Ok, now I get it. You are absolutely correct. I had to look through some scattered papers on my desk but I found the memo telling me that Calder, Gulfstream, Aqueduct, Saratoga, Belmont, and Churchill had all been relocated to Northern Cal. My mistake.

Freddy,

I honestly don't know how you discredit what LITF did as a 3 yr old. He isn't an all time great, but that was a tremendous season. He's certainly not the first horse to run a clunker in the BC (especially a sprinter). He pretty much ran the best 3 yr old sprint races you can run and won them all...all over the country.

He was the first horse to run a clunker with cancer wrapped around his spine

Don't remember if Manila was a 3yo in 1986 or 1987. Though grass, he had a great 3 yo year.

1986.....or he belongs on any and every list.

I read the other day he's nominated for the HoF. Hard to believe he's not already in. He beat a real good field in the BC Turf back when that was the race they all wanted to win.
