Davona Dale was a week off losing the Alabama to It's in the Air ( Veitch just couldn't beat Laz Barrera...though she got revenge in the Ballerina the following year ). I believe Smarten compiled his winning streak shipping around the country for softer spots.

general assembly was my favorite and my pick to win the derby. i wasn't happy when the bid defeated him in the derby, but i came to respect that horse. he was one of the best ever, if not the best.
