Never even knew Biancone trained for Paulson for that matter.
Yeah, Palace Music was a runner.

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

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, 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.

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.

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.

Correct.

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

Theatrical got a nice ride that day.

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

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.

I was going to say Banner Bob, but I think he was a Ky bred on further reflection.

I guess Groovy, though I was no fan of his. I have a feeling I am forgetting someone pretty obvious.

How about you?

No, it's Groovy.

He was freakishly good. He beat Turkoman at 7F as a 3YO....and Turkoman was good fresh. This was all after running in the Derby I think. They tried, but they couldn't ruin him.

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.

He was the King of Thistle.

I still see him around fairly often.

I'm sure not the best Texas Bred ... but there was a good one in the Carter with Cannon Shell and A Phenomenon...



"The great Ann-Tone" even rode him.
