Every 3 year old that gave Nihilator a real run for his money and or defeated him, never came out of a race against the legendary Falcon Seelster within striking distance. Chairmanoftheboard was a rare exception. Armbro Dallas and Dragons Lair, both defeated Nihilator but were crushed by Falcon Seelster every time they met that foe as were any of the slew of contenders who faced Nihilator in The Jug including Midwest sensation Broadway Express and 3rd place finisher here, Pershing Square. And often in miles nearly as fast on much slower tracks than The Meadowlands!!!!.
Great memories
I was at the Jug this year and still believe he would have won the Jug had he been eligible.
