This I'm sure of to be correct.
Maybe I'm thinking of the NY stakes at 5.5F in his PP's but I can't confirm that, they've eliminated basically every 2YO stake before Saratoga now (I think just the Tremont will remain this year.)
Affirmed was a flat out incredible racehorse, one I would have loved to see in person. Maybe the most underrated of all time, considering the talent he lined up against...
