Quote:
2000 Cup is one of my best days ever at the track, and the Sprint was a big part of it. I loved her in there and used her and Kona Gold with Bet On Sunshine, More Than Ready and Caller One, which ended up the top five finishers. If she gets her nose in front of Kona Gold, I can only imagine what the exotics would have paid with her at 31-1. As it was, the tri was $2k and super $5k. I've written and talked about this many times, but everything went right for me and Bill Mayberry ('Barbecue Bill') that day, except the late races where I liked Lemon Drop Kid in the Classic and John's Call in the Turf. But Bill was friendly with Northeast Bound's trainer Bill Perry, and we caught the Mile score with him (40-1?) and War Chant. Plus... Bill somehow found Spain (!) in the Distaff opener (55-1) and I noticed Carressing was way overlaid in the Juvy Filly (47-1). Finally, I keyed Point Given up and down in the Juvenile. It was an amazing day, but the Sprint hit was the one I particularly recall because of Honest Lady.
