Looking forward to the Gallant Bob Stakes this weekend. Gallant Bob was as game a sprinter as they come that was typically over-loaded as the highweight in every race he ran. He ran on the NY/MD/PA circuit in the mid-1970's.

I especially loved his battles with Bombay Duck. I believe that the 1st stakes race that I ever cashed on was Gallant Bob winning the Paumonok Hdcp at the Big A!!

Here's an article from '78

Wow, Gallant Bob's record is even more impressive on paper than I remember.

I recall most of his competitors - Christopher R, Amerrico, Mac Corkle, Due Diligence, Our Hero, Talc, and Pompini (Arg).

Pompini (Arg), in fact, was one of my all-time favorite horses. An allowance sprinter that ran at Aqueduct and Belmont in the 1970's - he would typically start 20-25 lengths behind the field and then miraculously, he would "close from the clouds" in a 6 or 7 furlong race.

Thanks for posting !!!!

Terrific race. Another impressive effort by Bank Merger, but boy, Rule by Night ran too good to lose...

whats the cold super in the rbk race?
:zz:

There was no super. It was 8-5-1-7.
