![]() I think Dinard bowed a tendon prior to the Ky Derby. They never seem to come back as good after that.
He was a monster though and probably would have won the derby that year, if not more. I'll always remember Paulson being excited after his first big win, saying that he was all pumped up about having a son of his prize stallion, Strawberry Road, being able to stand stud. That's when he found out Dinard had been gelded already. |

Doug's premise is more horses that kept running and just never capitalized on their previously displayed talent. The injury aspect in this discussion is paramount because it's the fastest horses, and horses who stress themselves with enormous effort, that typically get hurt...

He was wide chasing a crazy fast pace in the Derby and was injured. He only ran one more time - in a very difficult spot - going 10fs off of layoff and injury and he ran a good 2nd in the Travers and that was it. He also didn't bring a heavy repute into the Wood Memorial. |
