Wraps come on....2 yr layoff ensues.

Correct.

Go For Gin was 2nd in that Wood that year ... He took the KY Derby next out. First Derby I ever attended.

A layoff in '02 seems like a standard spacing between races for stakes horses these days :zz:

And my biggest Derby score.

It was yet another against the bias trip in a row for Go for Gin who chased Holy Bull on a big inside speedway in the Florida Derby and then same deal versus Irgun in that Wood.

Obviously Irgun, but I didn't remember him in the Gotham.

Last one ....

One of the best NY Bred 2yo Turfers ever .... Name him ...

Wow ... I forgot to block his name ... I'm sharp as a tack.

Him I would have gotten anyway.

He was a freak.

I give PG85 a 30% chance to still get it wrong.

Too easy, even without the free pass.

That horse is pretty much synonymous with 'great turf nybreds'.

There is a cool built in tool in Windows 7 that makes posting these trivia challenges super simple.

Incurable Optimist could have been scary good. I think he blew a suspensory.

Yep. Had I not known what I was watching, I'd have guessed grade 1 older male when he was two.

No race videos of him on YouTube ... only this super creepy stallion tribute video ...

Here's another one:
What stakes-winning horse named after a famous movie character did Incurable Optimist sire?

Optimer?

Bingo!

Anyone name this disappeared closely related horse to Indian Charlie?

He was actually a literary character....unless you only know Laurence Olivier from the Polaroid commercials.
