All good except no one answered (8).

Here's a tough one:

At least in the last 25 years, only 3 horses have won both the Discovery and the Queens County in the same year. A fourth horse, Early Warning, one each race in separate years.

Name all 3.

Two of them are easy....Mr. Sinatra and Evening Attire.

Don't know the third....or #8.

I thought number 8 was the easiest, but then again, I'm a bit of a fan of both Indian Charlie and the half brother of that Starlet winner, Magical Mile.

Does anyone here remember Magical Mile? Holy shid man, that was one bad ass 2yo.

In case anyone is interested in Magical Mile, here is a link to his pedigree page.

His first two races were devastating, and that included the 56.2 he went going 5 at HP.

I also remember him being an amazing physical specimen as well. You can see a picture of him at this link when he was older, but still looking good.

I remember him getting upset in his comeback race. He might have got dusted in the Malibu, too.

Back when the LA Times actually covered horse racing, Magical Mile was certainly all the rage after his first two starts. Of course, those early season 2yos never hold up for one reason or another.
