Assault, the 1946 Triple Crown winner, was nicknamed "Clubfooted Comet". Assault was a product of Bold Venture out of the unraced Equipoise mare Igual. As a foal, he stepped on a surveyor's spike that was lost in the tall grass. Thankfully, the vet who saved his dam's life when she was found with an abscess as a yearling took the same time with him and decided that not only could he be saved, but that his foot could heal enough for him to make it to the track. Despite stumbling when he walked, once he got into a full gallop all signs of the injury went away and he was all business.
