Two old favorites that immediately come to mind are Awesome Gem and Musketier. Who wouldn't love to have them in their barn?

13 year old West Seattle Boy squares off against spry "young'un" 12-year old Colonel Courtney in the 9th at Portland on Monday. 'Boy has won 26 of 107 starts and the Colonel is 25 for 107, and have been able to grind out a combined $570,000. Good luck and safe trip to both.

Love both too. I had meant to talk about the seniors who were entered in or had just had races but you're right we should open it up cause they're all woth talking about.

That's fantastic!

I remember Colonel Courtney and had no idea he was still racing.

Have not heard of the other gentleman but good luck to both and please update this after the race!!!

It's really nice to see people who mostly lurk here posting. Hope you both do (a lot) more often and that others follow.

Was a 10yr. old maiden that lost, I think, over 100 races in a row. It's been a while but if memory serves, he finally broke through at age 11, and the owners retired him.

Didn't want him going out a loser.

I'll see if I can dig up his pp's - He was a badass.

Would love to see the pps, Rudy.

Bold Chieftain, a mere 9 years old, will (again) be retired after this final race.

Nice that he'll be paraded for the crowd. Wish I could be there.
