The only time Artie Schiller beat Timo in a race of consequence he was able to walk on the lead through a 1/2 mile in :52 seconds in the Hill Prince at 9 furlongs.

Even Solar Splendor never received such a hand-out, and that horse was running 11-12 furlongs...

It couldn't have been easy to get a segue into Solar Splendor.

It wasn't. And I thought about dragging it all the way to the 1990 Travers so I could open the door to discuss the great Le Prince...

...but I didn't want to derail this thread any longer.
