I always assumed Giacomo was the worst. He was much better than some of these now that I think about it. Of course, why would I ever have thought about it before?

This list could be a mile long....

I'll start with Marylebone..

Best Pal, Olympio, and Lite Light were all in that race.


I think he updated it around Seek Gold time. New technology...

Student Council is no all-time great, but come on, the horse is a Grade I AND Grade II winner of more than $1 million. He is much better than anything else listed in this thread.

I think it's Sutra, hands down. I seriously have never witnessed a worse race in person, ever. The field was awful and they ran WORSE than awful.

cakes44 03-25-2008 03:14 PM

The reason I used "colt" in my topic was because I actually assumed everyone would go with Sutra if I just said horse. Yes, Sutra was awful.

God bless his soul, but what about A Huevo? He won the DeFrancis IIRC.

A Huevo could run - he won a Grade 1 stake sprinting (I believe with a good figure) late in the season at age 7, and had only had single digit starts in his career prior.

I could see him being on the list of most fragile Grade 1 winners ever - but he could flat out run.

KirisClown 03-25-2008 04:38 PM

Add her to the list...


The Indomitable DrugS 03-25-2008 04:49 PM

Is that Jilbab?

If so, I don't think she was all that bad. I'd have to see her PP's again though.

The Indomitable DrugS 03-25-2008 05:04 PM

Here is A Huevo's form ... note the monster layoff.



Has there ever been another horse to win a Grade 1 race in career start #7, in November of their 7-year-old season?

And keeping with the 7's - this guy ran 7th at Mountaineer two starts before his Grade 1 win.

He either won by clear margins - or was trounced in all his races.

Yeah, thats her...

Other than a win in the CCA Oaks over immortals such as Tarnished Lady and Shop Til You Drop, she didnt do much...
