On pure talent, I'd put Rahy in the top five horses I've ever seen run.

I happened to be in Britain during the autumn of 1987, remember Rahy as 2yo. not quite a champion but not far off. He was a little guy, too; little guys can run and sire runners, too.

I thought Drysdale did a terrible job bringing him back after the monster win at HP.

Yeah, and I hate when otherwise usually semi-intelligent people say really idiotic things.

Perhaps you forgot the many months long layoff and the series of 7f works in 1:32 and change for Rahy.

Or maybe you don't.

You gotta be sh!tting me. Many months? The Bel Air was traditionally run the last weekend of the spring/summer Hollywood meet. The Ramser (when it was a dirt race for older horses) was run opening week of the Oak Tree meet (late September-October). He basically missed the Del Mar meet, and what a shame, whatwith its all important races for older horses at the time (ie the non-graded Cabrillo Handicap).

By my count, he skipped all of 2 months.

Of course, if you believe everything you read in Dr. Seuss's "Wacky Wednesday", well then we still have the month of Octember to deal with, too.
