Actually the horses above save survivialist really never raced in HUGE purse races. They were hoard knocking lower level and state bred level race horses. Nothing super talented but in this day and age relatively OK. These were ordinary hard trying stakes horses that made most of there coin in 60 to 150k races.

Scrappy T had a decent run in some big races (Preakness, Indiana Derby, etc.).
