Here's another 3rd place BC Classic finisher ...

Dramatic Gold. I think he came back from 3 cannon bone fractures.

Yep - but I think all of the fractures came later on. He started at 2 and went several years without missing much time. He was a pretty good horse who just happened to run a lot more 2nd's than wins.

One was after that Big Cap at age 4. He almost made it to the Derby, having won the race that became the Sham, and ended up winning the Swaps and running 3rd at 3 in the Pacific Classic.

I think one start after that 4th to Dare And Go in the '96 Pacific Classic, he wired stablemate Alphabet Soup (who later won the BC Classic) in the Del Mar BC. The latter was coming off that awesome victory over Lit De Justice at 7f.

Yeah but think about how many folks Terry Finley has gotten to join West Point because of what a superstar Seattle Fitz was (or Awesome Gem is for that matter).

Keeping with the theme.

He was always spectacular going 10fs at Santa Anita ... and always a good underneath horse everywhere else ....



Name him.

I think his entrymate was the more fancied of the two in his first Big Cap.

Name him.

Who won that restricted Windy Sands that proved to be his final start?

Another Godolphin masterpiece.
