You had just looked at him recently & put him in your data base. He is a horse all people remember.Example the other poster remembered him from someones past post way back. So with your memorization for Pedigrees, you knew the answer without looking at the horse.

The above quote is hardly a fair statement.

I happen to have pretty much a photographic memory when it comes to horses. Heck, I recognized a horse 15 years after I had seen her at the track when we were at Belle Mere once. She hardly looked like that fit 2 year old I had seen back then. But I remembered her face, color and brand. And I was about 9 years old when I first knew her!

I wouldn't necessarily say he was a horse I remembered in the sense that he made that much of an impression on me. It is more a case of a memory like an elephant when it comes to horses.
