Mr. Right was a darned nice New York-bred from the late 1960s. He won the Dwyer (then a major 10f race for 3yos at Aqueduct), the Trenton H (a major 10f hcp at Garden State) at 4, the Santa Anita H, Woodward S, and Trenton again at 5, and the Suburban plus the Trenton a third time at 6. Even in the 1970s, a later-developing 10f specialist with an offbeat sire wasn't exactly the stallion of choice; people wanted the all-rounder, good at shorter as well as longer distances. It also looks like he had fertility problems, only got a couple dozen foals over 8 seasons at stud. His best offspring was Right Minded, winner of the Stymie H-G3 and the Aqueduct H in 1976.
