I presume your question is a serious one, on this list I would go with Cigar. His losing Classic was far better than Skip Away's if you want to use these 2 as examples. But then again if this question is a trap horses like Ghostzapper and Candy Ride raced so sporadically they were not often in positions to run a bad race. Ghostzapper won 9 races in 4 years of racing, it's hard to have a bad day when you race this infrequently. Comments?

what about a Cigar on the turf? wouldnt that really be his worst race?


He could finish last!

Pretty sure Skip Away had some clunkers early on in his 3yo season. I do not believe he finished well in the Derby.


Bernardini's worst race might win it.. though I do not know if he's on the list because I cant see the list.

I assumed we were talking about dirt, but yes Cigar was very mediocre on turf, just because I like you, if you haven't seen it there is a feature video on Bloodhorse on Cigar last I checked, it chronicles his racing career and life after racing. Bailey, Mott, and M Paulson all look back. I think you would enjoy it.

thats cool.. I'll check it out.

Started following racing in 96 so Cigar was the first "superstar" in my racing career.
