Remember how cool he was. I can remember him in the sword dancer about 15 years ago under Pat Day getting up late to make Pat Day leading money winning jock. Great race, great ride, great hoss. Never looked like a winner, but Day got him to change leads right before the wire to surge to victory. One of the coolest things I ever saw from the rail. It was like everything was in slow motion for the last 1/16 of a mile. Beautiful Grey hoss for sure.
