If you can see some of his Santa Anita races, you'll see some of the most breathtaking moves a horse can make.

I was bummed when he was made part of the mutual field coming off something like a 13th place finish in the Vosburgh (an obvious throwout) in the '95 Sprint. Thought I'd get 30-1. Instead he only went off at 8-1.

Moot point, though. He ran 3rd to Desert Stormer, also part of the mutual field.

Actually, I guess I should be thankful he was part of the mutual field.

Guess who was last in the Sprint that year? Hint: It wasn't Royal Heroine...
