Lure
Lure got very unlucky that he raced in a time where there were superb turf horses. Imagine if Lure ran against the likes of Tin Man, EC and Cacique? LOL! Paradise Creek was my favorite out of that group Lure ran against. Star of Cozzene was also very great. |

Best filly or mare to never win an Eclipse is a hard one.
Three viable options I can think of. * Bold 'N Determined (8-for-8 lifetime in two turn dirt route races. 7-for-7 lifetime in Grade 1 races run on fast dirt tracks. 12-11-1-0 lifetime in all dirt route races. Only filly or mare to ever beat Kentucky Derby winning filly Genuine Risk on a fast track. Was passed in the stretch, but came again to beat GR by a nose in the Grade 1 Maskette at one-mile. or * Melair (who was the most talented of any fillies to never win an Eclipse) or * Sharp Cat (who was far more accomplished than lightly raced Melair, and probably more brilliant than the incredibly gritty Bold 'N Determined. |
