![]() I'm pretty sure Arromanches never won a single race in his life beyond 7 furlongs. I doubt he ever even attempted one. Arthur Wendell did his win streak in.
Everyone is knocking Unbridled Song offspring for their lack of soundness ... well, his son Unbridled Danger is nothing if not sound. This trainer has managed to get him to start 51 times since Nov 28th 2007. That's 51 starts in about 26 months. |

I have a program from May 19th, 1956. Ascot Park, between Akron and Cleveland, closed in 1966 when purchased by Eddie DeBartolo. May 19th was the running of the "Ascot Gold Cup Handicap" at two miles. The program has an ad for: NEXT SATURDAY Final Day of the 1956 Meeting Gray Ghost Handicap $3,000.....SIX and 1/2 FURLONGS For Gray and Roan Horses An aside, James Clemens, Norman Hart and Gail Parker were neck and neck for the meet riding title on that day. P. Maxwell was by far the leading trainer, with H. Jolley a distant 3rd. And a further aside, the guy who had this program had 3 tickets on the daily double at $63.20 for a nice $189.60 1956 dollar score. I bought the program on eBay. |

The last time he won - he pulled off an 18/1 upset on the lead every step. Great to see the iron son of Unbridled's Song finally win for the small-fry trainer. |
