In preparing to write an article, I was astounded at how many bits of trivia I THOUGHT I KNEW, weren't right. Zippy is NOT the champion loser. A foal of 1950 named Thrust lost 105 times..

For those really into the tirvial, name 5 horses, with at least 7 starts, which finished UNDEFEATED other than Personal Ensign.

Did Thrust lose 105 straight as a mdn? You can have 105 losses, just clarifying, that the horse never won.

Over 80% of modern thoroughbreds have Eclipse in thier pedigree. You can say he was the most influential sires in the history of modern racing.

Is that a typo for Kincsem mare, or did she really win 54 times w/o a defeat?
