His fastest race at age 2 was the LRL Futrity. The LRL Futurity was his 3rd Grade 1 in less than 3 weeks - in three different states no less. He broke the 8.5f track record at LRL by a full second. General Assembly was 2nd by 8.5 lengths. Clever Trick (who was 18-for-29 lifetime and an excellent 2yo) was 3rd by 20.5 lengths. Tim The Tiger (a Grade 1 winner who brought a 5-for-6 lifetime record into the race) was 4th by 25 lengths. He basically lived in the low to mid 120's at age 3 and lived in the mid 120's to low 130's at age 4. Bid's fastest race at age 3 was probably the Malboro. Won by 5 over General Assembly. GA won the Travers by 15 in his prior start and took the Vosburgh over older sprinters in his final career start. ![]() Coastal was 3rd in that race. He came back to run a good 2nd to the older Affirmed next out. Czaravich (a soundly beaten 3rd) won his next three starts on dirt including a win in the Met Mile under 126lbs. ![]() Cox's Ridge (an older horse who was 16-for-28 in his career and a Met Mile winner) was 4th ![]() Star De Naskra (who had crossed the wire first in 7 straight) was 6th. ![]() Bid was even consistantly faster at age 4 until the last race or two. |

I'm pretty sure I've already done some of them from that year. Will have to look through my notebook I was using and find them when I get the time.
