The connections thought he was a turf horse ... they were wrong in a big way!! But, he did end up becoming a Grade 1 winner. Name him.

Correct.

He holds the title of both BC Classic winner, Dubai World Cup winner, and Steve Crist's #1 rated horse of the decade to not win an eclipse award.

Has there been a horse the last 2 decades that had a better 3 year span than Skip Away?
What an awesome horse.

Does anyone remember why he didn't run in the '96 Breeders Cup, after his huge win in the JCGC?

[blackthroatedwind]

Yes...he wasn't nominated.

Will we ever see a horse put together a 15-month stretch of races like Skip Away ran from May of '97 to September of '98? The quality and quantity of those performances are stunning by today's standards.
