Who Am I ???

*I began my career racing exclusively on one coast, and finished it running only on the other coast.

*As a three-year-old, I was not a champion although I did split decisions with that year’s champion.

*I was undefeated on the grass, but that surface was not what I was best known for.

*Having me in either spot of the exacta was a good play; I finished first or second at a very high rate.

*I was a stakes winner in three out of my four seasons of racing.

*My final eight victories were achieved at six different distances and two different surfaces.

*Churchill Downs recognized me for a former track record I held there.

*My racing results allowed me to be rewarded with the ultimate racing honor.

*You could say that I was a shoe-in for all of my races during my final year of running.

*My longest winning streak remained intact into retirement.

*If you can figure out the first part of my name, the second part should be no problem at all.
