![]() 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)

![]() 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. ![]() |

![]() No fair, that was gonna be mine.
![]() Just some others to add, watching the breakdown/pull ups of Charismatic and Barbaro followed by the additional tragedies of laminitis and Antley's drug abuse. Also, the campaigns of our two high profile ladies last year. You all know who I mean. I really found it hard to decide which frustrated me more so I'll just say both. Then the 1998 Belmont. A nose, for crying out loud. |

![]() 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.

![]() ^^^^The first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread title.
I am positive Candy Ride ran more than one race in the US. I'm also sure that he won a Graded Stake before the Pacific Classic. I'm too lazy to look it up.... |

![]() My mistake. He did run 3 times and won all three. The PC was his last.
