A bay colt, Lil E. Tee was bred in Pennsylvania by Lawrence I. Littman. Much has been said about what many sportswriters have described as Lil E. Tee's less than stellar pedigree. However, his grandsire was Norcliffe who was a son of the U.S. Hall of Fame Champion Buckpasser. Norcliffe earned Horse of the Year honours in Canada and was elected to the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. At stud, Norcliffe was North America's leading juvenile sire by number of wins and second in earnings in 1981.

Unwanted As a weanling, Lil E. Tee had nearly died but was saved by emergency stomach surgery. Considered to have little racing potential, he was sold for $2,000 as a yearling, and at age two his owner tried to sell him again but was rejected by an auction company who deemed the horse unsaleable. Lil E. Tee finally ended up in the hands of a Florida owner and was stabled at Calder Race Course in Miami, Florida where he showed some promise, winning a 7 furlong maiden race. He was then sold again, this time to W. Cal Partee who shipped him to trainer Lynn S. Whiting at Churchill Downs where Lil E. Tee won a one mile allowance race. Of his four starts at age two, the horse won twice and finished second twice. Racing in Arkansas, at age three he won the Grade II Jim Beam Stakes and finished second by a neck to Pine Bluff in the Arkansas Derby, results that led to his appearance in the 1992 Kentucky Derby.

Lil E. Tee was ridden by jockey Pat Day who hadn't won a Derby in ten previous attempts. On a track rated as fast, Lil E. Tee was all but forgotten by a record crowd that had come to see European Horse of the Year, Arazi. The press had talked about little except Arazi since his dominating win in the previous Octobers' Breeders' Cup Juvenile. The New York Times called Arazi "mythical and almost mystical" and TIME magazine said "Arazi is fast winning a reputation as the second coming of Secretariat." Joe Hirsch, a respected columnist with the New Jersey-based Daily Racing Form wrote that Arazi was "such an extraordinary animal that he makes other great horses look like hacks" and Arazi's jockey Patrick Valenzuela, who had won the 1989 Derby aboard Sunday Silence, assured reporters that "This race is over." Fifteen years after his Breeders' Cup win, a National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) 2006 article said that: "Arazi turned in what many still consider to be the single-most spectacular performance in Breeders' Cup history." [1] No wonder then that most Kentucky Derby observers felt Lil E. Tee had no business running in the most prestigious horse race in America. Bettors agreed, and he went off at 18:1 odds.

The Race Starting in post position #10, Lil E. Tee got off to a clean start in the 1992 Kentucky Derby but was still in tenth place after half a mile. Arazi, who had started on the far outside in pole position #17, made the kind of explosive move he was famous for. ABC television announcer Dave Johnson exclaimed "Arazi is flying" as the colt went seven wide, sweeping past horse after horse to move into third place tightly bunched with the leaders. Lil E. Tee followed Arazi, moving into 5th place and as they approached the home stretch Arazi tired badly. Lil E. Tee made his own move and the once unwanted colt soon caught the front running Casual Lies to win the most prestigious race in America and $724,800.
