3rd career start in Arkansas Derby, Kentucky Derby, Belmont, Haskell, Travers, Jockey Club Gold Cup, Breeders Cup Classic.

Speaking of Tim Ice, I wonder if he'll try the same stunt this year with the good looking Rock Hard Ten colt, New Madrid, who broke his maiden in his 3rd start (after a runner up try and a "gimme" effort in a sprint for D. Wayne Lukas) on Saturday at Oaklawn.
He's out of a 1/2 sister to Cigar IIRC and owned by Shortleaf Stable (formerly Loblloly of Pine Bluff, Priarie Bayou fame).
