I recognized the Kentucky Derby running line and the Kings Bishop where Forestry beat him.

He never ran in the King's Bishop ... the 2nd place in the Grade 1 was to the Indomitable Theatrical gelding Run Man Run in the Malibu.

Was Run Man Run the only Theatrical to ever win a Grade 1 sprint?

Run Man Run...." trained " by the immortal Tony Margotta.

Actually, he had a pretty good, but reasonably unknown, actual trainer.

You are right. Just found the video- it was Five Star Day the year later (1999) who battled Forestry with almost that exact running line.

Actually.

The truth was about Artax, that idiot incompetent buffoon jackass Bradshaw ran Artax against Indian Charlie and Real Quiet while anemic. When he finally figured out he couldn't get his horse to perform at a top level while anemic, he finally laid him up.

Single worst training job by probably the worst big name trainer I can ever remember.

Artax was a beast.

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 ...

It was the mid-90's but the name of the horse escapes me.

He was off a layoff that day and probably fresh.
