In his Bing Crosby win he battled for the lead the whole way and beat defending BC Sprint champion Thirty Slews. He also was 2nd to defending BC Sprint winner Cardmania in the San Carlos.

Like I said to VJ, I thought we were only discussing their champion seasons. If that's the case, Pleasant Tap had a better sprint year than TWN too. He also had a way more rigorous campaign, ran in the BCC and was never out of the exacta, while TWN finished his year out of the trifecta in the HOL Gold Cup.
