Much has been written about this horse in the Sim forums and without doubt connections have supporters who share their views.

That win was followed with another easy win at allowance level where he lead the entire journey and accounted for the previously undefeated <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Dance This Away<\/B> by 2\u00bc lengths. With two from two, connections decided he had shown enough to take on the better two-year-olds and was entered in the prestigious <U>The Little Ones Juvenile &#8211; G2<\/U>.

Coming out of barrier 1 and carrying the bulk of the punter\u2019s money, <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Rye of Pye<\/B> was not his usual self and after being midfield early, struggled to maintain contact with the leaders and finished down the track in 9<SUP>th<\/SUP>. That was followed with another disappointing effort when he finished 6<SUP>th<\/SUP> in the <U>Flying Saucer Stakes &#8211; G3<\/U>, where he recoded a career worst speed rating of 68. With two failed runs leading into the <U>Breeders Bowl Juvenile Turf \u2013 G1<\/U>, <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Ray of Pye<\/B> was given little chance by the punters and was sent out at the juicy odds of $11.50.

That was followed with an easy 6\u00bd length win at Stakes level before taking on the cream of the three-year-olds in the <U>Florida Derby \u2013 G1<\/U>. Lining up on dirt for the second time of his career, against a field which included five previous Grade 1 winners including <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Tower Storm<\/B>, winner of the <U>Breeders Bowl Juvenile Dirt \u2013 G1,<\/U> and the star filly <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Dancing Brave<\/B>, winner of the <U>Breeders Bowl Juvenile Turf Filly \u2013 G1<\/U> and three other Grade 1 races, <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Ray of Pye<\/B> was facing his toughest test to date. Coming out of post 13 in the fourteen-horse field, <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Ray of Pye <\/B>dropped towards the back of the field early before rallying late to finish in 3<SUP>rd<\/SUP> behind <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Fusaichi Devil<\/B> and <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Tower Storm<\/B>. After more than proving his ability on dirt last start connections then entered <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> in the time honoured <U>Corkscrew Stakes \u2013 G1<\/U>. Facing a full field of fourteen runners <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> showed he would be leading contender for upcoming <U>Bluegrass Derby \u2013 G1<\/U> when he held on to win from the fast finishing <B>English Castle<\/B>. With his second Grade 1 in his keeping, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> was aiming to make it three when he next stepped out in the <U>Autumn Gold Derby \u2013 G1<\/U> at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags\" \/><st1:State w:st=\"on\"><st1:place w:st=\"on\">Kentucky<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>.

Coming out of the sixth post, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> raced handy early before taking over the lead at the 4\u00bd furlong mark where he went on to record an easy 3 length win. <o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt\">In a surprise move, his connections then spent him to <st1:country-region w:st=\"on\">Australia<\/st1:country-region> to contest the <U>Sydney Derby &#8211; G1<\/U>\u00a0over 12 furlongs, starting at extremely short odds <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> could only manage a disappointing 5<SUP>th<\/SUP> before returning to <st1:State w:st=\"on\"><st1:place w:st=\"on\">Kentucky<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> where he was set for <U>Bluegrass Derby \u2013 G1<\/U>. Facing the best of his generation <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> was sent out as the fourth favourite for the Derby but raced below his best to finish a disappointing 9<SUP>th<\/SUP>, 26\u00bd lengths of the winners <B>Tower Storm <\/B>and <B>Unbridled Fury<\/B>. Many experts believe the trip to <st1:City w:st=\"on\">Sydney<\/st1:City> cost <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> any chance in the <st1:place w:st=\"on\"><st1:City w:st=\"on\">Derby<\/st1:City><\/st1:place> and his subsequent failure in the <U>Middle Jewel Stakes \u2013 G1<\/U> where he again finished behind <B>Unbridled Fury <\/B>and <B>Tower Storm<\/B><SPAN style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold\"> in 7<SUP>th<\/SUP><\/SPAN>. Returning to turf, Ray of Pye won twice at Stakes level, including a career high speed rating of 117, before again being set for a Grade 1 on dirt. Winning his last two saw punters again put their faith in the horse when he started second favourite to <B>Tower Storm <\/B>in the<U> Swamp Stakes \u2013 G1<\/U>. Jumping from the outside, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> stormed home to finish 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> to <B>Seattledancing Joe<\/B> with <B>Tower Storm<\/B> floundering back in 9<SUP>th<\/SUP>. <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> had a further two starts on dirt at Grade 1 level where he finished 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> to <B>Fusaichi Gluch<\/B> in the <U>Eddie Haskell Stakes \u2013 G1<\/U> and a disappointing 12<SUP>th<\/SUP> to <B>King\u2019s Ransom<\/B> in the <U>Prince\u2019s Knight Stakes \u2013 G1<\/U>. Returning to turf <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> next started in the <U>Boston Derby \u2013 G1<\/U> where he finished 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> to <B>Goldquester<\/B> before again having to settle for 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> when arch rival <B>Daneye<\/B> had his measure in the <U>Mospe Cup \u2013 G1<\/U>.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt\">At this point <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> had faced the starter 16 times during his three-year-old season for six wins including three at Grade 1 level and a further five Grade 1 placings, but still the connections had more in store for their stable star. Facing the starter for the seventeenth time that season, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> was to face the older horses for the first time in the <U>Jockey Guild Gold Cup \u2013 G1<\/U>. Jumping straight to the lead from the outside post, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> found the older horses too strong at the end and finished 6<SUP>th<\/SUP> to <B>Teddy\u2019s Slew<\/B> while yet again finishing in front of the <U>Bluegrass Derby \u2013 G1<\/U> winner <B>Tower Storm<\/B>. Coming through his last race in good order his connections decided to push on towards the <U>Breeders Bowl Mile \u2013 G1<\/U>. Jumping from the eighth post <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> raced handy early before taking the lead as the field entered the straight, running the race of his life, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> was drawing on his reserves before being caught late by <I><U>Hall of Fame<\/U><\/I> inductee <B>Storm Dog<\/B>. Running a career best speed rating of 121, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> failed to hold off the winner by a length with the third place getter a further 5 lengths back. After his amazing effort in the <U>Breeder Bowl Mile \u2013 G1<\/U>, <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Ray of Pye<\/B> raced a further four times that season for two minor placings at Stakes level.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt\">Starting his four-year-old season with three wins at Grade 1 level under his belt during the previous season connections had high hopes for the coming season. Opening with a 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> at Stakes level, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> showed everybody at his second start that he had lost none of his class. Running a career high speed rating of 125, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> had an easy time of it in the <U>Ramblings Stakes \u2013 G3<\/U> winning by 3 \u00bc lengths beating <I><U>Hall of Fame<\/U><\/I> inductee <B>Western Groom<\/B> and multi-millionaires <B>Cad Crop<\/B>, <B>Starke Storm<\/B>, <B>Daneye<\/B> and <B>High River<\/B>. That win was followed by a disappointing 7<SUP>th<\/SUP> of 8 in the <U>Buddy Boy Mile \u2013 G2<\/U> won by <B>Volotile Nijinsky<\/B> where the off track may have added to his poor performance. Returning to Stakes level, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> made amends for his last start defeat with another easy win against a small field in the <U>Romo Special Stakes<\/U>. His next assignment was against a moderate field in the <U>Arcade Handicap \u2013 G2<\/U>, jumping just worst than midfield <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> rallied late to finish 3<SUP>rd<\/SUP> behind <B>Dynafor Boom <\/B>and <B>Golfing Nijinsky<\/B>. After showing improvement in his last start, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> was entered into the <U>Sand Castle Fee Duty \u2013 G1<\/U> where he put in his worst performance of his career in recording a 59 speed rating in finishing 13<SUP>th<\/SUP> of fourteen. <o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt\">Even though disappointed, connections disregarded his last effort and continued with their plan of gaining more Grade 1 glory; their faith was quickly repaid when <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> returned to winning form at his very next start in the <U>All Comers Stakes \u2013 G1<\/U>. After being able to lead the entire journey in his last start connections decided to enter him in the <U>Rising Sun Spring Cup \u2013 G1<\/U> over the 7 furlongs sprint distance. Surprising his harshest critics, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> again raced close to the lead to claim his second Grade 1 for the season beating rivals <B>Daneye <\/B>and <B>Golfing Nijinsky<\/B>. <SPAN style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold\">He<\/SPAN> was then returned to route distance in the 10 furlongs <U>Movieland Turf Cup \u2013 G1<\/U>, against a small field of seven wher he again tried to lead the entire journey before being run down to finish 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> behind <B>Majestic Water<\/B>. Dropping back in grade <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> found the <U>King George BB Stakes \u2013 G3<\/U> an easier assignment when again leading the entire trip to win by 4\u00bc lengths from <B>Making the Cat<\/B> and <B>Cad Crop<\/B>. Continuing with his recent role of pacemaker, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> had an easy time in front when he took out the <U>Queens Sam \u2013 G2<\/U> beating <B>Scab Sal<\/B> and <B>Volotile Nijinsky<\/B>. <SPAN style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold\">This was followed with a <\/SPAN>2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> in an owner-restricted allowance before being set for the <U>Turf Invaders Stakes \u2013 G1<\/U>, where as second favourite for the 9 furlongs event <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> tried to lead from wire to post before being caught late to finish 3<SUP>rd<\/SUP>.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This was followed by a 6<SUP>th<\/SUP> in the <U>West\u2019s Summer Flash \u2013 G1<\/U> before an improved effort when 3<SUP>rd<\/SUP> in the <U>Jack The Man Stakes \u2013 G1<\/U> behind <B>Volotile Nijinsky<\/B> and <B>Daneye<\/B> with <I><U>Hall of Fame<\/U><\/I> <B>Storm Dog<\/B> back in 6<SUP>th<\/SUP>. <B>Ray of Pye\u2019s<\/B> next start was in the prestigious <U>Canada Mile \u2013 G1<\/U> where again he meet <B>Volotile Nijinsky<\/B> and <B>Daneye<\/B> amongst his eleven rivals; jumping midfield <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> only plodded throughout to finish 5th beaten by <B>Ghostbuster<\/B> and <B>Slingblade Edison<\/B> with <B>Daneye<\/B> 3<SUP>rd<\/SUP>. <o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt\">In an attempt to get <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> to focus back on the job he was dropped to allowance level where he returned to his early racing pattern to finish strongly over the top of the leaders to win pulling away. With the <U>Breeders Bowl<\/U> meeting fast approaching, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> was prepared with his first start over dirt for the season in the <U>Jockey Guild Gold Cup- G1<\/U>. Meeting the likes of <I><U>Hall of Fame<\/U><\/I> inductee <B>I Seek U<\/B> and the $5 million earner <B>Silverwore <\/B>for the first time, <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> surprisingly started as the punters popular elect. Racing handy throughout <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> finalised his preparation for the <U>Breeders Bowl<\/U> with a solid 3<SUP>rd<\/SUP> behind <B>Bird Penguin<\/B> and <B>Rack Cooter<\/B>.

Punters again showed their faith in <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> and sent him out as favourite for the $4 million dollar event; however there was to be no fairytale for his connections and after losing ground at every call finished down the track in 10<SUP>th<\/SUP> behind <B>Silverwore, Brass Wood<\/B> and <B>I <st1:place w:st=\"on\"><st1:PlaceName w:st=\"on\">Seek<\/st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st=\"on\">U<SPAN style=\"FONT-WEIGHT: normal\">.<\/SPAN><\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place><SPAN style=\"FONT-WEIGHT: normal\"> After failing in the <U>Coxless Stakes &#8211; G1<\/U>, <\/SPAN>Ray of Pye<\/B> returned to the winners stall in the <U>Jacobsson Stakes \u2013 G2<\/U> where he was able to hold on to a 2 \u00be length win after getting out to a 7 length lead at the third call. In his final race of the season <B>Ray of Pye<\/B> was again sent out as the popular elect before finishing 3<SUP>rd<\/SUP> in the <U>Penn Dash \u2013 G1<\/U> over 7 furlongs behind <B>Slingblade Edison<\/B>.
