On Monday, I reported that Violet's grandpa, Runaway Groom, had passed on June 8th, 2007. I thought you might like to see the video of his amazing win at the Travers Stakes in 1982, and the way he beat three U.S. classics winners in one fell swoop, including a horse who was about to become Horse of the Year. It was the first and only time in American Racing History that a horse beat the Kentucky Derby winner, Gato del Sol, the Preakness Stakes winner, Aloma's Ruler, and the Belmont Stakes winner and Horse of Year, Conquistador Cielo, all in one single race!!! What a macho boy, Violet's grandpa was! And all in the year that yours truly was graduating from high school! Check out the video!!or
