Manndar never even raced at age 2. Chester House didn't run in America until the BC Classic. King Cugat was beaten in both of his Graded Stakes tries on turf at age 2.
For every Singletary, Artie Schiller, Paradise Creek etc .. there's a lot of forgotten ones .. a few from the 90's that I had saved on my comp... American Day: Crypic Rascal: Promontory Gold: (dam was Possibly Perfect) Swamp: |

Correct on Manndar . In general your point that good turf horses peak later in their careers seems vaild .

Wow, I forgot all about Cryptic Rascal. He looked like the next coming of Lure early on.

American Day's (half to Best Pal) turf msw was one of the most awesome maiden wins I've ever seen.
It really was a thing of beauty, seeing him win that day. The two most recent that I would rate in the same ballpark would be Barbaro's and Indian Charlie's. The latter two however, were debut performances. |

Didn't Billy Badgett train him?

Whatever happened to Promontory Gold?
I have seen no progeny from him. |

His maiden breaker went in the same time, on the same course, with the same varient as our debut. I'm still trying to figure out how his Beyer was 6 pts higher? WM is a lovely filly. |

I wish you extremely well with Dual Citizenship....but he has never run as well as the winner.

PotN wasn't even under consideration. He was 1-for-2 on the turf - a 4th to Ninth Client and a one length win over Lime Rickey in a MSW ... both races with figures in the 70's. Hardly Incurable Optimist esque. |

Speaking of impressive debuts on grass.
affirmatif's was as good as it gets. (As a 3yo) Look at what a slug he's turned out to be. |

But, and thankfully, people keep betting him.
