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

As we anxiously await the 2012 Belmont Stakes today's Proust Questionnaire, Racing Edition, introduces us to Belmont Stakes-winning jockey Heliodoro Gustines, who rode Stage Door Johnny to victory in the race in 1968.Read More
  • BrianZipse · Love it Melaina ... The Napoleon answer caught me off guard, as did the Stage Door Johnny response considering all the times he rode Forego. Very interesting! · 3 days ago ·

Here's another great, phenomenal runner who keeps getting worse scores all the time. Absurd.
You know. The best part about debating which horse might have been the greatest,is that you could count on that horse and jockey giving you that thrill of making the run you expected. Just like Zenyatta recently,you know she would be coming at the end. So few can give you that thrill. I always prefered to watch Forego.
  • buckpasser · Forego was an incredible horse. He and the Shoe suited each other perfectly. Forego's run under 137 in the 1976 Marlboro Cup was one for the ages. · 13 days ago ·

Forego had a great finishing kick to win races right at the wire. What racehorse was the best closer in the stretch? For fillies it might be Zenyatta. How about colts? John Henry? Silky Sullivan?

  • LAZMANNICK · No argument from me. I might place Count Fleet a little higher. Two honorable mentions are Buckpasser and Round Table. If Buckpasser wouldn’t have been injured and would have competed in the TC races (the same year he won 13 in a row) I have no doubt he would have won the TC (he defeated the winners of all three races that year), and in doing so he would be considered probably in the top six or seven. Round Table raced in what is arguably the best three year old crop ever in N/A. He won carrying huge weights, at distances as short as 4F and as long as 13F, and was probably one of America’s all time best turf horses though he is possibly best remembered for his prowess on dirt. Certainly a great lot of horses. · 131 days ago ·

Monmouth Park’s biggest day of the year is the Haskell. There is great racing and a really big crowd. A lot of the crowd comes to increase their collection of racing memorabilia with the traditional Haskell Hat giveaway. Monmouth has been giving hats away since at least 1988.Read More

She is the only horse ever to win three Breeders' Cup races of any kind. In three months she will no doubt be favored to win an almost unbelievable fourth consecutive BC Mile.

Who are the greatest horses of all-time? It’s amazing how such a seemingly simple question can elicit such a varying array of passionate answers. Some swear there will never be another like Man O’ War, while others think the more recent Big Red was the improved version. Read More
