Strange that you say that right now.
I had no idea that that race had ever happened, until I saw Don Tiger entered at Hawthorne yesterday in a 1 9/16 turf race.
He was the horse who ran a game second, beaten just a smidge under 41 lengths that day as the favorite.
I couldn't get over how odd the running line looked -- having run second and showing a 40+ beaten lengths.
