Yeah - Borel did ride him in the maiden claiming race he lost... but it was McKee in the other 4.

The following horse was 6-for-6 over a certain racetracks dirt course. Below are only his races at that track.

Correct.

I thought that one might be pretty tough - because of how fragile he was.

He had 3 different knee surgeries and two different stomach operations for colic during his racing career.

When he won his debut - Iggy Puglisi rode him and he won at 38/1 odds while racing very erratic. He was off 9.5 months when he won his 2nd of those six HP races - it was a very impressive race as he dueled head to head through 21 2/5 and 44 flat fractions and drew off while still outfinishing closers.

When he won the Grade 3 stake with the 122 Beyer in his 3rd HP race - he didn't race again for more than 14 months after that.

Very underated talent.

I can't claim to have known that off the top of my head - I was like 12 or 13 when he was running and had been to the track exactly one time at that point. . .

The first horse that came to mind was simply majestic at GGF, but no, clearly that was not it.

I guess I was fooled because he didn't even improve until Pletcher got him.

If I am remembering correctly they continued to race him on the turf after those first five races and only discovered he was a dirt horse by accident when a race he was entered in came off the lawn....and he exploded in the slop to win it easily.

I was going to guess Furthest Land on that one, who had a similar journey in the maiden ranks at TP/Ellis if I remember correctly. "Maker Magic" got that one going. Good trick on the Ashado but the giveaway was she didn't start her career at MTH.

First five starts of career for this future Grade 1 winner....

[The Indomitable DrugS]

[hockey2315]

Way too easy when you see he debuted in a state bred race at RP.
