I thought that one might be pretty tough - because of how fragile he was. He had 3 different knee surgeries and two different stomach operations for colic during his racing career. When he won his debut - Iggy Puglisi rode him and he won at 38/1 odds while racing very erratic. He was off 9.5 months when he won his 2nd of those six HP races - it was a very impressive race as he dueled head to head through 21 2/5 and 44 flat fractions and drew off while still outfinishing closers. When he won the Grade 3 stake with the 122 Beyer in his 3rd HP race - he didn't race again for more than 14 months after that. Very underated talent. |
