He almost beat Thunder Rumble in the Jim Dandy after winning the Met.

Correct.

He was also the sire of the first of many great horses to run in my name. The good old days of 19K purses and 4K claimers - that ran every 3 weeks like clockwork.

This Ohio bred - debuted on the inner-track at AQU on March 4th ... and I believe might have even been the post time favorite in the Ky Derby just two months later.

Name him

Probably Air Forbes Won.

Correct - was the 5/2 favorite in the KY Derby less than 2 months after his debut.

That's amazing. I was in College then and barely remember him but seeing Frank Labocetta's name gave it away.

Another old one.

Not that much as a racehorse - but was a champion sire on multiple occasions and sired two of the better KY Derby winners ever.

Name him.
