‘undercover’ horse who won races for the FBI
" 2019 marks the 30th anniversary of a case involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation that centered on Finger Lakes racetrack in upstate New York, where the FBI actually campaigned an ‘undercover’ racehorse during much of 1989."

Interesting. Good post.

Amusing story! Thanks for posting it.

Actually I remember a horse running for the IRS. My memory is failing me on this, but it was a really good Grade 1 horse. The IRS went after the owner and I think they actually took ownership but wanted to keep running it to recover what they thought they were owed. Really bizarre story.
I swear the IRS was listed in the owner line in the DRF. Steve will remember that. |
I had thought it was Devil His Due and it was. He was a really nice looking, almost jet black horse. He was a serious runner. First time I saw him at the track I just knew this was a race horse
This story by Barbara Livingstone shed some light on it. I swear I saw IRS in the owners listings in the pp's on his races at one point. He was a real good horse. https://classic.drf.com/blogs/giving-devil-his-due There was a mention that he never raced on Lasix. Most of his races were in NY and it was still outlawed back then there. Allen wouldn't give a horse Lasix if he didn't need it. |
