Default Trivia
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.

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).

Won his debut at Calder - asked to carry 17lbs more than Cannon Shell in the Carter.



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

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

He was an amazing horse. Amazing.

What was so amazing about him? I honestly have no recollection of him at all, though I remember Fit to Fight pretty well.

Correct - he had a nice March of his 3yo season ... won the Hutcheson in 1:20 and change by 5 lengths and beat easy Wood Memorial winner Believe It in the Fountain of Youth. He ended up 20-14-1-2 for his career.

Affirmed and Alydar really seperated themselves from some pretty nice horses within the crop.

Sensitive Prince seperated himself pretty well from Affirmed at the eighth pole in the Jim Dandy. Still one of the most impressive finishes I've seen in a race like that.

Believe It would be a superstar these days. Darby Creek Road was no slouch either.

Here's one I've never seen before - this is the sire of Cigar before his start in the '85 BC Mile.




Never even knew Biancone trained for Paulson for that matter.

Wow, he was pretty good. That was only a couple of years after All Along's Championship run. Patrick was a big deal back then.
