He missed the break and made up untold buckets of ground to finish IIRC in a blanket finish (he only got 4th). Next out he crushed before winning a quick edition of the Hollywood Prevue.

Best Pal and two turns derailed his move for the top of the division in CA, but he was good enough to make the Preakness later on, and had a 3yo year to rival the great Lost Code.

Can you dig up his PPs?

That was some Ky Derby - the Wood winner (Cahill Road) the Arkansas Derby winner (Olympio) and the Santa Anita Derby winner (Dinard) all missed the race.

I'll post the three of them later if I have them.
