Bumping a thread that's from May here...but I think a lot of people will forget how good of a race horse Successful Dan was.

One of the absolute best dirt route performances all year was Successful Dan's win in the Alysheba in May, before he got hurt.

Here is the replay:

Fort Larned had a very good trip and finished 2nd.

Mucho Macho Man had a very good trip and finished a well beaten 3rd.

It was a city block back to the 4th place finisher -- and that race graded out so tremendously on everyones numbers.

With Fort Larned and Mucho Macho Man running a breakaway 1st and 2nd in the BC Classic yesterday, it highlights the point.

Vol Jack called me up a few days before the BC and we were talking about how we both wished Successful Dan was around for the Classic. Vol Jack really liked Fort Larned yesterday (I didn't) ... hopefully he made a score.
