Has any thoroughbred ever won 3 races in the same day since 1900?

Barry Abrams would try

i doubt you'll find another. races used to be run in heats back in the 1700 and 1800's. so they all used to run at least twice a day, or perhaps even three times if two horses won the first two heats of a particular race.

and i see ogden carried more weight in the second race. interesting stuff.

Lukas should try it in the Breeders Cup with Optimizer.

He could use the Marathon as a prep for the Turf and just run the hose over him, dry him off, and leave him out for the Classic.

For harness horses, the Hambletonian was run in heats until 1990 which could require a horse to race 3 times in one day. I believe the Little Brown Jug still is run in heats under the same format.

The most notable recent accomplishment was the Dutrow trained Golden Man running 3rd in the Long Branch Stakes and coming back the very next day to finish 2nd in the Leonard Richards Stakes.


I can't even remember the last time anyone has attempted to run a thoroughbred twice on the same day.

This was going to be my reply, closest thing I can recall.

The last I recall was in the late 70's/early 80's.
King Leatherbury ran Fleet Don B. to a 3rd place finish at Pimlico and 2nd place finish at Penn that evening.
