R.I.P. Lure (May 14, 1989 - November 15, 2017) An extraordinary thorougbred horse which began his career racing on dirt, but when his trainer Shug McGaughey decided to try him on the turf, Lure won nine stakes races and was inducted to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 2013. Regards from Venezuela.
May be even more impressive than 92. Blasts to front from outside hung out wide with blazing fractions. Led virtually throughout. One of the best turf milers US produced last 50 years.
"As Lure sped away from the gate and set out after the lead, a brutal traffic jam behind him and to his inside eliminated several top contenders. Lure cruised along on the front end and drew off to a 2 1/4 lenght victory"
"Yet as good as Lure was, he was born the wrong year. Despite his great record on the turf in 1992 and 1993 he missed out on an Eclipse Award each year"

Brilliant ride and incredible horse
Lure had so much speed it was crazy 🤪
How did it take until 2013 to put this great horse into the hall of fame?
