No Go For Wand or Bayakoa but we get Silverbulletday and Paseana...OK
If this was Major League Baseball that would be the worst trade of all time...

But mid-80s going forward what compares to a horse that was as fast as superstar sprinters Very Subtle and Safely Kept in the Test and only 9 days later as fast as Easy Goer was in the Travers when winning the Alabama? And less than 2 months after that she was nearly as fast as Secretariat was in the Marlboro Cup when winning the Beldame. Setting or pressing the pace in all 3 of those as well.

His 1980 year was about as good a year as you could have, no?

Sadly, the fantasy was ruined a bit when I found out that Spectacular Bid was actually entered in the Jockey Club Gold Cup that year, too. But he was nursing a sore suspensory and for some inexplicable reason, Buddy Delp was actually contemplating running him, standing him in ice all morning long on race day. Mercifully he called it off at the 11th hour, but what a disaster that could have proved to be if he tried to run (especially since he was always suspect at 12 furlongs).
