Yes, he did that Lexington/Derby thing well. Also, ran 2nd with Proud Citizen in War Emblem's Derby after winning the Lexington. I don't recall the Lexington having much relevance lately. To be fair about him sitting with Cat Thief's owner, if that really happened or is just an apocryphal memory on my part, in those days, he was like Bob Baffert or Chad Brown of today. He had an embarrassment of riches in horses and probably had to spread himself a bit thin among the owners of multiple entries.
