But then he came back and ran Skip Away to a neck in the JCGC while giving him five pounds and running faster than he had the year before. And we know what kind of horse Skip Away was. Skip Away, Louis Quatorze, and Alphabet Soup were light years better than what he was facing in 1995. If he would have had a chance to face his 1995 competition again in the fall of 1996, he would have had repeat wins in those races. Who knows how 1995 would have played out had Holy Bull not been injured?
