Trivia
 

name him.

The world's hottest sire.

yep - worlds hottest route sire - and worlds worst debut sire it would seem.

The female Mine That Bird ....



Name her.

Lemons Forever?

Yes. I had already forgot about her - until I scanned the '06 BC pre-entry PP's.

Kentucky Derby Favorite

Pulled off one of racings greatest upsets - never finished first or second again.



Name him

Sweetnorthernsaint - I would have got it even if SNS didn't give it away

Built For Pleasure?

correct

Oops - I couldn't figure out how to post the pic the way you do. . .

SNS was my lock to win the Preakness.

Never lost on a wet track ....



Name him.

Bertrando

Correct.

From Canterbury Park - to the KY Oaks winner circle ....



Name her.

Gal In A Ruckus?

Bet Twice's half sister, Golden Treat was a close 2nd and ill-fated Pleasant Stage 3rd...I think.

I like how between the epic battle with Best Pal in the Gold Cup and Pacific Classic Bertrando squeezed in a trip to Monmouth.......

Nope.

And that was with Frankel training no-less.

I thought Gal In A Ruckus was a John Ward horse, which didn't make sense.

But I'm pretty certain I'm right about the place horses. And I remember the winner having a long, stupid name.

That fact was negated by Ed Nahem owning the horse (and playing wannabe trainer--ultimately leading Frankel to dump the horse from his barn).

The great Glenn Wismer trained this Oaks winner ... this was back before every single horse in his entire barn was sired by $5,000 claimer Cozar.

His breeding coup - standing his own stallion that was given to him - ruined his training career.

Try another tough one ....

Typically overbet Lukas horse ... was euthanized after breaking down in the PA Derby.



Name him.

Prince Of Thieves, out of the great broodmare Fall Aspen...I think.

Correct.

A little easier one ....

Four time Grade 1 winner - she was once beaten only 2 lengths in the Kentucky Derby. She had a little bit of a problem with Riboletta at the end of her career.



Name her.

Excellent Meeting

Correct.

This one is very hard. For some reason - this horse had a bizzare fetish of 9f races at AQU on the main track.



Name him.

Tossing a bomb out there with Iron Gavel?

Ormsby?

Nope.

Sue Alpers trained this horse .... if that's any help at all.

Correct.

Sharp Baffert horse ... he set the pace in a great clash between Gentleman and Skip Away in the Pimlico Special.



Name him.

Isitingood.

I knew that Kentucky Oaks winner had a long, stupid name.

Can't believe I had to look it up. Other dumb names like Gal In A Ruckus and Lucky Lucky Lucky kept clouding my memory.

Going in next week for an MRI. Something must be up.

Correct. By Crusader's Sword .... well named horse.


Here's one that actually won the Wood Memorial with a 116 Beyer - but his trainer passed on the Derby for fear that the crowd would scare him. He didn't lose again until he tried older horses and Skip Away crushed him.



Name this mental midget equine.
