Friday Trivia Challenge for 2/6/15

2/6/2015

2 Comments

 
It's a classic showdown for California Chrome and Shared Belief in Saturday's San Antonio Stakes (USA-II). With Hoppertunity thrown into the mix as an able deputy for sore-footed Bayern, this clash for early-season supremacy rivals the Charles H. Strub Stakes (USA-I) of 1987, which featured Snow Chief, Ferdinand and Broad Brush in a repeat of their 1986 Preakness Stakes (USA-I) tangle.

In honor of this year's San Antonio Stakes, this week's trivia question goes back to a previous winner of the race. Not content with equaling a world record in the San Antonio, he included the race in a string of five consecutive stakes won at Santa Anita. Who was he, and what were the other races he won during his streak at Santa Anita?

Hm...not a "he" but Bug Brush set a world record in the 1959 San Antonio, and added the Inglewood, margarita, Las Flores, Santa Monica, and Sequoia Handicap the same year.

Nice try, Kim, and Bug Brush was one really good filly -- thanks for the reminder of just how good she was! She isn't in the Library yet, though, and I always play fair about answers being found in there. Also, I did specify that the horse of the correct answer equaled the world record rather than setting it and that the animal in question is male.
