If he had been sound and his connections tolerant of his weight assignmenst, perhaps Spectacular Bid would have taken down the Fall Championship series at Belmont before Slew o'Gold did in 1984, giving the series some momentum and stability.
A 3-race series at a single meet to decide championship honors is a much better concept than a single big day of racing where a single race can trump anything done during the rest of the year. |
Thank you
