I know nothing about German horse racing. You're asking the wrong guy.

It doesn't seem likely Hitler owned that horse, but the rest of the story for the undefeated star is pretty odd. Taken as war booty, auctioned off to some Americans, including Penny Chenery's father, and becoming a roadside attraction is pretty odd.

How come no love on here for Buckpasser?

Because the thread is about the botched time of the 1973 Preakness and it hadn't spun off to him yet.

Undefeated anythings are almost always overrated.

The ROI on undefeated race horses after two or three races would be terrible.

give it time, a lot of horses haven't gotten mention yet. round table is one i feel just doesn't get as much respect as he should. definitely underrated.
