Who Am I ???

*Bred in Kentucky, I was an American champion who went winless at Kentucky tracks. *My sire’s most important win came in a race no longer run, his sire was a Horse of the Year. *I won eight stakes, all of them graded, and the first six were split equally between only two tracks. *My best known offspring won just under three times as much in earnings as I did. *I was a regular in the Breeders’ Cup, but unfortunately each result got progressively worse. *I did not mind carrying a lot of weight, once winning a race with more than 130 pounds on my back. *My first stakes win and my last stakes win were a couple of weeks shy of being exactly three years apart. *I won greater than one-third of my more than 30 lifetime starts. *My most regular rider was on board each time during my string of five straight stakes wins. *The majority of my stakes wins occurred in my sophomore season, which was not my Eclipse Award winning season. *Both my trainer and I have passed away. He is in the Hall of Fame, I am not. You should know by now … Who Am I ???
