Ever happened before ?
Has a Phipps/McGaughey horse ever paid $49 in a Grade 1 race, or any race, for that matter ?
I searched and couldn't find one even really that close.
I have my thoughts on the reasons. They're good thoughts. Among them are they don't run horses over their heads and try to put a round peg into a square hole. Patience and good judgement of the horses they have also. Another is the Phipps family has never been in the stallion business. All good things to make what they did Saturday happen.
Let me know if there was a bigger one.
