Nafzger sure did have him ready when he had time to point for one major race with him.

He actually edged out Cee's Tizzy for 2nd in the 1989 Super Derby. I have a friend who posts here send me tape of Cee's Tizzy's Del Mar win at one mile that year. In a two-turn mile race, he carved out fractions of 21 4/5, 44 flat, 1:08 and something like a 1:33 2/5 final time. He was 1/5th of a second off of Percisionist's track record that day. He finished his career with just 6 starts, never winning a stake....but he'll be remembered for siring two-time Breeders Cup Classic winner Tiznow more than anything else.
