Grade 1 Winners Mystery Question

[SentToStud]

No criteria and nothing really in mind. Just don't remember it happening.

The biggest problem, aside from the lack of Grade 1s under 1 1/8th, is that until recently horses actually raced too frequently.

More Than Ready came a pathetic hang job away from doing it in 2000 when he was 4th, I think, in the Haskell and won the King's Bishop.

Personal Flag won the Suburban in 1988.

Great question.....found out some interesting things. General Assembly won the Vosburgh in 1979, over the mighty Dr. Patches, but he at least raced against Spectacular Bid and Coastal in the Marlboro Cup after his Travers Win.

Ghostzapper could have.

Hard Spun almost did it last year.

As I just mentioned, he beat General Assembly and Coastal in the Marlboro Cup. That was, I believe, his first race after the Belmont. He lost the Jockey Club to Affirmed.

[blackthroatedwind]

He did. 13 days before.

You said Grade 1 and in my example, the Deputy Minister was not a Grade 1.

I'm sorry Bigs, didn't at all mean to come off sideways. If Spring at Last can do it, it will be pretty nice to see.
