A name popped up in my head that no one has mentioned yet, Dollar Bill...not sure about the projected greatness part and he did retire a millionaire, but he was certainly a dissapointment as a racehorse.

Bag
Bro Lo
Surf Cat
There was another insanely fast Southern Cal sprinter from a few years ago. I can't remember his name for the life of me though or who trained him.

Since he never ran a lick, he's not on this list. What did he ever show to give a hit of stardom?

Bag broke his maiden in 1:08 and change in a runaway. Did TGM ever break his maiden? Bag looked like he could be any kind after that race.

It wasn't him. I want to say it started with an I or an R. Insanely fast but I don't think he ever won a stakes race. He'd show up in an allowance every six months or so then be out again.
