Correct - he had a nice March of his 3yo season ... won the Hutcheson in 1:20 and change by 5 lengths and beat easy Wood Memorial winner Believe It in the Fountain of Youth. He ended up 20-14-1-2 for his career.

Affirmed and Alydar really seperated themselves from some pretty nice horses within the crop.

Sensitive Prince seperated himself pretty well from Affirmed at the eighth pole in the Jim Dandy. Still one of the most impressive finishes I've seen in a race like that.

Believe It would be a superstar these days. Darby Creek Road was no slouch either.

Here's one I've never seen before - this is the sire of Cigar before his start in the '85 BC Mile.




Never even knew Biancone trained for Paulson for that matter.

Wow, he was pretty good. That was only a couple of years after All Along's Championship run. Patrick was a big deal back then.

Lady's Secret. Life's Magic, her stablemate, beat her.

I did take the 10:1 in the Test however. She beat Mom's Command ( and some Greentree horse ).

Yeah, Palace Music was a runner.

Seeing those names he ran against, wow, it really puts our current turf racing into clear focus.

Well, when one person buys most of the good bloodlines, and then either doesn't race them or ruins them, top class racing goes down the toilet.

There was an incredible collection of Euro imports in the '85 Breeders Cup.

That was when Theatrical made his US debut. Besides him - Pebbles, Strawberry Road, Lashkari, and Triptych all entered in the BC Turf.

Strawberry Road was also Biancone - so Biancone trained both the sire and damsire of Cigar.

Theatrical got a nice ride that day.

I didn't know Strawberry Road sired Solar Slew!

As for Palace Music, did you notice that in his one really bad race, he got trounced by the grandsire of one of the greatest horses of the last 30 years?

The other race he finished poorly, 4th by 9, he got beat by the underrated and forgotten Commanche Run.
