Zippy Chippy's record in jeapordy
 
I heard there's a horse named Four Acres at Suffolk that has a 0-73 record. Anyone heard of him/her?

I don't get this at all...why would you spend all that money to keep a horse in training when I know for a fact that there are a few farms around Suffolk that re-school TB's to sell as jumpers or hunters. It's one thing if you have a horse who tries their heart out like Lord Albion or other hard knocking claimers but how do you watch a horse like that and feel like they are really into the game?

Maybe they are going for the record. It made Zippy Chippy famous.

dont worry i think would have to lose about 30-35 more for record. i believe zippy chippy received a $5000 appearance fee near the end of his "career", and sold many a hat and t-shirt (wish i had one). almost was ruined about 5 yrs ago at northhampton i was there the day he just missed by a nose. drew so much interest by then that espn and cbs sports were there filming the race
