Its a Small World
 

I just moved down to South Florida to work on this 123racing.com project and moved into a condo near the beach. One of my neighbors, who I met this evening, is also involved in the horse racing industry. Cool story.

He is an older gentlemen by the name of Dash Goff, he owns and pinhooks horses, and he gave me a Fred Stone print and scrapbook from his most famous horse, Nodouble.

Nodouble was a great horse who even beat Damascus back in the late 60's. He won the Michigan Mile (beating damascus), The Hawthorne Gold Cup twice (once in 1:59 1/5), the Brooklyn Handicap (2:00 2/5 against wind in backstretch), The Metropolitan Handicap (track record at the time 1:34 3/5 against the wind again), the San Pasqual Handicap (1:40 2/5 for mile 1/16 - track record), the Californian Stakes (1:40 2/5), the Santa Anita Handicap (2:01 4/5), the Arkansas Derby (1:50 mile 1/8).

He also has horses with Bob Holthus, who is an old friend of mine (old in the relative terms that I am only 23). It is such a small world!!

Where in South Florida did you move to? I was born and raised in South Florida. Most my family is still down there.
