Yes, I remember 86 very well because Mogambo was supposed to be very good but Ogygian(who is one of my favorite horses of all time) slapped him around pretty good. Mogambo was trained by Jolly and that is the same time Track Barron was running. Jolley gave Cordero a share in the horse at stud to get him to ride against Lady Secret in the 86 Whitney in which Lady Secret manhandled him(or is it woman handled). I don't know if horses are getting better but they are getting faster!! But, we always look back at the older horses and say what good have been. Ogygian hurt his back in one of those races and was never the same again.
Meadowlake was super fast but a cripple who I thought would be much better at Stud than he actually was.
