That's right, but she did run 2nd in '95.

Didn't What a Summer win it multiple times?

Almost made that a part 2 to the question. Both What A Summer and Ta Wee won consecutive runnings.

Good call. For some reason, 1976 was omitted from the list I read.

I feel like when Honorable Miss won it she beat No Bias....who had won the day before.

In fact, when they printed the old program ( the night before ), they omitted No Bias, assuming he would scratch. When he didn't, they made him part of the field.

No Bias was 2nd, so you're probably right.

No. I remember him being touted early because of his pedigree and only later made any good on the promise with his big Arlington Classic score (might have been a track record).

Of course, he didn't last much longer afterward.
