Hot, Dearest..... very, very hot.

Imagine Gallant Bloom in the presence of Fallon-kind-of-hot.

Sorry for the private Alex Haley moment..... didn't mean to forget my roots but I wasn't sure.....

Oh I didn't know that one!

What horse was said to have an I.Q. equivalent to a human sixth grader? He exploded onto the national scene in 1897 by demonstrating inexplicable abilities to read, write, spell, do mathematics, tell time, sort mail, use a cash register and a telephone, cite Bible passages, and debate politics. For the next nine years, he performed in nation-wide expositions and world's fairs to wildly receptive crowds, smashing box office records, overcoming hurdles of prejudice and skepticism, all the while winning rapturous praise from the press and such leaders as President McKinley and Booker T. Washington.

If it is the educated horse I am thinking of he had the same name as a former Bluejay/Yankee lefthanded pitcher.

I'm gonna guess it means a $5.20 show bet at Arlington Park!

Ok I'll pose some trivia.
William Shoemaker's last mount was a New York bred competing in a California grass stakes race. Name him.

Here's some more trivia and I'm going to stick older stuff so that it just can't be googled up and create the false impression that some actually know the answers who do not! Tough luck Googlers.
Name the horse that Mike Smith chose to ride in the 1994 NYRA mile instead of Cigar, for whom the race is now named.

Personal Ensign defeated males in the 1988 Whitney Handicap at Saratoga. There were actually only two other horses in the race. Name them.

In 1993 Shug McGaughey won 5 graded stakes race on one program at Belmont. He also had an allowance winner on that card named Regal Solution. Miners Mark won the JCGC, Lure won the Kelso, Strolling Along won the Lawrence Realization, Heavenly Prize won the Frizette, and Dispute won the Beldame.
There was only one other grade one on that program, the Champagne, and McGaughey's horse ran third. Name the winner and McGaughey's horse who ran 3rd.
