When was the last time we saw a horse capable of winning a G1 sprint and nearly taking down a G1 10f Derby?
My memory is so bad, I should never delve into these areas, but didn't Black Tie Affair win the BC Classic after the year prior running third in the BC Sprint?

Not the same as your question, but a versitile horse.
