Old Past Performances - Pace and Cap

Seven Furlongs · 03-26-2015, 05:47 PM

Not sure if there is a thread like this, but I thought it would be neat to collect some of the older past performances of notable or legendary past performances.

Here are Man O' Wars past performances heading in to his match race with Sir Barton:

I hope the Jockey Kummer spared the whip on that race 3rd from the top, the 13 furlong race. Man O' War only won by a mere 100 lengths.

Very cool to look at ! Almost 100 years ago......Saratoga, Aqueduct, Belmont, and Pimlico on that PP- all still pumping today. One thing that comes to mind when looking at this is how every year around Derby time, the mainstream media (for instance Tim Layden of Sports Illustrated) portrays horse racing as a dying sport. He will no doubt write that again in a few weeks. I wonder if he has ever been to a track? I was at Tampa Bay Downs on a Thursday in February and could barely find a parking place. The Kentucky Derby gets as many attendees as the Daytona 500! Anyway thanks for sharing -
