What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Ack Ack...

My daughter's favorite horse, simply because of his name. She enjoys watching his races, finding it hysterical to hear his name. Got to start them young.

  • jay s. · I saw Pepe LePew and the black cat run off the side of a cliff, of course they kept moving horizontally through the air. Pepe acted like a waist gunner in a B-17 and started shooting at her, yelling "Ack-Ack-Ack-Ack-Ack." He then told her, "I've shot you with the Ack-Ack of love." · 79 days ago ·

In either of the last two winners, Game On Dude or Ron the Greek, this year’s edition of the Big 'Cap should have a winner in which the fans can be proud. Read More

  • Mary Z. · That inquiry in the Santa Anita Handicap of 2011 was so controversial at the time. maybe it shouldn't have been, once the order of events was clear. Game On Dude was doing fantastically coming into that race with his allowance won over When We Met, though, as I think he is for this year's running. I like Ron The Greek very well, but I really think I'll stick with The Dude. Mike Smith should have him budget out his speed, and win at Dude's favorite track. About the Sunshine Millions, it was a two horse race for the past two years. This year, with Mucho Macho Man out of it early, Ron The Greek was an easy winner. Game On Dude didn't face much in his prep in the San Antonio either. Looking forward to the meeting of two top males, and the very good gelding Called To Serve. Dude, Ron The Greek, Called To Serve. · 81 days ago ·

  • icyhotboo · I haven't seen a form for the race but of the horses familiar to me RTG is usually in top form this time of the year. Game On Dude, if there isn't a horse in there that can force him to the 3/4 in 1:11.0 he'll have it all his own way. · 81 days ago ·

  • travel_vic · I took a newbie to the track and he wanted to know why horses not in a race came to the paddock and I mentioned that they were schoolers learning to get used to the sound and commotion. One looked like he was not a baby and I was just about to say something when Harry Henson announced that it was Ack Ack schooling for the Hollywood Gold Cup. never foget that faux pas · 200 days ago ·

Ranked too high on this list; I would him in maybe mid 50s.
Before 1936, there were no formal championship titles in American racing. Horses that racked up the greatest earnings and the most stakes wins in their divisions were called champions. The horse acclaimed the best of the year was often the one with the highest earnings of all, a convention that neat...Read More
On Gold Cup Eve, while most fans are busy handicapping the big race, I found myself in a slightly more nostalgic mood, and the Hollywood Gold Cup is an easy race for which to wax poetic. Seabiscuit and Citation, Swaps and Round Table, Native Diver and Ack Ack, Ferdinand and Cigar, Skip Away and Lava...Read More

  • cmymcadoo · When Can we expect Un-"B"-lievable Stakes from Belmont? Will it be run on Bastille Day? I think you should run the whole alphabet. It would be tremendous fun! You can post a poll for 2 days prior to the running and maybe give away random gifts (hats, t-shirts, etc.) to one of those who picked the winners. · 690 days ago ·

With all the excitement of the recently completed Triple Crown, I have not had a chance to venture into the racing laboratory of late. I put a stop to that trend late last night.

Glad to see Ack Ack in the top twenty. I adore this horse!
E.E. "Buddy" Fogelson owned him, and Charles Whittingham trained him, during the last year he raced. That was when he was "Horse of the Year." I thought it was fitting to add their names to the horse's information page.
