Mt. Livermore got his fair shair of turf runners, too, so the point was the same. But yes, I was dead wrong there.
I would take issue with Shoemaker Mile effort. He chased the ridiculous Special Ring (who freaked in several races out west during that time frame) and ran a better than it looked 4th, just missing a placing. He concentrated on sprinting thereafter.
