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 ).

Well, yeah, it was obvious, however, he bothered to block out that she was bred in Oklahoma, while leaving up the 3yo grey filly portion of her pps.

Correct.

Life's Magic was also 2nd in the '84 distaff - albeit beaten a pole by the 120 Beyer of Princess Rooney.

She also lost to Bounding Basque, and Tony " never knew the rail " Graell, in the Brooklyn.

Graell rode a bunch of winners that my father trained in Cleveland. He swears he was the best of a good Thistledown room in the 80's.

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.
