Trivia Question

blackthroatedwind · #1 03-19-2009, 07:30 PM

I was discussing some horses from the past 30 or so years today with a friend at Aqueduct and one of my favorites from the past came up.

This horse still holds a dirt track record at Saratoga when he won a race after making his prior start in Europe ( and probably his only start over there ). Name him.

Jolley trained General Assembly but I don't recall if GA won the Travers in the mud off a victory in Europe

At least the your posting quality remains consistent.

There are only 4 track records standing from the 70's:
General Assembly; Spanish Riddle; Topsider and Darby Creek Road

Did he successfully have his leg amputated? I can't find PP's for these horses!

You said 30 years or so ago....only other horse close to that was Winter's Tale.

I think we already established that Winter's Tale isn't the horse.
