Hollycombe did not start until 5 years old. Ran 1:09 for six furlongs the first time out. (I guess they coun't catch him until he turned five and slowed down.
) He subsequently won the 1999 Del Mar Breeder's Cup Handicap(Grade 2) and was second by a neck to Kona Gold in the Grade 2 2001 Potrero Grande Breeders' Cup Handicap.
