I only managed getting 6 of 10 right myself. Probably didn't think a few of them through deep enough.

I was tripped up on the same question as TG. Holy Bull and Halo's Image got caught up in a WILD speed duel in the '94 Fountain of Youth....Holy Bull looked like he was put away by Halo's Image, and ended up finishing dead last beaten 25 lengths.

Halo's Image, seemed to be running a gigantic race...but than suddenly bolted the turn and totally took himself out of the race...I think he only managed to beat Holy Bull.

In the Florida Derby, Holy Bull and Halo's Image would not hook up in an insane speed duel this time....as Holy Bull would ride an uncontested early lead to an emphatic victory.

Meanwhile, Halo's Image missed 2nd by a nose in the 14 horse field. He was nosed out by Ride the Rails...who, is probably most famously known as the sire of the incredibly talented Candy Ride. Earlier in that GP meeting, Ride the Rails upset 1/10 favorite Dehere in his Breeders Cup Juvie comeback.
