Bonus points if you can name that one.

Would have to be Smuggler. Came right to my mind.

Good guess, but that was more than 3 years ago. This one was last year at the Spa.

Banker's Buy....Gotham day at Aqueduct.

How could I forget.....I bet the second finisher at 15:1.

I was thinking of Persistently, who won at 4-1 at Saratoga. Maybe my memory has gone bad. If someone with Formulator can confirm she won first out?

She didn't...she ran 3rd at 25-1 in her debut and then came back to win a couple of weeks later.

He also won with a turf horse called Tourism but Banker's Buy is the real answer.

He's won with three turf firsters in NY, all last year, but only the one on the dirt.

Cool, thanks. I remember that Miss Ocean City race, too. She turned out to be very disappointing after an excellent debut.

Miss Ocean City is the only Mineshaft I recall winning first out, ever. I'm sure there are others, but I've not seen 'em. She's turn out to be a dud. Leon Blusewicz (sp?) has her now. She was up the track in a small stake in the last week or two.

I thought she scratched.

There have been a total of three debut winners for Mineshaft in three years. In addition to Miss Ocean City there have been two at Woodbine, Shafted last year and Miner's Claim in 2007.

Mineshaft's top earner thus far- the one and only Casino Drive.
