What horse caused a Racing Times writer named Kurt Paseka to have to pose naked in the infield(he covered himself in the strategic area) for a picture that was published in the Racing Times, by winning the Seneca Handicap at saratoga one summer? Paseka had stated in his selctions column that if this particular horse won that day, he would dance naked in the infield(the guy had guts, he actually did it)

Who was the horse who had run for a 35k claiming that gave Slew of Gold all he could handle in the Jockey Club Gold Cup.Name his trainer.This should be easy.

What phenom of Turfway Park was purchased privately before the Derby and went on to win a G1 while beating a BC Classic Winner and a Dubai World Cup Winner?


Incidentally, I don't follow breeding, but has he produced anything?

This might be a little before some of your time.

There was a time when a jockey would get a 3lb weight allowance.

1-What was the reason?
2-What was the symbol used in the racing form?
3-Who was the last one?
You guys get this you're good.

No, it was the horse with Yutaki Take, I think El Senor, in the now defunct Seneca.

What's funny is that when I teased Kurt about it on the show this year he even had the wrong horse...and then told me I was right later.

I've never met him, but he seems it. I don't play poker and I even like his columns about it.

What horse owns the second longest length victory next to Secretariat's 31 length romp in the Belmont. It was his maiden breaker at Belmont in the summer of '89...one word name and made his next start at Saratoga in the race after Easy Goer's Whitney triumph.
