I was just going to post that, I know at least three of those horses have started for a tag since that race.

The best of that crop was not in the field. I should stop though because I am a noted SS hater.

I basically agree with your point, but Circular Quay was a pretty good 2yo (not to mention the key horse for most of my big horizontal and vertical wagers that day at CD )

I was a big fan of his, and was extremely disappointed with his three and four-year-old seasons. If they had kept him around one turn I think he might've turned out to be more than he was.

I always really liked CQ as well. He certainly had one of the most talked about debut races in the history of this board (back in the days of oracle).

I liked him too, and he didn't turn out to be a complete disaster, just not what was expected. At least he found the Fair Grounds quite agreeable.

I remember being at Colonial Downs Handicapping Contest with Randall and watching him (Bashford Manor Stakes maybe?) and we both thought there was no way in hell he was gonna get up to win. Rand turned to me afterwards and immediatly declared him the Hopeful winner.

Yeah his Basford Manor was incredible. I don't think it came back as a very fast figure, but he absolutely exploded in the final strides.
If I remember correctly he looked hopelessly out of it with about a furlong to go and then closed like an absolute beast.
The fact that he had already demonstrated that affinity for the CD track was just one of the many things that made me extremely confident going into the BCJ that year. Oops.

But this was when Todd was at the top of his "game" wasn't it.....All of TP horses had that extra at the top of the stretch in those days....
