*Bred
in the great state of Kentucky, I was the grandson of a three-time
American champion.
*My
initial run was in a stakes, and in my second start, I won by nearly
seven lengths over a future grade 1 winner.
*I
was a graded stakes winner in each of my three seasons of racing.
*During
the meat of my career, I finished first or second in 22 consecutive
races.
*In
three of my graded stakes victories as a three-year-old, I won by an
average of 12 lengths.
*Popular
with the bettors, I was never let go at odds higher than 2-1.
*I
was not a millionaire earner, although a victory in my last, in which
I was upset at odds of 3-5, would have done it.
*More
than half of my eleven stakes wins came in the state of New York.
*I
ran well at distances ranging more than three-quarters of a mile from
shortest to longest, but all of my stakes wins came between six to
ten furlongs.
*An
excellent sire, my offspring have accounted for many of the most
important races in America.
*I
am no longer of this world, but I made my mark on the sport in more
ways than one.
You
should know by now … Who Am I ???
