Default Repeat winners

I came upon something by accident and it got me to wondering.

Here's the lead...

Just as certain as arctic temperatures and snowfall by the foot, central Nebraska is visited every winter by an arthritic old gelding who is in his element when he runs in those harsh elements. It wouldn't be February at Fonner Park without trainer Joe Moss winding up the indefatigable Leaping Plum to win the Jake Grasmick Memorial Handicap again.

Now I had never heard of him and I realize it's an old story but it made me think of Zipping, who won the Sandown Classic 4 times (it's now named for him), of Mc Dynamo and the legend Kauto Star who have each won a particular race 5 times, of Goldikova, Big Bucks, Yeats and Desert Orchid (4) and some who have won a specific race three times (Viva Pataca, Zenyatta, Beef or Salmon, Big Zeb, Famous Name, Native Diver, Makybe Diva, Rahy's Attorney, and Black Caviars new friend Voila Ici to name the few that I know and can think of off the top of my head.).

For everything I know about racing there are easily at least 20 million things I don't so who can tell me about a repeat winner that they've seen, know of, or believe everyone should know of?

I'm going through the Holy Bull thread bit by bit as I had only seen a total of ONE of his races.

That sounds horrible but it's true cause how do you ever know what you're missing when there is SO much history, so many fantastic horses and races...
