Now thats another great example of a racehorse, and BTW also beat me to mentioning Turkoman. Tell you what, the most incredible race Turkoman ever ran was a losing effort at Saratoga, the 7f race where you never saw a horse in your entire life come down the stretch like he did falling one length short of Groovy, and Groovy was sensational sprinting.
Thsi whole discussion the past few weeks has me realizing how lucky I was to have seen the horses that I have seen, and how little I appreciated them at the time.
Mike,
I saw you mentioned Groovy.
Sad to say, Jose Martin passed away recently. RIP.

Speaking of Groovy, he ran a 133 and a 131 in a couple of his 1987 wins (fastest figs of the past 20 years).
