Default Trivia

It's been a long time since one of these threads. See if you can get these without cheating on equibase or google.

This horse was a European dirt specialist. He was 4-for-4 lifetime on dirt in Europe, winning at odds of 10/1, 8/1, and twice at 5/1. Twice he won under 140lbs and in his final European dirt start he won by 8 lengths while giving the second place finisher 33 pounds in weight.

He won his American debut in the Californian Stakes at 7/1 odds before soon falling off of form. He was later claimed for $100,000 and quickly rounded back to form and eventually won back-to-back Grade 1's before falling off of form again.





Name him.

Here's a clue to make it easier. This was him at the absolute peak of his career form.

Correct. Bob Baffert claimed him for 100K and not only resurrected his career for a while... but actually got him to new career best form.


This horse is one of the all-time most overbet horse to ever finish in the top 3 in the Kentucky Derby. He was unfortunately euthanized after breaking down in the PA Derby.





Name him.
