Correct.

He holds the title of both BC Classic winner, Dubai World Cup winner, and Steve Crist's #1 rated horse of the decade to not win an eclipse award.

Has there been a horse the last 2 decades that had a better 3 year span than Skip Away?
What an awesome horse.

Does anyone remember why he didn't run in the '96 Breeders Cup, after his huge win in the JCGC?

Yes...he wasn't nominated.

WOW.... you think they would have put up the 5% after running a 115 Beyer in the JCGC.

I think they changed the rules after that year where one supplemental fee was good for life....which is why he ran in subsequent years.

Will we ever see a horse put together a 15-month stretch of races like Skip Away ran from May of '97 to September of '98? The quality and quantity of those performances are stunning by today's standards.
