*Bred
in the Sunshine State, my sire was a classic winner and my broodmare
sire was a Horse of the Year.
*My
bargain basement yearling purchase price of just over $7,000 seemed
justified until I turned it around early in my sophomore season.
*I
won more than half of my starts over a three-year racing career which
included twelve stakes victories.
*My
first stakes win came in the South, but not in Florida or Louisiana.
*My
stakes victories came at eight different racetracks, but none of them
came in New York, California, Florida or Kentucky.
*One
of my toughest career defeats came over 1 3/16 miles at Pimlico.
*I
was always easy to find due to my running style and yellow and pink
colors.
*The
jockey who rode me to the most victories had previously won an
Eclipse as the Outstanding Apprentice Jockey.
*Four
of my twelve stakes wins came just outside of Chicago.
*In
my most famous race, I finished third in a thrilling stretch battle
with a pair of classic winners.*My
successful breeding career was cut short when I passed suddenly in a
Virginia breeding shed.
You
should know by now … Who Am I ???
