How about when Unbridled came back after his 1990 BC Classic victory and turned back to 7f in the Deputy Minister at Gulf for his 1991 debut? He came from 8th place to blow by one of the best sprinters of the time, Housebuster, like he was standing still. Because he was turning back off two turn races and the layoff from the BC, the public dismissed him at 3-1 thinking it was just a public work for the Donn or Gulf Hcp. They were wrong and I was sitting in the grandstand with a nice win ticket and was blown away by the stretch run.
