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!!
