If ever there was a thread for Doug and his scanner this is it. I am waiting for the obscure Yavapi horse who is 0-15 but gone off as the fave in 9 races. Do me proud Douglas.

Wasn't Nationalore good enough?

0-for-26 Cal Bred who hit the board in the Breeders Cup Juvenile?

Wilco won the Breeders Cup Juvy and I had him. Isn't that enough? The Juvy is dreadful many years, the Juvy turf just as dreadful. I need to see Nationalore's running lines and odds to give you this one.

I suppose it's a good answer from someone who follows horse racing two days a year (Kentucky Derby day and Breeders Cup day) and has no idea how great Sunday Silence was.

This might be a good question for a bridgejumper ... provided he didn't actually jump

This is extremely obscure but in the late '80s in northern california there was a horse named Tootsiepop who finally broke her maiden in her 27th start after finishing 2nd or 3rd 13 times and IIRC always (or almost always) went off at 3-1 or less.

Aguila,was the horse around the same time that a co worker of mine played and lost everytime he started. A closer at Santa Anita that never got there.

There was a horse in California a few years back named King Palm who was second in a bunch of maiden races before he finally won, nearly always as a favorite. He wasn't a bad horse - his lifetime record is 26/2-12-2 and $185,420 in earnings - but he was a beaten favorite way too often.

Unless I am mistaken he lost as heavy favorite in BC Juvenile, Derby, Preakness and BC Classic

Sure he won more then he lost but at very short odds

I think Easy Goer was just a slight fav over Sunday Silence in the Preakness and the BC Classic. Not sure about the Derby. And wasn't he 2nd choice in the Belmont, which he did win?

Man I loved Perfect Drift. We always talked about the simple All/ Drift/ All trifecta and how regularly it paid. It is a shame that his owner didn't take him away from Murray until Drift was past his prime.
