SoCalMan,
Well, if HL wins today, he will be undefeated going into the Derby, which Private Terms and Indian Charlie. (Air Forbes Won is before my time).
I believe Indian Charlie was 5 for 5 or 4 for 4 after the Santa Anita Derby, where he got a perfect trip just off the cheap speed and beat Real Quiet. We all know what happened 4 weeks later (much to Baffert's surprise)
Private Terms was also undefeated but I don't remember how many races he had, somewhere between 4 and 6. He vied for favoritism in the Winning Colors Derby, going off at 7-2 I believe and not doing a lot of running. Chris Antley the jockey? Not sure.
