I have no idea...but Prove Out was like an Allen Jerkens miracle and pretty dangerous on a loose lead. The Woodward was Prove Out's 4th start in September of '73 alone. Can you believe he went off at 9/2 odds in his next start after romping over Secretariat in the slop?
I have two cuts of his form: Mid season 1973 before Allen Jerkens
Catching fire once Jerkens took over his training:
Jerkens also upset Secretariat with Onion in the Whitney - Onion was basically a need-the-lead sprinter.
