Galloping Grocer
Bag (won his first start in 1:08 4/5 I believe) Arazi (most mismanaged horse ever; would have gone down as an all-time great) Dehere, Event of the Year, King Glorious, Java Gold, Dinard (all horses that I felt would have been Derby winners if not forced to miss the race do to injury or illness)

Dehere went on to be a very good sire down here so im not suprised he was in the mix for the derby.

by biggest one-day dissapointment was point given's derby.
i had been telling everyone i knew that this was the best horse in the last 20 years and i placed the single largest straight win bet of my life on him in the derby. it turned out he was a great horse, but for whatever reason, he just didn't have it that day.

Disappointing that Cigar was sterile.
I was terribly disappointed that Point Given was retired with a minor injury instead of giving it a go at 4. There are a lot of them that fall into that category, but I really thought PG was getting better as he matured.

Declan's Moon managed to disappoint AGAIN and his "career" continues to fester.
After pressing the pace yesterday in a $40K allowance that was MEANT to give him confidence and somehow catapult him back into stakes races, this fraud managed to come in dead last, losing so badly that the camera didn't even linger long enough to catch him prance across the finish line.

although i have many disappointments as far as recent retirements:
Bernardini Ghostzapper Mineshaft (should have run BCC'03) Afleet Alex Empire Maker Point Given Barbaro (I was never a fan, but I know he is a damn good fighter) my biggest disappointment is that Citation, the greatest champion ever!!! was before my time. And there won’t be another.

Tell me the truth...
Can you ever ever ever see the name of that horse and not think of King? I'll be on my deathbed and someone will say Galloping Grocer and... Oh wait that won't happen so never mind.

Candy Ride retiring after only one race in America. That was one monster performance in PC at Del Mar. Passed Megdalio D'Oro as if he was standing still.
