Pole Position
I can't recall the particulars but it may very well have been soon after that gritty win you mentioned in the mud by Pole Position, but he shipped east and raced at Aqueduct in the very early days of the Inner Track/winter racing in New York.
He won a stake race also in gritty fashion and did I bet him, and the guy I was with got all p--off about that result, throwing his program to the ground and cussing up a storm.
Not knowing much, I did say to him: 'How couldn't you NOT bet Pole Position, he's from Canada so he must love this cold weather.
Needless to say, my friend did not appreciate my attempt at humor.
