How fast was Raise A Native?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I never knew Raise A Native was owned by Harbor View. So, the Wolfson's raced both Affirmed and the sire of Alydar.

Even as late as the mid 60's ... the worktabs on horses were kind of crazy. Look at Northern Dancer's worktab going into the Belmont Stakes.



Both he and his main rival Hill Rise work 4 furlongs on May 31st - and the very next day, they work 1 1/4 miles.



Another odd thing - not only was Hill Rise favored over Northern Dancer in both the Derby and Preakness - but look at the odds spread in the Preakness. Hill Rise was 4/5 and Northern Dancer was 2/1.
