Bag
Bro Lo
Surf Cat
There was another insanely fast Southern Cal sprinter from a few years ago. I can't remember his name for the life of me though or who trained him.

Since he never ran a lick, he's not on this list. What did he ever show to give a hit of stardom?

One could say the same thing about Bag.

Bag broke his maiden in 1:08 and change in a runaway. Did TGM ever break his maiden? Bag looked like he could be any kind after that race.

It wasn't him. I want to say it started with an I or an R. Insanely fast but I don't think he ever won a stakes race. He'd show up in an allowance every six months or so then be out again.

So now all we need is a flashy maiden win? Gonna be a long thread.

His Norfolk and BC Juvenile efforts kinda narrowed down what kind he was going to be...

Still a blank but thank you guys for trying.

He was within the last four years and he only sprinted. He'd show up, run a couple of really fast allowances and then be on the sidelines again. Maybe Sadler trained him.

Magical Mile, he was a freak of freaks. At least in those two two year old races.

There is one famous member of this board (along with his sidekick bruce) that wants to nominate a horse named High Limit.
