he also took a filly who had screws in her leg and kept her undefeated over a 3 year campaign in which:
she won at Aqueduct, belmont, CD, Monmouth, and saratoga
she won in the slop and on dry tracks
she beat the boys in a grade one
she won going 7f, one mile, one mile and 70 yards, one mile and an eigth, and one mile and a quarter
she never lost, ever
The finest training job on a single horse in our lifetimes and one that is unlikely to ever be surpassed. Give me some of that underachievment anyday.
