SS,

It was the FOY.. It was as great a head-to-head duel as we've seen in recent years. It was the year before they tore up the GP main too, so it was when the surface was still a highway with sand on top. It took June more than a year to recover from the effort, as he made two strong runs versus top company last year in the New Orleans (Badge/Limehouse) and Oaklawn (Grand Reward) equaling and surpassing his Thoro-Graph "0" earned in the Fountain. Footnotes NEVER recovered...

Suave, who was dreadful in the Donn and GPH so far this year, should be very tough here too... He's working up a storm.
