I want to see just how sharp you guys are. Below are 20 DrugS style trivia questions on horse racing--some pretty tough questions! Whoever posts the most answers right by 6PM Eastern tomorrow wins. In case of a tie, the first post wins. The prize for winning will be either the Handicapping Video 'Spotting The Ready To Win Racehorse' It's a body language video with Joe Tackach or a homemade video tape that shows the lifetime races of Point Given, Ruffian, and Ghostzapper.
#1. This horse had a lifetime record of 24-wins from-24 starts between the distances of 7 furlongs-to-1 1/4 miles. 14 of the wins came in Grade 1 company, and six of the wins either set or equaled track records. Name this horse.
#2. Secretariat was the betting favorite in 20 of his 21 lifetime starts. Only one start in his life did he not go to post as the favorite. Name the horse who was made a 3-to-5 favorite over "Big Red" in the 1972 Sanford Stakes.
#3. Only one horse in the history of racing has won 3 or more Grade 1 races by 10 lengths each. Name the only horse to ever win three different Grade 1 races by 10+ lengths each.
