Default Trivia
I'm pretty sure this is the only horse that Todd Pletcher has ever trained who has a top 3 finish in the Breeders Cup Classic.



Name him.

I can't believe this horse went off at 2.90 to 1 against Diazo.

Yep - though Pletcher only trained him for a single race much later on - I believe he's the only horse Pletcher's ever trained at any point - with a top 3 finish in the BC Classic.

Didn't Flower Alley run second in the Classic a few years ago?

Correct on Tiago.

Keeping up with the theme - a true champion (according to BTW anyway)



Name him.

Correct - He became a true refuser. His defeat against a badly soften up Seattle Fitz was a legendary display of hanging.

Here's another 3rd place BC Classic finisher ...



Name him.

Dramatic Gold. I think he came back from 3 cannon bone fractures.

Yep - but I think all of the fractures came later on. He started at 2 and went several years without missing much time. He was a pretty good horse who just happened to run a lot more 2nd's than wins.

Yeah but think about how many folks Terry Finley has gotten to join West Point because of what a superstar Seattle Fitz was (or Awesome Gem is for that matter).
