That's like St Liam for me. He first cost me a matchup bet that Ghostzapper would win by open lengths. But I was so impressed by St Liam in that race that I took a future on him for the 2004 BC Classic at 17-1. Of course, they passed the BC Classic that year. Early in the next year I took him in that Calif race that he lost. By the time the BC came around, I thought he was not as tough as the previous year and bet against him. Wrong every time. Loved the horse anyway.
