Snaafi Dancer
In 1983(I believe) Sheikh Mohammed paid 10.2 for the yearling Snaafi Dancer. He made 0 starts and had 0 fertility. Talk about a disappointment. More currently it's disappointing to me to see Declan's Moon in an allowance at Golden Gate.

At the time, the world's most expensive yearling...

Galloping Grocer
Bag (won his first start in 1:08 4/5 I believe) Arazi (most mismanaged horse ever; would have gone down as an all-time great) Dehere, Event of the Year, King Glorious, Java Gold, Dinard (all horses that I felt would have been Derby winners if not forced to miss the race do to injury or illness)

Dehere went on to be a very good sire down here so im not suprised he was in the mix for the derby.

Tell me the truth...
Can you ever ever ever see the name of that horse and not think of King? I'll be on my deathbed and someone will say Galloping Grocer and... Oh wait that won't happen so never mind.

My biggest disappointment was Secretariat not running at four, understand the reasons but...oh, what might have been!

Candy Ride retiring after only one race in America. That was one monster performance in PC at Del Mar. Passed Megdalio D'Oro as if he was standing still.

Disappointing that Cigar was sterile.
I was terribly disappointed that Point Given was retired with a minor injury instead of giving it a go at 4. There are a lot of them that fall into that category, but I really thought PG was getting better as he matured.
