I mentioned Mr. Prospector in an earlier thread today ...

Mr. Prospector was a speed-sprinter who would need to hail a cab to get 9 furlongs - let alone 1 1/4 miles.



He couldn't even get 8.5 furlongs in the Lexington on a loose and uncontested lead at Keeneland as a 2/5 favorite. His Derby Trial defeat at 3/5 odds going a mile - was a race where he pretty much stopped to a jog in the stretch.

Of the 20 horses who ran in this years Kentucky Derby - name the only one who does not have Mr. Prospector in his pedigree.

No - he's closely inbred to Mr. Prospector.

Still, not a bad guess at least, since he was a Euro import.

I will give you a hint - this horse and Espoir City were the only two BC Classic starters this year with no Mr. Prospector in their pedigree.

He's out of a Smart Strike mare - and he didn't run in the Derby - went Blue Grass-Preakness if I recall.

Both excellent points.

No.

Silverbulletday's career is strikingly similar to Rachel Alexandra though. SBD developed a little sooner - and RA might have been just a touch more talented - they both "struggled" at age four but still ran strong numbers for older females.
