Bret Thomas went on a tear one spring in the 1990s with this pair of Louisiana-breds, one a 3yo and the other a 4yo, winning the New Orleans Handicap, Risen Star, and Arkansas Derby. The older horse became the first Labred to win a million, and he did it the hard way before the dawn of slots-fueled purses. The older horse finished third in a Grade 1 as a 3yo and as a 4yo. The younger horse defeated a Kentucky Derby winner in Hot Springs.

Name them both.

I knew the 4YO but cheated on the second one.

It's Scott's Scoundrel and Zarb's Magic.

Correct. I thought Scott would be the harder one. I will post some more when I get back from the grocery.

This fleet filly won the Fair Grounds Oaks, then was DQed from first in the Fantasy. She went on to run second in the Test to a BC Sprint winner and win the Alabama. She was a Labred, but not an accredited one. I would name the sire, but that would give it away.
