Note: Until the end of the year I will
be counting down my top favorite moments from this year.
Most people thought that Liam's Map
should have been in the Classic. After all, he did win the Woodward
by an impressive margin and was a very good second in the Whitney.
However with being undefeated at a mile and a deal with Lane's End
done, it was decided that he would be Dirt Mile bound instead. His
start to the race was poor, and that was not good in a field that
included Lea, Wicked Strong, and Tapiture among others. However, his
quick turn of foot in the stretch overcame those early problems and
he won the race over Lea and Red Vine.
Liam will begin his stud career this
winter at Lane's End with the horse who beat him in the Whitney...
Honor Code and Cigar Mile winner Tonalist.
