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.

There is one famous member of this board (along with his sidekick bruce) that wants to nominate a horse named High Limit.

How about two runaway winners of the Illinois Derby.....
Greeley's Galaxy and Sweetnorthernsaint. I also don't remember much happening with Imperialism after his good third in the slop in the Derby. And I hate to say it, because he was one of my favorites, but Officer might have to be thrown into this mix. It's hard to call a horse a failure that starts 9 times with 6 wins, a second, and a third, and over 800K in earnings. But given what he looked like in his wins, that he didn't train on was truly a disappointment. |

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. |
