The horse he rode on his famous ride belonged to Deacon Larkin I believe it was named Brown Beauty. He did own another horse but I can't remember the name. It was an american quarter horse. Perhaps Molly Bea. Fuzzy history.

Chris McCarron's Kentucky Jockey School is the only one that comes to mind, but it is in KY.\n\nnews.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=30352\n\nOther than that, I would contact Lone Star Park in Texas or Louisiana Down in LA, and ask themn where you could find such a school.

It was a black Arabian Stallion.\nThe had a couple of doubles, but I knew this horse quite well.  It was a beautiful film.\nI enjoyed all of the Walter Farley books.  They were quite wonderful and they are what got me started in breeding Arabians.....smile\nThe Black that was used, his name for real was:  Cass-Ole

Man O' War is the grand-sire of Seabiscuit. Man O' War ran in 1919 and 1920, Seabiscuit ran in 1935 to 1940. \nBut Seabiscuit almost ran against War Admiral( Man O' War's colt), the triple crown winner in 1937, but it was canceled when Seabiscuit became ill. When the two finally met, on Nov. 1938, War Amiral was an overwhelming favorite at 1-4, with Seabiscuit at 2-1. Seabiscuit won by 4 lenghts and grabbed Horse of the Year in 1938.

Definitely, Talladegega, Alabama! The fastest, most exciting racing happens there and it's only 20 miles from my house!

Barbaro appears to be a good horse but I favored Brother Derek in the Kentucky Derby and knew that with the post postion he had that it would be a difficult trip and the way he finished was extremely impressive and showed that if he had a better trip he would have at least made it a horserace if not winning it altogether, let's not forget that he is a grandson of Alydar whose heart and courage and speed was enormous and I believe this has been passed on plus he is from the Raise a Native sireline which has had great success in the "classic" races, (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes).Boxing the two of them would be smart and for the trifecta I would maybe throw Diabolical in the mix.

In horse racing the first horse across the finish line is in the money. The second horse across is in the show place. This is from a song from the forties. If you were to go to the track today you would find Win Place Show, first second third. These are catagories of talking about the winnings of a horse.

To name a thoroughbred takes a serious effort.  There are certain rules one must go by.  Check the referenced web site and you will see what I mean.  However, if I owned a beautiful race horse like you asked, I would call him:  MUDINYOUREYE\nFor a filly/mare it would be:  MUDINYOUREYE\n\nThe reason is because I would expect my horse to be in front kicking up mud in the eyes of all the other race horses.

1999 Charismatic, ch. c.  Robert and Beverly Lewis  Parish Hill Farm and W. S. Farish  D. Wayne Lukas  1:55.3/5.\n\n\n\nCharismatic, who came within two lengths of becoming the 12th Triple Crown winner, has become the latest North American stallion or stallion prospect to be sold to Japanese interests.\n \nThe six-year-old son of Summer Squall will relocate to Japan after being sold to the Japan Racing Association for an undisclosed price in a deal brokered by bloodstock agent Rollin Baugh. Charismatic had stood his first three seasons at William S. Farish's Lane's End near Versailles, Kentucky. \nWinner of the 1999 Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness Stakes (G1), Charismatic retired to Lane's End after suffering career-ending fractures in his left front leg in the Belmont Stakes (G1), in which he finished third, only 1 ½ lengths behind Lemon Drop Kid. Charismatic stood his first three seasons for $35,000.\n\nCharismatic's first crop of yearlings was well received at the summer and fall yearling sales, and 38 have been sold this year for an average of $70,295 and median of $42,000. The group includes a half sister to Point Given, out of the Turkoman mare Turko's Turn, purchased by Eugene Melnyk for $450,000 at the Keeneland September sale. Melnyk also purchased a colt out of the Strike the Gold mare Elusive Gold for $260,000 at the September sale. \n\nBred in Kentucky by Farish and Parrish Hill Farm, Charismatic is out of the Drone mare Bali Babe, who is also the dam of Grade 1 winner Millennium Wind, Grade 2 winner Tossofthecoin, and stakes-placed winners Bahatur and Constant Demand. \n\nCharismatic, who won five of 17 career starts and earned $2,038,064, rose to the top of his generation in one of the more unique scenarios in recent racing history. \n\nAfter winning just one of seven starts as a two-year-old and losing his first two starts at three for owners Bob and Beverly Lewis, Charismatic was entered in a $62,500 claiming race at Santa Anita Park by trainer D. Wayne Lukas. The colt responded with a victory via disqualification. \n\nHe then finished second in an allowance race at Santa Anita, second by a head in the El Camino Real Derby (G3) at Bay Meadows Race Course, and fourth in the Santa Anita Derby (G1) won by General Challenge. \n\nCharismatic jumped unexpectedly into the Triple Crown picture with a sharp victory in Keeneland's Coolmore Lexington Stakes (G2) just 15 days after the Santa Anita Derby, then scored his upset Kentucky Derby win under jockey Chris Antley another 14 days later. \n\nCharismatic proved his Derby was no fluke two weeks later at Pimlico Race Course with a 1 1/2-length win over Derby runner-up Menifee in the Preakness. Although apparently suffering fractures in the latter stages of the Belmont, he crossed the wire in third before Antley pulled him up and cradled his injured leg—a move that many credited with saving the horse's life—until veterinarians could assist him.\n\nCharismatic underwent subsequent successful surgery to repair the injury and bred a full book of 106 mares in 2000. \n\nCharismatic joins dual classic winner War Emblem, champion sprinter Squirtle Squirt, and Grade 1 winner Swept Overboard, who were sold earlier this year, in moving to stand in Japan.—Tom Law.\n\nHowever, in 1993, the Belmont Stakes was won by Julie Krone on board Colonial Affair, on a dark and rainy day in New York. During the race, Prairie Bayou, winner of the Preakness, who went off as one of the top choices, broke his leg and had to be destroyed.

I'm gonna have to go with Bluegrass Cat this year.  Tod Pletcher is his trainer and with John Velazquez riding him I think he has the best chance. Then again I didn't pick Giaccomo last year. (who knew) If I were to box a trifecta today I'd pick Bluegrass Cat with First Samurai and Brother Derek, but things could change. With Acciles of Troy and Corinthian looking good this could all change. Key races like  the San Anita, Florida, Arkansas, Illinois Derby's along with the Wood, Rebel, Lafayette and Blue Grass just to name a few are some of the big races leading up to the Derby. So I'll get back to you after the Coolmore Lexington and let you know my pick's then! LOL !

There are world records at all kinds of distances and surfaces- best horse on turf, over fences, etc.\nHorses race from 220 yards (a quarter mile) to 100 miles.\nIt's hard to pick the fastest horse when there is such a range! \n\nFor pure speed, world records, and impression on people at the time, the top American racehorse is probably Secretariat or Man O'War, and in the UK, Red Rum or Arkle.
