The record was 6 furlongs on turf, not 6 1/2 like I previously said.

What a handsome boy.

Thanks, Moodwalker.

I'm really enjoying this thread, though I'm so ignorant. It's very humbling.
I really don't have a clue about some of the trivia, but it helps me learn.
Here's one for you:
The year, 1977.
Two year olds face each other.
One is named Affirmed, one is Alydar.
This was a "fair and square" stakes. Not like Alydar's win via DQ in the Travers when they were three year olds.
Alydar won it, and got me "hooked on racing".

Name the race.

The answer to my question is that Jack Sullivan and David Junior are named for their owner's two sons.
