Strike the Gold '91
Real Quiet '98
Charismatic '99
Giacomo '05
Because of a reclassification of Strike the Gold's sire Alydar, his dosage would now not fit this profile. I believe his dosage is now considered to be in the 2.5 to 2.6 area. As someone stated above dosage is obviously becoming less prevalent considering that the horses that have bucked the trend have all been recent.
