I know it's T-breds, but people don't talk enough about Two Phil's nearly winning the Kentucky Derby last year.
Would've been so huge for Illinois racing to have the 2023 Kentucky Derby winner trained and stabled at Hawthorne. Add on that last year's Preakness was the weakest ever... he could've had a shot at the Triple Crown
Was the best horse in that class and ran the best race that day, but loyalty to the Illinois jockey (Loveberry) was his downfall. So close to something so big
