The best days of my childhood were spent leaning on the rail at Ellis Park rooting for him to beat his nemesis Vodika Collins  He had a very productive career, even running in the 1981 Ky Derby. He went to stud in Canada and the last i could find was that he was at Shannandoe Farm. I sent them a letter asking for information but i didn't get any response. If i could get my hands on a picture of him in the winner's circle it would be a treasured posession to be sure. If anyone knows of a source for information on past runners please let me know.
Thanks! |

You've likely found this link already, but if not it will give you career earnings, record, significant races and lineage. Tip, click the little "i" next to the name to open a window. He won the Stephen Foster at age 4 and age 6.

It's been awhile since I've surfed there, but I think you get five searches per session for free, so search prudently....
Dig around and you can find his offspring. A bunch of them. The last listed is 2002 when your guy would have been 24.
