In his 3rd to final start -- he won a rich handicap race going 9fs at Arlington Park under 130lbs in track record time of 1:46.20 A horse named Architect -- who was voted Illinois Horse of the Year -- and a winner of 13 of 24 lifetime races including several Graded Stakes wins -- was 3rd beaten 18 lengths while carrying 11 less pounds that day in a field of six. The 2nd place finisher was also a multiple Graded Stakes winner who earned over 400K in the late 70's and 1980. Bid broke his own record for the fastest Ragozin figure ever with that race -- and it stood for over 22 years. Beyers weren't published at the time.

 Plus, this "Iron horse" had 2 full years of rest during his career... In 91 and 98 he was obviously ducking some stronger competition.

Here is a horse from 1913 who not only won 22 races in a season -- but was actually the leading money winning older horse for the entire year:  Here's a 3-year-old who won 18 races in one season -- one less than Citation:

Donald MacDonald (a gelding shipping from Santa Anita) was 3rd in the 1909 Belmont Stakes at age 3.
 Here are a couple of cuts of his form from his 22 win season in 1913:   He raced long enough that he won a race at age 12. I can't find his career record -- but I'm guessing he probably started several hundred times and won a great many races. 22 wins in one year is the best I've found for a horse who raced in the early 1900's.

Pretty fast time for a 10 furlong race on dirt one-hundred years ago. Sweep was the Broodmare sire of two Triple Crown winners (Whirlaway and War Admirel) -- he was the 3yo money leader in 1910 despite just five races.
