I would guess there might be a Pletcher horse or two that fit your criteria. Don't recall if Bandini's allowance win was one-turn or not. I suppose Sun King was considered an accomplished horse by the time of his allowance comeback at GP. What about Devil Dealer or whatever that horse's name was that ended up in the Arkansas Derby last year?

Deadly Dealer. . . I have some recollection of him returning recently somewhere and winning but I could be wrong. And I think his win at GP was in an MSW over Sahara Heat (I might be mixing up two races from that day). . .

Drugs - I liked the write up and agree with you that Big Brown is probably the most talented horse in the race and his performances were legit. But, is he THAT much more talented than some of the others so that he can overcome that huge post disadvantage? Not with my money @ 3-1 or lower.

Not with mine either.

But yeah, I'd still say he's the most likely winner.

Bandini got an 86 Beyer at 7f's in his GP return race.

Was stretched out to 9f's at GP in his next start and won by 9 lengths at even money with a 90 Beyer.

Luxemburg won his return going 6.5 at GP with a 91 Beyer. He won next out by 4 at AQU at 4/5 before losing the withers to Bernardini.

You are right about Deadly Dealer - he won big at 7.5f and than bombed behind Curlin next out in the Ark Derby.
