Dutrow Filly - Four Races In 12 Days

[Calzone Lord]

This poor friggen horse made 341 starts in a span of just six years.

That's an AVG of 56.83 starts a year for six straight years!






We all know that it's speed that wins horse races and it's precocity that attracts buyers ... so the iron plodders getting fazed out plays a role on the toughness of the breed over time.

But, if a race horse could handle 341 starts in six years a hundred years ago -- what's 4 races in 12 days with a sound horse to a magician like Dutrow?

Yes, but the real question is... did he have a good home?

Did he have a good home?

He was forced to live out his days banging "common mares" in Upper Mexico ...

I'd have to say no.
