Belmont: Ghostzapper. 5-for-5 at Belmont with a trio of awesome Grade 1 wins at 6.5fs, 8fs, and 9fs. Also a huge Grade 2 True North win with a 1:20.42 clocking and an alw win that rates as perhaps the most memorable closing kick alw win of the decade by any horse.
DEL MAR: Skimming. 4-for-4 at Del Mar with 2 Pacific Classic wins and a pair of awesome big figure wins in the San Diego.
Keeneland: Midway Road was 4-for-4 including a 123 Beyer performance. Take Charge Lady was 5-for-5 with 4 major stakes wins.
Turfway: Perfect Drift swept the major 3yo races and upset Congaree in the Kentucky Cup Classic over the track.
Tampa Bay Downs: Above The Wind. From Jan of 2000 to Jan of 2006 he won 8 out of 9 starts in Tampa dirt sprints. Including 3 runnings of the Pelican Stakes at odds of 65/1, 7/1, and 5/1.
Xtra Heat already has a race named after her at AQU -- but she was 4-for-4 with Beyers of 117 and 120 at Delaware Park and 7-for-8 with six stakes wins at LRL. Only defeat was a 3rd against Gr 1 males in the De Francis Dash.
Mountaineer: Fabulous Strike. 3-for-3 .. all blowout stakes wins with Beyers of 115, 119, and 117.
Calder: Best of the Rest won 13 races at Calder ... 10 of which were stakes races .. and 3 different times in his career he ran Beyers of 111 or better going 8.5 at CRC.
Revved Up won the 150K Heath Turf Cup 3 years in a row at CRC at ages 7, 8, and 9 .. each time giving weight to pretty respectable horses like Silver Tree, Magic Mecke, and Soldier's Dancer.
