Correct.

His first dirt race wearing blinkers he upset Street Cry at 65/1 odds

I thought I might be able to slip that one past you guys because of the running line where EA blows a 5 length lead.

That was the Excelsior, he uncharacteristically bolted to the lead and got beat by some bomb.

In just ten weeks he went from maiden to Wood Memorial winner ... didn't run again after the Wood for two years.



Name him ...

And my biggest Derby score.

It was yet another against the bias trip in a row for Go for Gin who chased Holy Bull on a big inside speedway in the Florida Derby and then same deal versus Irgun in that Wood.

A layoff in '02 seems like a standard spacing between races for stakes horses these days
