I went through the same thing with a guy on Bloodhorse that wrote the same basic article today.

In other news related to the race, lets see if we can guess which horses will be bought out...errrrr...scratch out.

Doug send an email or make a call. Im sure you know someone who knows someone. This seems pretty clear cut and it should be recognized.

Did that bottom horse in the list really have 340 lifetime starts at the time of printing?

It says he was 7 at the time. If he started at 2 that would be an average of 63 starts a year. The Sugar Ray Robinson of horses.

It absolutely amazes me that other publications are still reporting incorrect information. . . Drugs, did your comment get deleted on Paulick Report?

I don't know -- I just left one there and no one replied back when I looked an hour or two later.

Like Jon White said -- there is no Elias Sports Bureau for horse racing and the record keeping for this sport is an absolute joke.

I saw DRF pulled the article for a couple days -- but they put it back up -- and still claim Citation is tied with Roseben -- even though Roseben was before Donald Macdonald.

The most amusing thing to me is that Donald Macdonald won his 19th and 20th race of the year at Laurel...the same place where Laurel's press release claims he can tie the record of 19 with a win.

From Reuters...


Quote:
LAUREL, Maryland, Dec 5, - A horse that nobody wanted a year ago is suddenly on the verge of breaking one of the most coveted records in North American thoroughbred racing
If this wins in a calender year record is really "one of the most coveted records in North American thoroughbred racing" ... wow.

Sports Illustrated, ESPN, and Reuters have all picked this stuff up... so I guess the "record" is giving horse racing some positive attention.

No Brakes...doesn't Sancuk train for Cole? On another note Derwin's Prospector looks like a real threat in there.

No Brakes can win that race. I would play that pick 3 because the 2 races after it are decent allowance races. If it stays together, meaning no scratches Ill play No Brakes.

I'm sure he was just entered to make the race fill. He won't run. You guys do realize the cash and horses are changing hands to keep this ridiculous streak going, right?

We called up the Jockey Club today to confirm Donald Macdonald's record. . . they looked it up and, low and behold, Doug got it right. . .

The guy from Bloodhorse keeps telling me some of the wins in 1913 were in Mexico and at least one in Canada, but I don't see it looking at those PPs.

I didn't do a lot of research on the connections this time, but I'm guessing RR scratches out.

Scooter Davis is a notorious cheat.

He's been suspended more often than any other trainer in America... this is one of his best training jobs...




Here's Mountaineer trainer Ralphie the Cat on Scooter getting caught on his 31st Last Chance.

Makes this comment from Cole all the more funny.

“He just started training for me,” Cole said. “He’s fantastic out there at Charles Town with sprinters going 4 1/2 furlongs. I plan on using him for the time being for the next few years.”
