His debut was pretty good, but against a bunch of plugs. His 2nd start, in the Pennsylvania Nursery, was an absolute tour de force. He broke slow, rushed up, and went 1:08 3/5 and 1:21 4/5, which is unheard of at Phila Park and even more amazing for a green 2yo. I remember I was in AC at the Borgata and was going nuts that he was going to win the Derby, 6 months later on Derby Day I was back in the same place and the old guys who razzed me were like "you're the guy who was going crazy for this horse back at Philly Park".
I can't find the video anywhere but if anybody has it I haven't seen it in a long time.

Not the most impressive, but I was searching Kiri's youtube videos and no one calls them better than Durkin when he's on...

Kiris - Do you have Formal Gold's maiden?

Curlin.

Of course others had already posted
right after it happened and I of course
was late. A 7f beatdown. He was so
goofy on the turn but so good.

There was a horse like 4-6 years ago who was really impressive at Saratoga I just cant think if the name. For some reason Zarkava comes to mind but I know its not him.... I give up.
Zavata? IB was impressive.
