2nd Tidal Stk
Top earner of 1904.
Rated the co-champion American three-year-old male of 1904 with Ort Wells, but exactly how good Delhi was will never be known. The latter part of his racing career was marked by lackluster performances, which may have been due to "sponging" (having small sponges inserted deep into the nostrils to cut off the horse's wind). The sponges were discovered after one of the last few races of Delhi's career.
