I don't have the PPs so looked at the Hipodromo Chile's website, and randomly poked through entries for race 1 on Thursday.

Standouts:

The Great Leader, a gelding (foaled Dec 1, 2001) ran 35 times last year! (raced 6 times in December after a 4 week layoff)

143-7-8-16 $ 33,467

In the same race Supremaza, an August 2001 mare has raced 140 times (30 last year)

Another gelding 10/21/05, Power Love ran 50 of his 53 starts last year.

The baby of the bunch is a Nov 2005 maiden mare with 7 starts, Dona Firuminga

In the US, PETA would be burning down the track.

I ended up looking up all of the entries. Most would be long retired in the US or in West Virginia.

I need a life, badly.


This is rare in the US: El Simon who finished 4th today in the 5th at GP raced 32 times last year as a 3 year old.
