Best Pal, Olympio, and Lite Light were all in that race.

I think he updated it around Seek Gold time. New technology...

I think it's Sutra, hands down. I seriously have never witnessed a worse race in person, ever. The field was awful and they ran WORSE than awful.

The reason I used "colt" in my topic was because I actually assumed everyone would go with Sutra if I just said horse. Yes, Sutra was awful.

God bless his soul, but what about A Huevo? He won the DeFrancis IIRC.

A Huevo could run - he won a Grade 1 stake sprinting (I believe with a good figure) late in the season at age 7, and had only had single digit starts in his career prior.

I could see him being on the list of most fragile Grade 1 winners ever - but he could flat out run.

Is that Jilbab?

If so, I don't think she was all that bad. I'd have to see her PP's again though.

Here is A Huevo's form ... note the monster layoff.



Has there ever been another horse to win a Grade 1 race in career start #7, in November of their 7-year-old season?

And keeping with the 7's - this guy ran 7th at Mountaineer two starts before his Grade 1 win.

He either won by clear margins - or was trounced in all his races.

Yeah, thats her...

Other than a win in the CCA Oaks over immortals such as Tarnished Lady and Shop Til You Drop, she didnt do much...

While below par for a Grade 1 winner - she was pretty ok now that I dug up her PP's.

If they had more 12f races, she's have been OK. A huevo was very fast when he was right and on his game.
