I'm not sure if this counts, but I believe in the retired South African turf runner Spook Express, who got a piece of the BC Turf at 7yrs old 2 or 3 yrs ago if memory serves. My only exception to your list is Congaree, who I thought ran a pretty good race, all things considered. It was a little disturbing to learn that he had open gashes from PVal's agressive use of the stick, although it apparently wasn't bad enough to prevent him from running again in the Cigar Mile. It's way off topic, but imho aggressive whipping is overrated, & I for one would like to see American racing at least adopt the much smaller European whips.
