I remember him well. He'd run dead last until the top of the turn and then come with a calvary charge to catch 'em at the wire, bad legs and all. $4000 claimers were his high end. Back then there were lots of $2500 and $3500 claiming races he ran in. If I remember correctly, Maxwell G won his 50th race when he was 13 years old. The 50th win was an automatic induction into the racing hall of fame but the frauds who ran that place got their noses out of joint because a cheap claimer didn't deserve to be there even though Maxwell qualified by their own rules. Dave Feldman wrote many articles railing
against the Hall of Fame for stiffing this horse and organized a letter writing campaign to get the organizers to pull their heads out of their asses and induct Maxwell G, which they never did.
