*I won 5 out of 7 races during my championship season, but won only 4 times the rest of my career.*I was not bred in Kentucky, but I was a grandson of Mr. Prospector and a great grandson of Bold Ruler.
*I raced, and won, on both turf and dirt, but I am best known for my victories on the dirt.
*My trainer has saddled numerous champions, but I was his first colt to win an Eclipse Award.
*Both of my grade 1 victories required a photo finish.
*I never raced overseas, but I moved there at the turn of the century.
*I was a California based horse, but I did manage to race at Aqueduct Racetrack five times.
*My most important wins occurred in California, Kentucky, and New York.
*My last career race was my worst, I finished 9th on the turf.
*I ran at 2, 3, and 4, and competed in graded stakes in each year, but all of my graded stakes wins occurred in the same season.
*Dad was named after a writer; Mom liked to have a good time.
You should know by now … Who Am I ???
Silver Charm?
ReplyDeleteChamp is out early, but his answer is no bueno.
ReplyDeleteTasso?
ReplyDeleteTasso it is! Did anyone else even get a chance to play???
ReplyDeleteExcellent. I whiffed, off the board
ReplyDeleteNot even close. Nothing stuck out to me. Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteI was playing, just didn't find a horse to guess on yet.
ReplyDeletelol..no chance here, just logged on and already done. Congrats!
ReplyDeletetencent is just too good right now ... I might saddle him with 135 next week.
ReplyDeleteHa, I stopped @ the Eclipse winners in 87 and started backtracking...
ReplyDeleteTwo more years amber...
ReplyDeleteI went through all the horses who won an Eclipse award for 3 yo male, older male, then 2 yo male between the years 1980-1999, going backwards. I looked for 9 wins
ReplyDelete(hence the guess with Silver Charm)
then i started to look for where they were bred. After going through 5 or so horses, i got to Tasso.
I feel bad that i keep somehow winning. I've lucked out so many times.Maybe its time to hang it up...
Retirement??? Or are you just favreing us?
ReplyDeleteIf i 3-peat, I call it a career.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll go play "Who Am I ???: Minor League Baseball edition" or something. :-)
