It was Queena and I screwed up her dam but was close, her dam was named Too Chic.
I loved Queena!!!
If I recall right she wasn't Phipps' horse, she was Emory Alexander's horse with those purplish silks.

Those two answers won me a Saratoga hat from TVG, they won the same race, can't recall which one but I was the first person to get it right

The Dam is Too Chic so that sounds like the one. Good call.

Hollycombe did not start until 5 years old. Ran 1:09 for six furlongs the first time out. (I guess they coun't catch him until he turned five and slowed down. ) He subsequently won the 1999 Del Mar Breeder's Cup Handicap(Grade 2) and was second by a neck to Kona Gold in the Grade 2 2001 Potrero Grande Breeders' Cup Handicap.

I think Pleasantly Perfect was 4 when he made his first start , he went on to win the Dubai World Cup and Breeders Cup along with some other graded stakes.

He made one start in May of his 3yo season and was eased before returning at 4 so technically the first race he finished was at 4.

The recently retired Alumni Hall was a decent G3 type who didn't start until 4. Not exactly a world beater but he did win a couple graded stakes.

That was the Howard/Farish horse I was referring to who"s name I couldn't remember. He actually debuted at 5.

LOL its just funny the way that sounds. Should have seen Mandellas face after he failed to finish in that first out , he was all "Crap they paid X amount of dollars for this horse on my suggestion "

I don't think Benchmark made his first start until he was 4 years old.
