Blackthroatedwind,

I believe Editor's Note was 3rd in 1996.

Here's what I remember about Prince of Thieves:

-He ran 3rd in the Derby.
-Lukas took Pat Day off the horse in favor of Bailey for the Preakness.
-His breeding closely resembled that of Timber Country, who won the Preakness one year earlier. (I think that was Prince of Thieves. I won't swear to it.)
-I think his odds were lower than Louis Quatorze's, and LQ was around 8-1.

As far as I remember, Prince of Thieves was considered a contender in the 1996 Preakness.

But Timber Country was a proven good horse.

I always thought Prince of Thieves was a bit of a bum so perhaps I'm biased.

I was talking about third in the Charismatic Preakness.

Charismatic won the Preakness in 1999.

As for the show horse, his name was Badge. Doesn't he stand up in NY somewhere? I didn't realize he was named after a song.

And I think Aquilino did train him.
It was Badge at monster odds, but I didn't know it was named after a song?

You don't know the Cream song " Badge? "


Love is my Badge.

Well, the same owner had a horse named Slowhand.

It is Clapton's nickname.

Nope... I'll have to download it on iTunes.

Cream? Never heard of them.

Did you know that Editor's Note won a 6F race at Belmont as a 2YO on opening day after Saratoga? Pretty incredible considering what a plodder he was.

Well, those out of their teens have probably heard of them.

Similarly, Birdstone turned into a plodder, but I'm sure you remember his 6F Saratoga debut. Pounded down in a full field of 12 and he blitzed them in fast time.

There were not 12 horses in his debut. There were 12 horses, maybe 14 actually, in Proud Accolade's debut. That's probably the race you are confusing him with.

Their legendary farewell concert may have been in 1969 though they had a reunion tour of a few shows last year.


They were Clapton's first band I believe.

Surely you've hear of " Sunshine of Your Love. "

Correct, there was 9 in Birdstone's debut. Didn't Proud Accolade debut in 2004? I recall him battling Afleet Alex.

Whaaat! You don't know who Cream is? Eric Clapton? Crossroads?
