Name the horse that was 2nd to Gentlemen in his turf alw win that started the nine race run.

For a hint - he was owned by Gary Tanaka and won stakes in 3 of his next 4 starts - two of which at the Grade 2 level.

Great match-up of Gentlemen VS Alphabet Soup...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwrjjH6G7Ps


Alphabet Soup won the Breeders Cup Classic in his prior start - and ran extremely good 2nd to Gentelmen in what was his final start.



Gentlemen's first meeting with Skip Away.

Wow, it's probably dating myself to say that I never even heard of that horse.

He wasn't that memorable ... but he had a pretty cool sounding name.

Kotashaan's start in the Eddie Read, in the race prior to the one you linked to, was one of the most eye popping performances I can remember.

The way he looped around the field was amazing. I think that's what Kent Duhdumbo was trying to do again which resulted in this loss.

I guess he couldn't tell the difference between a 112 and 114 type pace.
