Similarly, Formal Gold was a ho-hum 5th in the Big Cap (to Siphon, Sandpit, and Gentlemen) after a big win in the Donn (over Skip Away) before going on to greater glory.
To be fair, RHT was unbeaten at 4 and never got an opportunity to ship. Can't remember why he had the spring/summer off.
I think he might have shipped to Belmont but came up with a "foot" issue or whatever. Considering the moderate Classic field that year (30-1 Flower Alley was 2nd), it might have been a decent matchup.
