It was only '99... but yeah, he came and went.


Candy Ride worked a mile in 1:35 2/5ths ten days before the Pac Classic. He might have the most freaky work of the decade to go along with arguably the best performance of the decade.

Had he and Medaglia D' Oro switched trips in the Pacific Classic - and he was the one allowed to make his own pace real nice - I think you could call Candy Ride into question a little bit... as kind of a decorated South American turf horse - who got his one giant number with a candy trip. That's not what happened though.

But yeah - a case can be made that the equally fragile Mazel Trick was a better dirt horse because he had two supreme dirt races instead of one. And who, other than me, ever talks about Mazel Trick?
