Pedigree Query

PJ Pluth did a great job of tracking down 20th-century Kentucky Derby winners who won the race in their first outing at 3, but it was Frost who was definitive in naming Morvich, the 1922 winner, as the last horse to accomplish the feat. (No 21st-century runner has done it, and under the current poin...

Thanks so much Mahubah. The harder I work the luckier I get.. I won't ever forget our lovely visit when you came to my farm to attend the Breeder's Cup.. I was a horseman who was a dreamer and a neophyte. I have always deeply appreciated the opportunity to learn from all of those so much more knowl...

A new triv...

Looks like a stumper last week with my question about trainer-jockey brother duos in the Kentucky Derby. They are 1) Nick Combest (trainer) and Jimmy Combest (jockey), 7th with Mr. Moonlight in 1964; 2) Gerald Romero (trainer) and Randy Romero (jockey), 12th with Dixieland Heat in 1993; and 3) Keith...
