Prior to The Jockey Club's adoption of more stringent rules about reusing the same names for Thoroughbreds, one noted stallion actually had two stakes winners in the same decade who bore the same name, though the younger was given the suffix "II" to distinguish him from his elder and much superior namesake. Who was the sire and who were his two "name's the same" sons?

Was it was Bold Ruler and his two sons named Bold Lad?

A good guess, but the two Bold Lads weren't both registered in the American Stud Book---one was Irish-bred. Also, neither had the suffix "II" added. Try again!

The sire was High Time. The sons were Sarazen and Sarazen II.
