Don't remember his debut (it was followed by a significant layoff) or what price he was that day. Anything else come out of that race to do anything?

Something like 9:1 with maybe one work showing. I think Beyer wrote an article about it.

Just pulled the chart. He paid $30.60, after opening far shorter, if my memory is correct. I don't recognize most of the other horses in the race, except that the firster that took the most money (at 2-1) and finished fourth, beaten ten lengths, was Strong Hope.

We had a horse in that race. I remember the race like it was yesterday. He trained at Classic Mile who has no official clocker. He showed a couple of slow halfs like 52 and change, but somehow lured Prado to ride. Classic Mile and Palm Beach Downs are two sweet spots if you have one you want to put over...
