![]() One of the most valiant sprint performances by a filly I ever witnessed was Xtra Heat in the Test Stakes on July 28th 2001
She got into a breakaway 3-way speed duel with Harmony Lodge and Secret Liaison at 7 furlongs at Saratoga ... had the race been 6.5f (you get a ton of run-up at that distance) the first quarter would have been 20 and change. Notice how Xtra Heat's two pace rivals faired. * Xtra Heat ![]() * Harmony Lodge's Saratoga Form (21 Beyer) ![]() * Secret Liason (-0 Beyer) ![]() Future BC Sprint winner Orientate ran a 22 2/5 first quarter in a sharp wire-to-wire win at 6f that same day. |

![]() His 1984 Super Derby was excellent. Shoemaker let him open a clear lead through fast fractions and he got nailed by Gate Dancer at the end. It was double digit lengths back to Haskell winner Big Pistol in 3rd.
