Who Am I ???

*Bred in Florida, I was a champion who was sired by a member of the Hall of Fame. *I either finished 1st, 2nd or last in ever single start … 75% of them were wins. *My winning streak of ten races was at seven different tracks and never at the same place two races in a row. *The year I won an Eclipse Award, my conditioner also took home an award as Outstanding Trainer. *In my first try around two-turns, I was beaten by a nose, giving ten pounds to a future Sprint Champion. *Eleven of my wins came in stakes, three of those were of the grade 1 variety, with my first grade 1 victory coming at Monmouth Park. *All of my wins occurred east of the Mississippi, with Arlington Park being the farthest west. *In my championship season, I may not have been the top horse in the barn, but I did have a better record than him with 8 wins in 9 starts. *All of my victories came in one-turn races within the range of five furlongs to one mile. *Greatly cherished by my connections, I gave them everything I had on the track. *I was retired after winning my final career race, unfortunately I suffered a bowed tendon in the process.
