and didn't the horse who won 22 start 36 times that year? that's what it looks like to me.


edit~found this, while looking for what delineates modern from pre-modern:


It’s not with frequency that a $14,900 starter allowance event has historic implications. But that will be the case when Rapid Redux goes to the post in Monday’s eighth race at Mountaineer Casino Racetrack & Resort.

The five-year-old gelding will be shooting for his 20th consecutive victory. No other North American Thoroughbred has managed to do that since the nineteenth century.
