The record was 6 furlongs on turf, not 6 1/2 like I previously said.

What a handsome boy.

Thanks, Moodwalker.

I'm really enjoying this thread, though I'm so ignorant. It's very humbling.
I really don't have a clue about some of the trivia, but it helps me learn.
Here's one for you:
The year, 1977.
Two year olds face each other.
One is named Affirmed, one is Alydar.
This was a "fair and square" stakes. Not like Alydar's win via DQ in the Travers when they were three year olds.
Alydar won it, and got me "hooked on racing".

Name the race.

Nice story. I love hearing this kind of stuff.....

The Youthful Stakes?

Nope...starts with a C.

Well I had to cheat and look it up..... the Champagne Stakes. :)

There you go Miss SC!

I feel like a moron..... and to make it worse, a moron who cheats. :D

The answer to my question is that Jack Sullivan and David Junior are named for their owner's two sons.

You are definitely not a moron!
Thanks for the names on those two.
Just curious, (cause I can't find a good "joke of the day")...
Did he have a third son that was named for his next-door-neighbor?

What jockey won the Russian Oaks five times, the Russian Derby four times, the Czar's Prize on three occasions, and the Warsaw Derby twice, not to mention 2 wins in the KY derby...?

Okay this one I know... Jimmy Winkfield.

Ha ha..... I think you shold start a thread and we can vote for the name. :p

An easy one.....

What was The Green Monkey named after?

It was either a golf course or a bowling alley. Do you play golf?

Very nice! He was named after their golf course in Barbados.

Do I play golf??? I don't know... does Big Squeeze win races?:D

Ummm..... no. You?

Use to a lot. Only occasionally now.

how is the weather on the left coast?

Wait, I have one more to add in addtiion to the golf course...it was the Chinese year of the Green/ Wood Monkey too.

Which road was the first in Florida to be funded by federal money? This road ran from east to west, crossing the St. John’s River, going from Pensacola to Tallahassee to St. Augustine.

Just a wild guess...Bellamy Road.

Hot, Dearest..... very, very hot.

Imagine Gallant Bloom in the presence of Fallon-kind-of-hot. :D

Sorry for the private Alex Haley moment..... didn't mean to forget my roots but I wasn't sure..... :p

Oh I didn't know that one!

What horse was said to have an I.Q. equivalent to a human sixth grader? He exploded onto the national scene in 1897 by demonstrating inexplicable abilities to read, write, spell, do mathematics, tell time, sort mail, use a cash register and a telephone, cite Bible passages, and debate politics. For the next nine years, he performed in nation-wide expositions and world's fairs to wildly receptive crowds, smashing box office records, overcoming hurdles of prejudice and skepticism, all the while winning rapturous praise from the press and such leaders as President McKinley and Booker T. Washington.

If it is the educated horse I am thinking of he had the same name as a former Bluejay/Yankee lefthanded pitcher.

Big Squeeze? :p

lol, I forgot about that guy
Jimmy Key wasn't it?
yes the horse was Jim Key
trained by Dr. William Key
a former slave, and self-taught vet
great story!

what does
melhor ainda
mean?

better still. in portuguese

I'm gonna guess it means a $5.20 show bet at Arlington Park!

Ok I'll pose some trivia.
William Shoemaker's last mount was a New York bred competing in a California grass stakes race. Name him.

Here's some more trivia and I'm going to stick older stuff so that it just can't be googled up and create the false impression that some actually know the answers who do not! Tough luck Googlers.
Name the horse that Mike Smith chose to ride in the 1994 NYRA mile instead of Cigar, for whom the race is now named.

Personal Ensign defeated males in the 1988 Whitney Handicap at Saratoga. There were actually only two other horses in the race. Name them.

In 1993 Shug McGaughey won 5 graded stakes race on one program at Belmont. He also had an allowance winner on that card named Regal Solution. Miners Mark won the JCGC, Lure won the Kelso, Strolling Along won the Lawrence Realization, Heavenly Prize won the Frizette, and Dispute won the Beldame.
There was only one other grade one on that program, the Champagne, and McGaughey's horse ran third. Name the winner and McGaughey's horse who ran 3rd.
