*Bred in Florida, both Northern Dancer and Mr. Prospector’s blood flow through my veins.
*I won my first three career races and earned my first two stakes wins under the twin spires.
*My six career stakes wins were at five different distances.
*My racing career consisted of three seasons, with similar successes in each year.
*I raced on turf and dirt, but all of my wins were on one surface.
*I ran at ten tracks in seven states, but I was a winner at only five tracks in three states.
*This chestnut was never a downtown kind of guy.
*Churchill Downs was my favorite track, with my only loss there coming in the Kentucky Derby.
*I only ran once in anything other than a stakes race, and I won 33% of my career starts.
*Who was my favorite owner? I can not say, I had so many of them.
*My dad played ball, my mom played the harmonica.
You should know by now … Who Am I ???
I'll start with Dixieland Band as he fits the 33% category.
ReplyDeleteMichael, your guess brings only silence today.
ReplyDeleteyou repeated *My six career stakes wins were at five different distances.
ReplyDeleteI feel cheated. Ha!
is that another clue?
ReplyDeletei need an advil...did you get them to sponsor this yet?
ReplyDeleteBilly, Check again, I think you are seeing double!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention that Sid...Zip Zap Zo also makes headache powder!
ReplyDeletemean! I thought you'd at least replace it!
ReplyDeleteOne more for Mr. Huntington...
ReplyDeleteaaarggggh!
ReplyDeleteLimehouse!
ReplyDeleteWe have a winner ... Seaneff!!!
ReplyDeleteGood job Seaneff!!
ReplyDeleteTell us how you did it Seaneff...
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I thought was that if you win your first career 3 starts and 2 stakes wins, you must have won the bashford manor. So I looked up who had won the Bashford Manor and I saw Summer Squall who was owned by Dogwood (lots of owners) and I thought he was it but then I looked and saw he didnt have Mr. P. Then I saw Limehouse and knew it had to be especially since he is by Grand Slam out of a Dixieland Band mare! Once you peel away some of the layers it turned out to be pretty easy haha.
ReplyDeletehaha, went thru limehouse on pedigreequery there after the right answer was got, and none of the clues were right... so it wasnt the Limehouse foaled in 71 then!
ReplyDeleteWell done Sean! (a first-time champ) Your reasoning was spot on. Limehouse is today's answer and also is the sire of Derby hopeful Uptowncharlybrown from his first crop.
ReplyDeleteNice Seaneff! I was sort of doing similar - cross reference ch. Derby losers with WHAS (or Three Chimneys Juvenile now) winners. Should have moved further ahead in the meet!
ReplyDeleteAt least Marti and I are still tied (right?)
Right-O Billy, but Sean is the reigning champ. C, you were off by more than 30 years! LOL
ReplyDeletei like the new timing, 10 pm over here. can totally concentrate on who am i!
ReplyDeletewell i totally goofed. I read the second clue to mean that the first three wins and first two stakes were at churchill, not just that he won his first three starts period, so I screwed myself from the start. No one I couldn't get anywhere. lol
ReplyDeleteWell, I joined a little late, but had no real exuse. Nice job Seaneff!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Brian! I didn't get to this today! Something told me I should! I was reading it and I came across your "This chestnut was never the Downtown kind of guy" and I KNEW!!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!! Thanks SO MUCH FOR THIS! I enjoyed it IMMENSELY!!!!! I HAVE to forward to everyone!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're the BEST!!!!! You made my day! :-)
Jen, LOL. Uptowncharlybrown was definitely my inspiration for today's game...and, of course, that was my favorite clue.
ReplyDeletezipster you could be on to something here.....well lets hope you are....i have this good feeling that ky derby goes thru fla this year....this charly compares favourably with curlin .....12-13 weeks and 80lbs of work related muscle could be the determining factor....derby horses are born not bred....go figure...who said that....2010 make it happen....BABY!!!!!!! as of right now WINSLOW IS ALSO A TOP CONTENDER......
