Don't forget Magna Terra Smoky!  His race record in 1997 was
7/105(45-29-16)25-24.  At that time he had the most earnings of all-time for
an Arabian.  I remember watching the horses in the saddling paddock at Los
Alamitos in the early 1990's.  I spotted a somewhat odd looking horse- not
what you'd call handsome/ almost gaunt-looking/and with something obviously
wrong with one of his eyes.  That horse, I learned, was Smoky.  He had lost
an eye to infection at the very beginning of his training.  Well, that
one-eyed guy won the race we watched.  I followed his career after that and
am a true fan.
