Gen. Duke.. 1957.

Widely acknowledged at Calumet as the best horse they ever bred.. including Citation. Set a 9f FL Derby stakes (and track) record that stood for 40+ years.. Split 4 decisions with Bold Ruler and would have gone off favored in the famed '57 Derby but scratched with a hoof bruise Friday. Developed the wobbles at 4 and had to be put down. One of the greatest tragedies in racing history.
