Some past memories of horses who stunk, but not really

[MisterB]

War Emblem (2002 Derby winner) finished sixth in the Risen Star S. (G3) in mid-February.

Charismatic (1999) couldn't win a February claiming race.

Sea Hero (1993) was drilled in his first two starts at three, including a third-place effort behind a filly.

Thunder Gulch (1995) finished up the track in the Blue Grass S. (G2)

Go for Gin (1994) couldn't hit the board in the Florida Derby (G1)

Real Quiet (1998) wound up eighth in the Golden Gate Derby and Unbridled
(1990) was a bad fifth as the 6-5 favorite in the Tropical Park Derby (G2)

So what's this mean

It's only FEB.
