He set a track record as a 3 yo, and 5 as a four year old carrying between 126 and 130 in those 4 yos races. The horse was 24 for 24 from 7/8 to 1 1/4. The only possible knock on him is that he didn't win at 1 1/2. Bid lost the Belmont because of a pin and a pinhead, and the JCGC to a great older horse in Affirmed that
never lost a race once he had the lead. Affirmed lost the Travers, but not the lead.
