Mecke was also beaten only 3 lengths in the Kentucky Derby.

He certainly would be in the hunt in an all-american top 20... probably a big longshot to make an overall top 20 though. He didn't have the flashiest figures .. and he was from a time when more top horses did.

Da Hoss was beaten in his final 5 dirt tries .. and though he ran fast at Turf Paradice.. that track is like the Bonneville Salt Flats. Still .. he had a couple nice 2nds on dirt and was a super turf miler.

Lure was a little better as both a turf horse and a dirt horse though IMO.
