Yeah, I will never forget his debut. It was a Tuesday or Monday(I remember that because I know Belmont was dark that day) and I was getting beat up playing Calder, FL, Kentucky Downs, and Delaware. There was a grass maiden race at Deleware and in it was a horse by one of my favorite sires(Dynaformer) who was trained by a trainer who I respect and bet a lot, Matz.
He settled off the pace and made one of those crazy turn moves that only great horses make. He was awesome and I bet out on him in the Laurel Futurity. He was the greatest American grass horse I have ever seen.
