Awesome PPs! Amazing how he ran 10 times in 1995, nearly once a month and won every single one of them. 8 Grade 1 wins just in that year alone in multiple tracks! Now we are lucky to see a high caliber horse race even 3 times a year. If he wins 2 of them then he is automatically a candidate for HOY.
