opmnpv ) , and hyphantria cunea npv ( hycunpv ) , which were the other most closely related viruses to chmunpv . all the branch points showed bootstrap levels of 99 % or 100 % and amino acid identities of 93 % ( opmnpv ) and 94 % ( hycunpv ) , to over 97 % ( cf - , choc - , and chronpvs ) .
more extensive comparison of about 40 predicted proteins showed that they were on average about 91 % identical to those from cfmnpv , with some orfs ( those for polyhedrin and ubiquitin ) being 99 % identical ( 5 ) . however , other orfs showed lower identity , such as those for ac66 ( 66 % ) and vp80 ( ac104 ) ( 72 % ) . the genome ( 124 . 7 kb ) is about 4 kb smaller than that of the close relative chocnpv ( 6 ) . part of this is due to the lack of a viral enhancing factor ( vef ) gene that could account for 2 . 3 kb of the difference . the chmunpv genome showed a pattern of homologous regions similar to those of chocnpv and chronpv ( 6 ) .
although most of the genome was assembled from the set of 454 sequence reads ( 138× coverage ) , a region within the desmoplakin gene ( ac66 ) did not link up . to resolve this gap , primers were designed to span the region and pcr amplification resulted in two amplicons . upon sequencing the two products , we found the difference to be in the number of repeats of a sequence within ac66 . the longer orf that was used in the assembly reported here had three repeats of a 75 - nucleotide ( nt ) sequence , whereas the smaller orf had only two repeats . this suggested that the sample that was sequenced was a mixture of two variants .
the genome sequence of chmunpv has been deposited in genbank under the accession no .
this research was supported by a tartar grant to g . f . r . and a canadian crop genomics initiative grant to m . a . e . and d . a . t .
the technical assistance of doug baldwin in preparing the chmunpv dna for sequencing , conducting pcr and analyzing pcr products , and assembling the genome sequence is gratefully acknowledged .

sometimes taxonomists create new names for groups that already have a name . they may do this because they are unaware of the original name , or they may think the organism before them belongs to a different group when in fact it does not . if two or more names are found to apply to the same group , they are considered synonyms . in most cases , the first name takes priority and is considered to be the valid or accepted name . however , there can be exceptions , and it ' s not always easy to determine which of a series of synonyms should be considered valid or accepted . here we list the synonyms provided to eol by our classification partners . we also include other versions of the name that most likely refer to the same group , for example , misspellings in the literature or different variations of the authorship associated with the name .
