Who Am I ???

*Bred in Kentucky, I was a grandson of one of the greatest sires in American history. *I won more than half of my starts during my four seasons on the racetrack. *In my best season, I won an allowance by 7 ½ over a future Breeders‘ Cup winner, and then three straight grade 1 stakes. *Popular with the bettors, I was bet below 2-1 on 17 occasions, including in each of my stakes wins. *In my career defining victory, I was a romping winner despite spotting the runner-up twenty pounds. *I may have been foaled in Kentucky, but I was a New Yorker, with all but one of my races taking place in the Empire State. *My only trip outside of New York, was just across the Hudson, where I ran 4th, snapping a six-race win streak. *The distance of my victories had a three-quarter mile spread between the shortest and longest. *My greatest accomplishment was in doing something that only other three others could do. Unfortunately they are all in the Hall of Fame and I am not. *As a sire, I produced a millionaire daughter, and a son who created quite a stir at Pimlico. *I was surrounded by successful people; my owner, trainer, and regular rider are all members of racing‘s Hall of Fame.
