They should review some old DRF's on this one...

The 5-year-old Rapid Redux, trained by David Wells and owned by Robert Cole, will go for his 19th win of 2011 in Tuesday’s sixth race at Laurel, a starter allowance for horses who have run for a claiming price of $5,000 or less the past two seasons. The 1 1/16-mile race drew six other runners, including Zosogood, a winner of three straight races at Monmouth Park since mid-October.

As part of his Triple Crown campaign in 1948, Citation won 19 races, matching the single-season total by the Hall of Famer Roseben as a 4-year-old in 1905. Rapid Redux can tie that post 19th-century mark for a Thoroughbred based in the continental United States.

Donald Macdonald won 22 races in 1913 ... and as far as I can tell .. Palmetto, Charleston, Belmont, Pimlico, Havre De Grace, and Laurel are all tracks in the continental United Stakes.





Found this pretty interesting:







A young Warren Buffet would send away to Chicago and have stacks and stacks of old DRF's sent to him so he could handicap races from all over and test methods ... than go the next issue and see what happened in the result charts. Think of how incredibly psychotic and wasteful of time something like that is in the Pre-Internet era?

I think he became the richest man in the world for a short stint ... so if it was good enough for him in his teenage years ... the process wouldn't hurt anyone else in a time when technology has made it thousands of times easier, less psychotic, and FAR less wasteful of time.

I went through the same thing with a guy on Bloodhorse that wrote the same basic article today.

In other news related to the race, lets see if we can guess which horses will be bought out...errrrr...scratch out.

Doug send an email or make a call. Im sure you know someone who knows someone. This seems pretty clear cut and it should be recognized.

Did that bottom horse in the list really have 340 lifetime starts at the time of printing?

It says he was 7 at the time. If he started at 2 that would be an average of 63 starts a year. The Sugar Ray Robinson of horses.

It absolutely amazes me that other publications are still reporting incorrect information. . . Drugs, did your comment get deleted on Paulick Report?

No Brakes...doesn't Sancuk train for Cole? On another note Derwin's Prospector looks like a real threat in there.

No Brakes can win that race. I would play that pick 3 because the 2 races after it are decent allowance races. If it stays together, meaning no scratches Ill play No Brakes.

I'm sure he was just entered to make the race fill. He won't run. You guys do realize the cash and horses are changing hands to keep this ridiculous streak going, right?

That was my point with No Brakes. The Frock horse...well I'm sure you can read the PPs.

I didn't do a lot of research on the connections this time, but I'm guessing RR scratches out.

Scooter Davis is a notorious cheat.

He's been suspended more often than any other trainer in America... this is one of his best training jobs...




Here's Mountaineer trainer Ralphie the Cat on Scooter getting caught on his 31st Last Chance.

Looks like only the ridiculous horse scratched out so far. When you think about it, they have the streak record already. If they want to break the record that isn't really a record, they almost have to run now. There isn't much time left.

[Calzone Lord]

'6991' was his first race of the year 1913 - a column and result chart both confirmed this...



So his 1913 record is 5-4-0-0 at this point.






11-9-0-0 in 1913 at this point.






21-13-5-1 in 1913 at this point.



* This following past performance cut was taken from a race at Havre De Grace on Sept 28th 1913



28-17-8-1 in 1913 at this point.

[Calzone Lord]

* He would win this Sept 28th race at Havre De Grace to move to 29-18-8-1 at this point of the year in 1913.






This is the first cut of his past performances that can be found available on the Internet in the year 1914:







It's very clear that he raced at the following tracks in 1913:

* Palmetto Park in Charleston South Carolina. From there to Havre De Grace - a famous old Maryland track. From there to Pimlico. From there to Belmont Park. From there one stop at Saratoga. From there back to Havre De Grace. And Laurel for the winter. All United States racetracks.
