Was that the horse that won the same race twice in one year?

Nope. That wasn't his two minutes of fame.

Was that the horse that went through the hedge and jumped in the pond?

No it was not.
On closing day of 1993 at Saratoga, a huge carryover had accumulated.
The pik-6 ran on races 3-8 back then.
Nobiz like Showbiz crossed the line first in the 7th race, a grass allowance at 8-5 odds.
Shortly after he crossed the line an inquiry sign lit up the tote board, and he was disqualified. Pat Day and Pete Vestal's horse was placed first at 20-1, and in the next race Strategic Maneuver won the Spinaway, and some very happy pick-6 players got back 115 grand rather than the small amount they would have gotten had Nobiz Like Showbiz not been disqualified.
