What phenom of Turfway Park was purchased privately before the Derby and went on to win a G1 while beating a BC Classic Winner and a Dubai World Cup Winner?


Incidentally, I don't follow breeding, but has he produced anything?

This might be a little before some of your time.

There was a time when a jockey would get a 3lb weight allowance.

1-What was the reason?
2-What was the symbol used in the racing form?
3-Who was the last one?
You guys get this you're good.

1. Women used to get an allowance.
2. The symbol used is the one Prince has used (i'm pretty sure about this)
3. Mary Bacon.

No, it was the horse with Yutaki Take, I think El Senor, in the now defunct Seneca.

What's funny is that when I teased Kurt about it on the show this year he even had the wrong horse...and then told me I was right later.

I thought Paseka showed great character having that photo taken, seriously.

Kurt is one of the funniest guys in the world.

And...he's certainly a great character!

I've never met him, but he seems it. I don't play poker and I even like his columns about it.
