another horse from that 1987 crop that WOULD have been a monster was the danzig colt named qualify. he is the horse that ran 2nd in that crops bc juvie race and he had tremendous upside. he was much like another horse that ran back then, gate dancer. he was pretty goofy, but i thought he was starting to put it together and was turning into a real nice horse. he died unfortunately before he ever ran as a 3yo.

i believe gulch and gone west were both in that crop as well. that was an amazing group.

I'm glad Gone West was just mentioned as I was about to chastise KG for leaving him out. He lost close ones in the Wood to Gulch and I also believe he was third in the Whitney behond Java Gold and Gulch but I'm not certain about that.

And, KG, I completely agree about Medaglia D'Oro and this mistaken " can't get 10F " rap. His second in the BC was arguably his best race ever when you take the pace into account. He was a very good horse going 10F and it is far from clear he was any better at 9F.
