Yeah ... Behrens was a total regional hate for IC.
The horse won 4 of 7 as a 3yo, got nipped in the Travers, and won a stake later on with a 118 Beyer. Went on to be an excellent older horse that banked over $4.5 million.
In spite of all that ... he royally sucked because he wasn't from So Cal.
But hey, that A. P. Indy sure was a great horse!
He really showed that unaccomplished Euro My Memoirs who was boss when he outgamed him in the Belmont. Not to mention his stellar BC Classic win over a decent 3yo Euro filly trying dirt for the first time.
