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