Few handicap horses ever raced with as much heart as Cabildo. During six seasons of competition, he made 75 starts and achieved 22 victories, came in second 16 times and third in 11 of his efforts, while amassing career earnings of $267,265. A homebred representing Claiborne Farm as a two-year-old, Cabildo was subsequently purchased by C. E. Nicholls and then by Mrs. Joseph W. (Dorothy) Brown. It was Mrs. Brown and trainer Alcee Richard for whom Cabildo achieved his greatest triumphs. Cabildo's career record at Fair Grounds included 30 starts and 12 victories, and he also came in second eight times and was third on five occasions. His earnings at Fair Grounds totaled $135,060. Six of Cabildo's Fair Grounds efforts resulted in stakes victories. He won the 1967 New Orleans Handicap, along with renewals of the Black Gold, Christmas, Letellier Memorial, Pelleteri and Thanksgiving Handicaps. Cabildo placed in 11 other Fair Grounds stakes as well. Away from Fair Grounds, Cabildo continued to be a formidable competitor. He twice won the Louisville Handicap at Churchill Downs, and was a 2 1/2-length winner of the 1968 Midwest Handicap at Hawthorne. Cabildo won at seven distances, ranging from six furlongs to 1 1/8 miles. He was a winner at Fair Grounds every year from 1966-70 inclusive.
