No--I am trying to find the answer. A man at our local thoroughbred meeting asked this question and none of us knew.

Tobasco Cat was 2nd in the SA Derby, won the Grade III Real Derby and won the Grade II San Rafael.

At first I thought this couldnt be right, but the more I research this the more i am beginning to think there really is only 1--which is hard to believe.

The answer is a funny one....Good Reward.

Hollywood Derby and Manhattan.

Wow---great job BTW. There is no way I would have ever of guessed him. Now that is a pretty good trivia question.

I actually bet him in the Hollywood Derby. That was a race that the jockey, Bailey, had a LOT to do with winning. I guess you could say the same for the Manhattan.

Funny that Heavenly Prize, and Storm Cat, would win Grade 1s on the turf.

I had him in both races as well. Lost a small fortune on him in the Fayette Stakes.

Did Heavenly Prize or Storm Cat ever race on grass?

I believe Bailey rode the rail the entire way around, while Brice "I want to be in Mike Smith land" Blanc had Relaxed wide for much of the race. Now, I am not blaming Blanc, because I don't want to upset BBB, but Bailey won that race.

I bet Saint Stephen....he sucked.

Relaxed Gesture ( and that idiot Bris Blanc ) was tons the best.

Out of 1020 foals he has had only one son win a Grade I in New York and Cali. That is sort of unreal.
