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.

Too easy, even without the free pass.

That horse is pretty much synonymous with 'great turf nybreds'.

Incurable Optimist could have been scary good. I think he blew a suspensory.

Here's another one:
What stakes-winning horse named after a famous movie character did Incurable Optimist sire?
