GB's win was the Saratoga Special on August 9th where he won easily over King Thrush and Bea Mary(had defeated Upset). The Saratoga Special was(I think) a more prestigious race than the Sanford Memorial. From pedigreequery.com Man O'War and Golden Blossom used the same training track in MD. Matched in 3 trials Golden Blossom took the first two and Man O'War took the third. GB developed a quarter crack after the Saratoga Special(before the Sanford??) In 6 races the Saratoga Special was his only win.<br />RG Golden Broom

Notice you have two juveniles here, Man O'War and Golden Broom, each apparently assigned 130 pounds. ... One-hundred-thirty!<br /><br />Why they did that to Golden Broom, who was 1-for-2 lifetime, I dunno. But these days can you imagine assigning 130 to any 2-year-old? P.S.
