Correct on Cetewayo.

His Grade 1 wins came 4 years apart. Val's Prince was actually 2nd to him in the first one.

I know this one but I'll let others answer. He was really good for about a 6 month stretch.

Some one-off turf horses:

1) This champion juvenile and favorite for at least 2 of the 3 classics the following year, won his only turf start (The Tell) as a prep for the Travers. I think he was DQ'd from the win actually.

2) This lightly raced colt, trained by a HOF jockey, was 5th in the Arkansas Derby, his stakes debut. He was also 5th in the Kentucky Derby, Jockey Club Gold Cup, and BC Classic. Off his Derby effort, he one the restricted Relaunch at Del Mar in his only turf start. He later won the Malibu and Strub, but was unplaced in the San Fernando.

3) This colt was the "best maiden in the country" in '95, having placed in the Norfolk and Hollywood Futurity flanking an unplaced try Unbridled's Song's BC Juvenile. After breaking his maiden he won the San Felipe but missed the Triple Crown. He came back on the turf, winning the Volante (now the Oak Tree Derby), but I don't think ever ran again.

4) This colt ran 3rd in his only grass start, the minor Pirate Cove Stakes at Santa Anita, prior to his coming out party in the San Felipe in the mud, where he dusted Brocco and Valiant Nature.

Amoss threw me off, since he also trained Val's Prince early in his career for a few starts.

Here's a horse who I would have bet my life would become a Grade 1 winner on turf after his maiden win ... he never did ... but his similarly named brother (Who I was less a fan of) who came along the following year would become a Grade 1 winner on turf. Name both.
