The ride by Rick Wilson was one of the worst ever in the Cowdin. Rushed up needlessly into the vicious pace.

Gator Dancer won his next race 22 months later.

The connections thought he was a turf horse ... they were wrong in a big way!! But, he did end up becoming a Grade 1 winner. Name him.

What is the Cowdin renamed or did they cancel it? I have never heard of that race before.

I wish that race was on Youtube. I didn't find it. Rick Wilson was pretty brutal at times.

It was unbelievable. He was sitting in a perfect spot behind the duel and Wilson put him in a drive before the half mile pole.

He still lost by a brutal bob.

Correct.

He holds the title of both BC Classic winner, Dubai World Cup winner, and Steve Crist's #1 rated horse of the decade to not win an eclipse award.

Has there been a horse the last 2 decades that had a better 3 year span than Skip Away?
What an awesome horse.

Does anyone remember why he didn't run in the '96 Breeders Cup, after his huge win in the JCGC?

WOW.... you think they would have put up the 5% after running a 115 Beyer in the JCGC.

I think they changed the rules after that year where one supplemental fee was good for life....which is why he ran in subsequent years.

Was transformed from a nose-bob winner of a nickle claiming race to a horse who gave Cigar a fight while under the care of a highly shady trainer.

Died on the lead at the end. Name him.
