I know who broke their maidens at Saratoga. I thought Regal Ransom was maybe the most impressive of all of them. Yes, beating Brave Victory, at 7F in his debut when Brave Victory had the benefit of a race, was very impressive in my opinion.

The Norfolk was run on the turf. I can't help that people bet a dirt horse to favoritism in that race.....just as I can't help that he was foolishly shipped across the country for that race.

I did use the word " may " in my post.
