The Young America was like Bid's letdown race .. oddly, his best race as a 2yo came nine days later in the Gr 1 LRL Futurity.
He destroyed General Assembly by 8.5 lengths in track record time. Clever Trick (who won 18 of 29 career starts - and sired Phone Trick - sire of 2yo horse of the year Favorite Trick and champion 2yo filly Phone Chatter) was 3rd beaten 20+ lengths.
It was one of the fastest races ever run by a 2-year-old .. and it marked The Bid's 3rd Grade 1 stakes win in a span of just 20 days.
Imagine today if a 2-year-old won 3 Grade 1's in a span of just 20 days.
