Come to think of it---an actual case could be made that Candy Ride was as impressive through the first six races of his career.
Running a mile in a world record 1:31 flat while winning a 15 runner Group 1 on turf by a city block. Running a mile and a quarter in 1:59 flat while winning a Grade 1 on dirt. And getting a two-turn mile in 1:35 2/5ths in a workout.
The horse he beat in his only American turf start came back to win a Grade 1 race, by five lengths, in course record time at Del Mar next out.
He seems like a 1st ballot lock with Discreet Cat in your "lightly raced paper-champion" Hall of Fame.
