John Veitch? Though some will dispute the notion that he is actually still alive

Other than John, who would dispute that?

Was it a Rokeby horse?

Biancone

No.

There are only 4 track records standing from the 70's:
General Assembly; Spanish Riddle; Topsider and Darby Creek Road

It could be one of them.....but I never said it was the 70s.

Did he successfully have his leg amputated? I can't find PP's for these horses!

You said 30 years or so ago....only other horse close to that was Winter's Tale.

I surrender

I think we already established that Winter's Tale isn't the horse.

It took 9998 posts for you to admit you don't know something.

5083 and we are still waiting

I won't reach 9998....but I'm never admitting it.

It takes a man as big as Chuck.

Please tell me....

Topsider.

He raced in Europe, I think England, like a week or so before setting the 6 1/2 Furlong record on, I believe, August 1 1979. I think Tilt Up was second.

Thanks. I didnt remember that but you are a lot older than me

Decades.

I always remember Tilt Up because Marty Katz, another racetracker who is sorely missed, had me give him $10 on Seattle Slew's Belmont Day to bet him when he debuted the following week.

Marty was strong even in 1977.............Tilt Up paid $4.20.

1 of them was the last 2 years.

Huh?

My Dad did the same thing. Skipped 51-54, and 56-59. One year he was 50. The next year he was 55, and the year after that he was 60.
