*A homebred with impeccable breeding, I was not a son of the bluegrass. *I won just a shade under half of my starts while winning a grand total of nine stakes races. *My sire and his sire lost less races in their combined careers than I did in any one of my three seasons of racing. *I never ran in the Kentucky Derby, but one of my initial stakes wins came at Churchill Downs. *Both my owner and my trainer are members of Racing‘s Hall of Fame, so is my most regular rider. *My final career race was on the grass, but that was not the norm. *I won stakes in each of my three years on the track, but two-thirds came in one season. *My greatest rival and I faced each other ten times over three seasons, and I got the better of him four times. *I was a multiple stakes winner at each of the three major New York racetracks. *My Eclipse Award was the result of my 2nd season on the track. *Not to sound overly boastful, but everyone wishes they had me. You should know by now … Who Am I ??? |

Susan's Girl?
No, it is not Susan's Girl.
Desert Vixen?
Key to the Mint?
Sorry it is not Desert Vixen, but it is Key to the Mint!
Way to go Rachel ... you are a champion once again!
Whoo!
Damn it, I had just gotten Key to The Mint.
How did you get it so fast, Rachel?
Back to the Penguin game!
Excellent.
Orginally I had thought Secretariat. But once you said that he didn't run in the Derby, that was rules him out. Also when you said the rival was a male, which ment more then likely that the horse in question was also male. So I looked at the Eclipse list for three year old males and Key to Mint was the first one that I had to look to see if he didn't run in the Derby.
Impressive, enjoy your week as the champ ... People will be gunning for you in 7 days!
