The name escapes me but in the 90's there was a NY horse who was a cut below the really good horses. He used to run in real short fields and would always plod around the track and pick up a nice check in each race even if he finished last. And he ran a lot. He might never have won but back in the day horses were a lot more sound and used to run frequently. I've said it before but I grew up watching horses run at Penn National simulcast from the Meadowlands and every race had 6 alternates. The races were bad but the fields were full.
