I was there that day. What a horse he was.
I can still remember when he showed up in the Champagne. Those were the days before speed figures were prevalent, and he showed up off that insane win at Atlantic City in the World's Playground, but was meeting General Assembly. I was shocked when he paid as little as 2:1, but in retrospect, I bet he had overwhelming Sheet numbers.
