I had a whole long diatribe identifying the horse amongst 3 Rokeby bays: You'd Be Surprised, Eastern Echo, and England Expects.

Your hint gave it away.

England Expects.

That's correct.. he was a pretty big disappointment after the promise he showed in his first two starts..

I wonder who was a bigger disappointment after winning the Tremont. England Expects or De Niro.

I was going to post something disparaging the Tremont as a race, but then I saw a list of the winners of that race and changed my mind.

At least I won't have to worry about it anymore since its been canceled.

De Niro was definitely a huge disappointment.. At least England Expects actually won several times again after the Tremont, De Niro was just awful..

Here's De Niro's maiden race from 94, it was an exciting debut.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1SmJa_WAbc
