The older horse became the first Labred to win a million, and he did it the hard way before the dawn of slots-fueled purses. The older horse finished third in a Grade 1 as a 3yo and as a 4yo. The younger horse defeated a Kentucky Derby winner in Hot Springs.
Name them both.

I was there at Oaklawn the day that Zarb's Magic beat Grindstone and I remember remarking to a friend that even in defeat Grindstone looked good and I thought I might bet him in the KD which I did, but I must not have convinced myself because I didn't put much money on him. Just one of the many dumb-azz things I've done at the racetrack.
