He was in the BC how many times? He holds the record, right?

How about a race named for him?

Perfect Drift?

Perfect Drift and Kona Gold both ran five times, not sure about BTN...four maybe? Nope, it was 5 also.

Thanks!

Kona Gold was before my time (in terms of racing) and the little I know about him is because of King but i didn't know this...I had no idea.

Amazingly, Kona Gold didn't even start until the end of May of his 4 yo season.

I had no idea.

The more I learn the more I realize that i know so little (that sounded illiterate but I think you know what I'm trying to say).

I think I've only seen a replay from one of his races, I'm embarrassed to say.

Off the top of your head which other horses started so late? Do any come to mind?

I can't think of any as good as him that started so late. I'm sure there probably are a few.

Although not in the league of Kona Gold, Alumni Hall (earner of $747K) won his career debut at Keeneland, when he was a 5YO.

Oh I was a fan of his and I didn't know that.

I remember when he beat Colonial Colony (who I absolutely loved) in the Maxxam Gold Cup. I don't think I had heard of him before that but I was pretty new then.

Thanks for the info.

I never realized any of them started so late.
