That was shortly before Craig Perret bragged about stiffing the big favorite in the prep for the Queen's Plate.

Which brings us to the next question......" favorite Canadian Triple Crown winners "?

Snicker.

Should have known you'd have to be a smarta$$ in some kind of way... ;)

My favorite was Izvestia, it's sad they he broke down and couldn't
be saved. One my favorite grays of all time

He was the horse Randy Romero rode in the BC Classic after he broke his shoulder when Go For Wand broke down.

He was a very good horse.

Was he A Kinghaven Farm horse?

I think so but I'm not sure.

Thanks BTW, Dance Smartly was also a Canadian Triple Crown winner
and also nice horse here in the States. Who was lastest Canadian Triple
Crown winner was it Peteski.

Didnt Wando do it?

I don't know.

Afleet was the best Canadian horse I ever saw. He was a victim of Gary Stahlbaum otherwise he would have had quite a resume. Stahlbaum cost him both the Met Mile and the BC Sprint.

Thanks Kiri

Your'e right on about Wando. Patrick Husbands rode him

BTW, Afleet sired to of my favorite fillies Twist Afleet and
Flat Fleet Feet and a nice sprinter Tim Ritchey had Cat Be Nimble.
Is he still at stud in Japan?

Speaking of Thunder Rumble and Hollywood Herb is Thunder Rumble
still with us or is Thunder Puddles of thinking of.

Wherever he is I am sure he is glad to be away from Gary Stahlbaum.

I can't decide which ride I liked better...the Met, where he smacked Afleet in the head with the whip, causing him to prop, and lose a photo to Gulch, or the BC Sprint, where somehow the brilliant Stahlbaum had him LAST at the top of the stretch, only to finish third beaten a couple lengths.

Phil Teator would have won those races.

Apparently he's at Keane Stud in NY...

Thunder Puddles is at Highcliff in Delanson. Rumble stood in VA for a while then was returned to NY.

Linny,

Thanks for the information

Mike
