It should be noted that Forty Niner's Breeder's Futurity win came about 10 days after he won the Champagne.
Not sure why not running in the BC hurt's him. Ultimately, he didn't avoid anything by not running. Success Express won the race.
As proxy for a lost forum member, I think I should also mention King Glorious, who ran some fast races over the '89 season.
