Trivia
We had some really good and challenging trivia going on the easy Goer thread.
Lets get another thread started. What horse ran the day after Holy Bull won the Woodward, at Belmont Park, and was a so so 2nd in a two year old stakes race? He went on to be a true great.

How great could he have been.....Thunder Gulch was the 3YO star of the following season and probably still a maiden at this time.
I will have to wrack my brain for this one.

I assume you aren't confused and thinking of Skip Away's incredibly hard luck second to Gator Dancer the day after Cigar's BC Classic win?

What a storm of profanity that trip evoked from me.

Before this Nobiz Like Showbiz, there was another one with the same exacvt name, owned by the same folks.
He was a grass horse in the early to mid 90's and he had a bit of notoriety himself due to a race at Saratoga. What did he do?

Was that the horse that went through the hedge and jumped in the pond?

On closing day of 1993 at Saratoga, a huge carryover had accumulated. The pik-6 ran on races 3-8 back then. Nobiz like Showbiz crossed the line first in the 7th race, a grass allowance at 8-5 odds. Shortly after he crossed the line an inquiry sign lit up the tote board, and he was disqualified. Pat Day and Pete Vestal's horse was placed first at 20-1, and in the next race Strategic Maneuver won the Spinaway, and some very happy pick-6 players got back 115 grand rather than the small amount they would have gotten had Nobiz Like Showbiz not been disqualified.

Trainer Shug McGaughey hit the board in 5 consecutive Travers Stakes, the last two being wins with Easy Goer and Rhythm. Who were the three horses who hit the board before those wins?

He has three wins and hes a bad trip(Personal Flag was moving like a winner before being clobbered by Broad Brush) and Pat Day's worst ride in grade one history(Seeking The Gold's ride has to be seen to be believed, strangled back behind a crawling pace and missed by a head bob while running his last 1/4 mile in a shade under 22:4!!!) from having 5 wins.

I loved Personal Flag, and bet him in that Traver's and Haskell ( probably still the Monmouth Invitational ), but he found his own trouble more often than not.
