Immediately after the running of the Hawthorne Gold Cup, I am certain I heard the track announcer call the finishing time in 2.03 and change. I can recall thinking to myself: "Not bad at all on that track"
Thereafter I obtained the charts at Equibase and the final time is listed as 2.04.66, which doesn't appear to be especially snappy, though the track at that point was drying from a short deluge and was hard to gauge, factoring the front runners skated over it:

Heres a story from The Blood Horse quoting the 2.03.3 I swore I heard or saw:

Which was it? I think it may matter. Lord of the Game was bred well enough to be inclined for the distance. Halo had 2 Kentucky Derby winners and but for fate it could have been more. A.P.Indy in there too. What can you say:
