Won his debut at Calder - asked to carry 17lbs more than Cannon Shell in the Carter.



Name him.

I don't know which I remember more, his amazing battle with Fit to Fight in the 1984 Met Mile, or seeing him break down that summer at Saratoga. So sad. Such a freak.

A Phenom

Correct - he had a nice March of his 3yo season ... won the Hutcheson in 1:20 and change by 5 lengths and beat easy Wood Memorial winner Believe It in the Fountain of Youth. He ended up 20-14-1-2 for his career.

Affirmed and Alydar really seperated themselves from some pretty nice horses within the crop.

Sensitive Prince seperated himself pretty well from Affirmed at the eighth pole in the Jim Dandy. Still one of the most impressive finishes I've seen in a race like that.

I had forgotten, by the way, that he won the Jim Dandy.

He was an amazing horse. Amazing.

What was so amazing about him? I honestly have no recollection of him at all, though I remember Fit to Fight pretty well.
