Empire Maker's race, however, turned into one of the great negative key races of all time. Everyone wanted to bet back anyone who lost to the supposed mighty one.....and they came back to run like garbage, one after another, from what I remember.

Unbridled Song was the real deal. What a horse he could have been.

A pair of Drysdale two year olds come to mind when thinking of hyped of horses prior to their debuts.

AP Indy and FuPeg.

I also remember Lukas, moments after buying a full sibling to Terlingua, proclaiming she was so perfect, it looked like she could go out there right now and run 1:09. This was as a yearling! I think she sold for about 1.9 million. She didn't do much.

one of the best horses FuPeg ever beat was in that mdn race, and it was not by much.

I was there for his maiden score... 11-years-old, but I remember it like it were yesterday. I attended my first Breeders' Cup later that year when he out-gamed Hennessy (and of course Cigar later won). And when he turned for home with the lead in the Derby, I went nuts. He was definitely one of my all-time favorites.

ya he is my all-time favorite... the reason I started following horse racing when I was 12.

Who knows how much better my life would be had that not happened!

At least Spainard is assured of avoiding trouble inside with Mike Smith to take him WIDE.

interesting..... he is not the morning line favorite, the other candy ride is.... the ae from harty is the main danger if he draws in

have you looked at the race ? if bafferts anywhere near 3-1, and harty does not draw in... i think hes a great bet, even at 5-2, but i doubt you will get anywhere near that

[bare it all]

well, the sad thing is the poor colt will probably buck shins before his 3rd race
