First of all....it's DrugS to you (and everyone else for that matter)
Orientate won the Indiana Derby at like 15/1, on the stretch-out, as a 3-year-old...and D. Ranged Lukas ran him in the Breeders Cup Classic next time out. He was on the lead early and was eased late, it was the race where Sakhee hung like rotten salami against Tiznow.
Orientate ran in a couple, I think three or four route races at SA during the winter meet at age 4. He won a grass stake--and him and Western Pride (a Chapman horse) went 1-2 the entire way around the track in the Strub.
He was finally brought back to dirt sprints in the Commonwealth at KEE...and never lost another dirt sprint. I believe he did run in a pair of turf stakes after his Commenwealth win over Aldebaran...with little or no success.
