This horse was claimed for 35K as a 2-for-15 runner and got hot. He shares a name with a DT poster.

Name him.

The mighty Cannon Shell.

Chester Ross gave it away. Good one.

Correct.

Why did Ayarza's weight shift between starts? Does the subscript indicate bug weights in these old PPs?

I think that number represents the post position in the old charts.

I feel lost looking at PPs w/out Beyer figs... shows how much of a staple they've become in handicapping (at least in mine).

Name him.

Name him.

I don't know which I remember more, his amazing battle with Fit to Fight in the 1984 Met Mile, or seeing him break down that summer at Saratoga. So sad. Such a freak.

A Phenom

A Phenomenon is correct.

I had forgotten, by the way, that he won the Jim Dandy.

He was an amazing horse. Amazing.
