Are you more interested in Crozier or Copelan? I have to ask since neither of the first 2 horses you list, Ruler’s Court and Wise River, have Crozier in their pedigree. But they are by Copelan. Both Crozier and Copelan were bred/owned by Fred Hooper, and along with Olympia, are some of his most famous horses. Fred passed away in 2000, so the last crop of foals off his place was in 2001. Unfortunately, his wife was pretty quick to get rid of all the horses, property, you name it after his death. Most of the horses went through a dispersal sale and ended up scattered all over the place.
It’s really hard to find any descendants of Crozier these days, especially because his most famous offspring, Precisionist, was nearly sterile and only sired 4 offspring. However, I have seen the stallion Beat Inflation pop up in some pedigrees of racing horses in the last few years or so, so he might be a good avenue to pursue.
Copelan was a much more prevalent sire, and one of his more recently well known and utilized descendants was Rockport Harbor. R.H. is deceased, but he was a pretty prolific sire, so is also another good sire line to check out.
I’ve got several mares with a mix of these bloodlines, and would be more than happy to discuss what I know, their movement, temperaments, etc.

Even though interesting info I am interested in the stallions I mentioned and THEIR offspring rather than their father(s). Sad though whn people’s pride and joy and hard work gets scattered in the wind after they die which seems to be the case with the breeder of Copelan and Crozier
