How about Speightstown who only missed the board twice in his career, first in his debut, and 2nd going two turns in the Gotham. Beat BC Classic Champion Volponi in a 7F sprint off of a nearly 2 year layoff, ended up getting laid up again later that year for almost another year and then came back as good as can be in 04.

Speightstown took a while to get good, but from 3/27/04-10/30/04 he was a beast....

5/6 with one third. The third came against a very good Frankel horse and Stown had some trouble at the start. Beyers of 106,112,115,116,117 and even a 102 in that bad break third. My problem with him is Pretty Wild, Cat Genius, Kela, Clock Stopper and McCanns Mojve are the horses he was beating up on.
