Over The Top

Postby Terlingua » Thu Jan 06, 2011 5:04 pm

I am looking for information on a colt named Over The Top (1934) by Man O' War ex. Cresta (Whisk Broom II). He won 5 races and died in 1940, apparently without any progeny. I own a photo of him working with War Admiral. I would like to know who owned and trained him and how he died. If he had any progeny (none listed here) I would also like to know about them.
Thanks, in advance!

Search the archive using the box in the upper right hand corner:

http://kdl.kyvl.org/drf/

There are many hits, including this one (paragraph 10):

Tips: employ the "not sorted" option to get things organized by date. Employ the decade options on the left side of the page to get to the 1930s, 1940s.

best stride but failed to enter contention
