I was at Tampa when Ramsey's eventual multiple Grade 1 stakes placed Talent Search debuted for a 12.5K maiden claiming tag.
Of course - there were no takers that day. I just looked up the dam of General Quarters ... she had to be the all-time worst horse Calumet Farms ever owned.

I would have liked to have seen a match race between Quality Road's dam - carrying the colors of Allen Paulson ... and General Quarter's dam - carrying the colors of Calumet Farms.
It would have been an epic battle between the two worst horses to ever run in those legendery silks.

She would seem to have a big pace advantage - but the chart claims that Ecology had a wide trip in that River Downs turf spanking.

Riding Teator...one of the many low points for Gary Caple at Presque Isle Downs '08.

I'll toss Big Brown's dam Mien into the race. She was another stellar race mare with a 2 race career ... though her racing career lasted only two weeks.
Track: Churchill Downs Surface: Dirt Distance: 10 furlongs Weight: All horses carry 126lbs  Morning Line & Comments: Kobla (4/5) Beaten 30+ lengths in both career starts - but has a serious pace advantage and should be able to cruise on a loose lead. Easily owns fields best dirt Beyer. Mien (7/5) Only horse in field to run a respectable race - but it came on turf. Was barely able to keep contact with the field early on in her lone dirt try and was "distanced" Ecology (3/1) If Kobla stops to an utter walk after six furlongs and Mien can't handle the dirt again - she could grind out an upset.

Were there any decent horses in those two Kobla races?

They used to bet Dickinson like a mofo in Maryland - and I'm sure the field she faced 2nd time out was awful.

Fabulous Strike debuted at Tampa within about four or five days of Talent Search's debut. I was down there for it all.
Them was the good ole days! ... back when they didn't charge you for pepsi refills in the clubhouse dining room at Tampa.
