I actually think if someone asked Paul McGee about the worst claim he ever made in his life .. I think he'd have to say Cozar. He took him for 50K .. and just two months and two races later dropped him in for 5K and the horse was way up the track for a nickle.

He was a "teaser" for someone, I'm not sure who. Perhaps his breeder E.P. Taylor so i would guess when he finally got his chance he likely had pretty decent mares. It's been so long ago I don't remember the details but there was a gelding he sired in '83 named Miracle Wood who won stakes in Maryland.

Miracle Wood was evidently a "mistake" so to speak and Baederwood got a full book 2 years after his son became successful on the track. Someone out there may have more precise details but that's the way I remember it.
