Has any thoroughbred ever won 3 races in the same day since 1900?

I can't even remember the last time anyone has attempted to run a thoroughbred twice on the same day.

The last I recall was in the late 70's/early 80's.
King Leatherbury ran Fleet Don B. to a 3rd place finish at Pimlico and 2nd place finish at Penn that evening.

I recall that in the 1910's or 20's, the Latonia Championship was contested twice by top two finishers (White and Los Angeles, maybe) to settle a refusal to accept a declared dead heat. I think the same horse won both 12 furlong races - faster time the second go round.

I give you the utmost respect for remembering anything that ran at Parr Meadows!
