The record was 6 furlongs on turf, not 6 1/2 like I previously said.

What a handsome boy.

Thanks, Moodwalker.

I'm really enjoying this thread, though I'm so ignorant. It's very humbling.
I really don't have a clue about some of the trivia, but it helps me learn.
Here's one for you:
The year, 1977.
Two year olds face each other.
One is named Affirmed, one is Alydar.
This was a "fair and square" stakes. Not like Alydar's win via DQ in the Travers when they were three year olds.
Alydar won it, and got me "hooked on racing".

Name the race.

Nice story. I love hearing this kind of stuff.....

The Youthful Stakes?

Nope...starts with a C.

Well I had to cheat and look it up..... the Champagne Stakes. :)

There you go Miss SC!

I feel like a moron..... and to make it worse, a moron who cheats. :D

The answer to my question is that Jack Sullivan and David Junior are named for their owner's two sons.

You are definitely not a moron!
Thanks for the names on those two.
Just curious, (cause I can't find a good "joke of the day")...
Did he have a third son that was named for his next-door-neighbor?

What jockey won the Russian Oaks five times, the Russian Derby four times, the Czar's Prize on three occasions, and the Warsaw Derby twice, not to mention 2 wins in the KY derby...?

Okay this one I know... Jimmy Winkfield.

Ha ha..... I think you shold start a thread and we can vote for the name. :p

An easy one.....

What was The Green Monkey named after?

It was either a golf course or a bowling alley. Do you play golf?

Very nice! He was named after their golf course in Barbados.

Do I play golf??? I don't know... does Big Squeeze win races?:D

Ummm..... no. You?

Use to a lot. Only occasionally now.

how is the weather on the left coast?

Wait, I have one more to add in addtiion to the golf course...it was the Chinese year of the Green/ Wood Monkey too.

Which road was the first in Florida to be funded by federal money? This road ran from east to west, crossing the St. John’s River, going from Pensacola to Tallahassee to St. Augustine.

Just a wild guess...Bellamy Road.
