Had his 47 year streak of winning at least one race at the Saratoga meet come to an end today.

An absolutely remarkable streak, I for one am sad to see it end.

This goes in the Joe DiMaggio hit streak category. No one will ever come close to breaking this record.

It's an incredible record.

That being said with medical advancements...

Chad Brown will probably break the record and extend it past 80.
