I have no idea. Confide? Forest Wildcat? Conveyer? Meadow Monster?

Correct.

I was a fan of his. I would always swear to pops and gramps that he was going to get there the next time. Gramps bet him so many times that he started calling him "Strike The Sh!t"

Kind of ironic that his next win was the Pimlico Special given his effort in the Preakness the year before and the track's tendency to go against his one-run style.

Fly So Free running second made it an ultimate comeback race of sorts. Didn't last long though.

It was a little earlier.. 1994, they purchased him after he won the Boojum over Birdonthewire, Harlan, Lite The Fuse etc..

He had won five in a row going into the Breeders Cup.. ended up being the fourth betting choice in the sprint..

I had to look it up. I didn't even remember Meritocrat was a New Farm horse.

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Won the final 6 firm turf races of his career ...



Name him.

Yep. Was 7 lengths clear of 3rd place in the soggy Breeders Cup Mile.

I'm going to have to start posting forms of greyhounds to get something by you and Rollo.

I was there when that Team Valor horse ran him down at huge odds in the Kelso.. Belmont got an enormous amount of rain that fall..

[The Indomitable DrugS]

This horse did something interesting in the race prior to where his form starts in the pic below ...



Name the horse .. and what he did of importance.

I watched a replay of the '94 Goodwood the other day when we were talking about Bertrando, and Fastness was in there. Not sure what Jenine Sahadi was thinking with that move. I also wonder if that's what kept him out of the BC Mile that year.
