I'll never forget his effort in the 1988 Travers. Beaten a nose despite Pat Day putting up one of the silliest rides ever.

I was at Hialeah that day. I remember being upset cause I couldn't be at Santa Anita but I wasn't upset anymore after seeing that performance. He was an underrated horse but put up some big races. In addition to that Travers was the narrow Haskell loss to that same Forty Niner. In fact, both of them are underrated horses. He had a great run in the Classic also but I felt that Alysheba was never in danger, pretty much the same way I felt Sunday Silence was never in danger the next year. McCarron was a master.
