Is that a record for most races before breaking maiden?

[Atm Stables]

probably not, but the record for futility should still belong to zippy chippy. Horse lost to a human being once. So that should tell you something.

zippy chippy won a race?

Did a little research and have found that the longest believed streak for futility belongs to a puerto rican horse. I'm not sure if this steak is still active. For what it's worth Zippy Chippy finished his career at 0 for 93 and became performing in exhibition contests racing against minor league baseball players for a couple of bucks. lol. Losing once from what I hear. Below is the article I found.

September 2007
Dona Chepa, a 9-year-old brown mare, finished last in a six-horse field at Camarero Racetrack in eastern Puerto Rico on Wednesday, a 125th consecutive loss that is believed to be the longest in horse racing history.

Track spokesman Joe Bruno said Wednesday’s loss surpasses an equine losing record of 0-124 set by Australian horse Ouroene, who raced from 1976-83.

There is no world governing body that tracks lack of success for horses, but Dona Chepa’s penchant for losing at least beats other notable marks for futility, including Ouroene, Gloria Springs (106, Japan), Thrust (105, North America) and Quixall Crossett (103, Britain).

Dona Chepa, which comes from a distinguished line of champion racers, began her woeful ways on Valentine’s Day in 2001. The closest she came to victory was in May 2003, when she finished second, Bruno said.

The star-crossed horse has won $12,971 despite results that include 22 fifth-place finishes and 90 others out of the money.

The last-place finish Wednesday wasn’t a total loss for trainer Efrain Nieves, who received a plaque from the Camarero Racetrack to mark Dona Chepa’s record-breaking streak.

My question is who went the longest and then broke its maiden...

Last Chance Bobby Rides Again

My favorite horse, who just broke an 0 for 47 streak last race for his first win,
races tomorrow night at Los Alamitos.

Could it be 2 in a row? Who knows!!
