Still a blank but thank you guys for trying.

He was within the last four years and he only sprinted. He'd show up, run a couple of really fast allowances and then be on the sidelines again. Maybe Sadler trained him.

Remember how hyped Dynever was coming out of GP as a 3yo?

That MoFo may go down as one of the great hangers of all-time. 0-for-9 lifetime record in Gr 1 and Gr 2 stakes.

Did manage a 2nd in the Dubai World Cup and a 3rd in the Breeders Cup Classic ... but some of his defeats in lesser races were the stuff of legend.

Same sire as Perfect Drift ... but PD was like a lion hearted finisher compared to him I think.
