Trivia Thread

[RacingFan1992]

Hey anyone out there want to start a trivia thread. The rules are simple I ask a question like "What jockey has the most breeders cup wins?" You have to have a link that supports your answer and if it is correct the first person who answered the question correctly can then ask a question.

The questions can't be so stinking hard that no one will know. When it comes to answering a question you have to wait for the person who asked the question to review your answer. They have to say your answer is correct. Only one response per question. If a question has multiple answers the person must give all answers.

Okay lets start.

Question: Name a horse who is a third generation Preakness Stakes winner?

Risen Star (1988), by Secretariat (1973), by Bold Ruler (1957)

I'd prefer to leave the next question to someone else, if I may.

That is the right answer.

Okay now that I think about it I am officially killing this thread.

The internet takes most of the challenge out of trivia questions (assuming that you're allowed to use a computer to answer them).

I took an American Foreign Policy course back in college in the early 1970's. The professor handed out the final exam on the first day of the class, to be turned in on the last day. Part of it consisted of a list of twenty obscure terms (such as "X's article" or "EOKA-B (Davies)") related to the history of the subject that each student had to identify and write a brief synopsis of. Everyone thought that the list was extraordinarily difficult (and it was, at that time), and most of us spent almost the entire semester researching it, but with Google, it would have been just a couple hours of work.

I was going to use this in a giveaway... on a Cigar Piece I made. But it got step on. I thought it was a cool trivia question.


Three Degrees Of Cigar.

Cigar won 16 consecutive races from 1994-1996.
Tying 1948 Triple Crown Winner Citation's 16 in a row 1948-1950,
that established the modern-day record at the time.
Citation also held the modern-day record for most wins in a single year at 19 races.

Name the horse that Eclipsed Citation's and Cigar's 16.
That holds the record for consecutive races won.
And tied the single year win record at 19.

The name of the horse is?
