the same horse won the Pilmlico Special from off the pace the following year with Eibar Coa aboard - so yes that is another Grade 1 he might have had for his career , do you think Jerry would not have wanted to win the Pimlico Special the next year , i think it's a Grade 1 isn't it?

Not winning a grade 1 on a horse that you rode in 2 legs of the triple crown the year before is not losing something?

I'm sure he was in great pains over Eddington while riding the Horse of the Year that year.

I know he's had others but other than Summer Colony has Hennig had a better horse? Not to my recollection, so what exactly did Bailey miss out on I ask.

OKay Gales If it makes you feel better I'll give you the Pimlico Special, I'm sure Bailey's still regretting that one.

honey... I'm sure Bailey cries himself to sleep at night knowing that he lost Hennigs mount and missed out on a Pimlico Special win... a race that he won THREE times!!!

Gosh I cant believe I'm supporting a case for Bailey... I feel the same way about him as Steve does..

but really Gales... please try to stop repeating the same damn question 27 times.

Didn't they cancel the Pimlico Special two years after Eddington won it? So to answer gales' question, no, it doesn't really count for much anymore.
