Where did I say colt?

Of course I meant Heavenly Prize.

I knew it wasn't a dirt male...so I started thinking turf males who had run a big race at age 2.

The horse who beat Heavenly Prize that day retired 3-for-3. She's also a half sibling to the unraced Silvery Swan...who's dropped El Corredor, Silver Tornado, and Roman Ruler. Do you remember who trained her?

I don't even remember her name but I think she wired the field as the 5-2 second choice. Could she have been trained by Happy Alter?

NO way!! She was a grade one winner at age 2.
I also assumed he meant a colt, but if its a filly its not her.

When someone says debut I assume debut means first start ever.

he said "What top 2YO ( and later top 3YO and 4YO ) made its debut on that Florida Derby card?"

Reading comprehension skills will tell you he meant seasonal debut.

After losing the What a Summer, Heavenly Prize would go on to lose the Prioress to what horse? She was named after one of the stars of Laverne and Shirley...

You got the first part right...

Second half of the name is something a director calls for...

Yes but then someone asked him to clarify age I assumed he meant three year old, etc. Whatever.

Especially when I clarify it later in another post.
