I don't know, but Coa is going to be sore tomorrow. Has anyone ever seen someone win a race after losing their irons. I'm not sure, but I think I saw Cordero do it once, or at least come real close.

I remember that race at Saratoga. Mid 80s? Cordero had his legs forward and was sitting straight up the whole trip. Almost pulled it off. Think he finished third.

That sounds about right Slewbopper, maybe late 80's. I remember he even got the whip out in the lane.

Fernando Jara lost one of his irons coming out of the gate on Jazil in the Belmont, they went on to win.

It's an easy thing to do when you're on an awesome horse.

I did see this in a Euro race and I cant find it.
So strangely enough I looked up Horse racing oddities
on U-Tube and guess what is second on the list:

Calvin B. and Chuck S. should remember this one well...

William Antongiorgy (did I spell that right?) won his first race at Hollywood Park after he lost his irons. He even stayed in a crouch. Is riding regularly up north (Bay area) these days.
