Yep - talk about some sensational 3yo's.

All five of them would murder Lookin At Lucky.

Even though he had a poor trip when 6th in the BC Classic - it's not hard to figure out that 6/5 favorite Fu Peg - and his rumored $70 million sale price - was the overrated one of that stellar group.

The perfect trip 5th place finisher was voted champion older male that year.



Name him.

Here's a tougher one you might get ... she looked like another Melair until she got hurt.




Name her.

It might be a Dick Mandella filly that was sired by Memo. He had a couple good Memos around that time.

La Femmine or something like that was either her name or that of her half-sibling.

Yep. It was La Femmin.

She came back for three pretty good races after the injury - she was 2nd by a length to Dream Supreme in the Humana Distaff at even money in her final start. I think it was a track record - the time for 7fs was 1:20 3/5.

Name her.

As much as I liked this filly, if you'd have ever seen Melair run, you'd never make that comparison.

I'm sure Melair was a machine - but still, you don't see 21 and change first quarters in two-turn route races that often.

She beat some useful horses that day when she ran the 115 Beyer and got hurt.

The horse who was 2nd came back and had 5 wins and 4 seconds in her next 9 starts - including a Grade 2 win and a Grade 1 second.




The 3rd place finisher was beaten by 25 lengths - and she came back to win her next start by 7 lengths at 7/1 odds - followed by a 2nd by a nose in a small stake at 6/1.



The 4th place finisher was beaten 31 lengths and she's a solid 70's Beyer kind of horse ...




The 5th place finisher couldn't handle the hot pace and was eased - but came back to win a Graded Stake on the turf.




This La Feminn filly was on the verge of greatness before that injury. She had blinding speed and could carry it atleast a mile. Even her three comeback races the following year where all strong triple digit Beyer efforts. She ran a 105 Beyer in her turf debut before that fast 2nd to Dream Supreme in her final career start.
