Great stuff, Doug! And thanks for the quote, Steve -- I did not know that.
I have to agree with Dunbar about what a TC and/or BC winning long-careered gelding would do for the sport. What on Earth would the NY Times have to report about him?

Kelso was put in a lot of tough racing situations (in terms of running in so many sprints, turf races, and handicaps where he had to give huge spreads) and his connections did a lot of VERY sporting things (He could have beat Gun Bow 100 times out of 100 had he used a rabbit -- but they wouldn't do it)

he was an amazing horse. and they could run him short, and then long, or vice versa, and he'd never miss a beat. incredibly versatile, talented horse-very special.
