At first I thought this couldnt be right, but the more I research this the more i am beginning to think there really is only 1--which is hard to believe.

The answer is a funny one....Good Reward.

Hollywood Derby and Manhattan.

#**106** 12-20-2006, 11:40 PM

Out of 1020 foals he has had only one son win a Grade I in New York and Cali. That is sort of unreal.

Wow---great job BTW. There is no way I would have ever of guessed him. Now that is a pretty good trivia question.

If Kirisclown was here he would have gotten it instantly.

He is standing at Three Chimneys for $15k live foal. Not too bad of a price. He was very durable for a Storm Cat off spring.

I actually bet him in the Hollywood Derby. That was a race that the jockey, Bailey, had a LOT to do with winning. I guess you could say the same for the Manhattan.

Funny that Heavenly Prize, and Storm Cat, would win Grade 1s on the turf.

I had him in both races as well. Lost a small fortune on him in the Fayette Stakes.

Did Heavenly Prize or Storm Cat ever race on grass?

Now, I am not blaming Blanc, because I don't want to upset BBB, but Bailey won that race.

I bet Saint Stephen....he sucked.

Relaxed Gesture ( and that idiot Bris Blanc ) was tons the best.

Relaxed Gesture was the best in many of his races that he didnt win.

Nice try dude.

RGesture is a very nice horse. unlucky many times, but he has run competitively with some of the best turf horses in this country over the past 3 years.
is going to remain in training in 2007?

Who was the last horse to win the Manhattan Handicap, Man o'War and Turf Classic all in the same year?
