And Justin you must not be too old because Azeri, while a good horse, was not in the same class as many of the good filliy and mares of the 80's like Lady's Secret, Winning Colors, Personal Ensign, Go for Wand, Bayakoa.....
I'm 31, for the record. I never saw any of the above in person. Nor was I a fan of the sport then.
