edit~found this, while looking for what delineates modern from pre-modern:
It’s not with frequency that a $14,900 starter allowance event has historic implications. But that will be the case when Rapid Redux goes to the post in Monday’s eighth race at Mountaineer Casino Racetrack & Resort.
The five-year-old gelding will be shooting for his 20th consecutive victory. No other North American Thoroughbred has managed to do that since the nineteenth century.

If that is the definition of "modern", then Citation does not hold the record for wins in a year as has been cited many times lately. There are two different records. I'm not questioning the 20 in a row.
