‘undercover’ horse who won races for the FBI
" 2019 marks the 30th anniversary of a case involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation that centered on Finger Lakes racetrack in upstate New York, where the FBI actually campaigned an ‘undercover’ racehorse during much of 1989."

Actually I remember a horse running for the IRS. My memory is failing me on this, but it was a really good Grade 1 horse. The IRS went after the owner and I think they actually took ownership but wanted to keep running it to recover what they thought they were owed. Really bizarre story.
I swear the IRS was listed in the owner line in the DRF. Steve will remember that. |

I had thought it was Devil His Due and it was. He was a really nice looking, almost jet black horse. He was a serious runner. First time I saw him at the track I just knew this was a race horse
This story by Barbara Livingstone shed some light on it. I swear I saw IRS in the owners listings in the pp's on his races at one point. He was a real good horse. https://classic.drf.com/blogs/giving-devil-his-due There was a mention that he never raced on Lasix. Most of his races were in NY and it was still outlawed back then there. Allen wouldn't give a horse Lasix if he didn't need it. |
