What other great horse races are there around the world.?

Which horse has won the most races in its career ,anywhere around the world and any time period?

• Answer:

  Some candidates: Kincsem, a Hungarian racemare who was undefeated in 54 career starts; http://www.tbheritage.com/Portraits/Kincsem.html; she may be the winningest European racehorse in history. Beeswing, a very celebrated British racemare, won 51 races, which may be the record for a British-raced horse: http://www.tbheritage.com/Portraits/Beeswing.html American Champion Kingston, who in a career encompassing 138 starts, won 89 (and went on to be a leading sire) http://www.pedigreequery.com/kingston2 . Kingston is generally recognized as having won the most races in American history. Kingston retired as world's leading money winner for his time, and his durability and class put him all by himself in terms of what he accomplished during his career. Camarero, a rather obscurely-bred foal of 1951, won 73 starts in Puerto Rico during his career. He actually eclipsed Kincsem's record of 54 straight victories by winning 56 times before he was defeated. He went on to win another 17 races, for a total of 73 victories from 77 starts. He was a real anomaly: he was obviously much the best horse in Puerto Rico, but probably not good enough to have made much of a mark in American racing had he come to America. http://www.pedigreequery.com/camarero Other noteworthy winners of lots of races: Exterminator, the great gelding who won the Kentucky Derby in 1918, won 50 of his starts in a career that spanned 100 races. http://www.pedigreequery.com/exterminator Among more modern horses, champion Round Table won 43 of his 66 starts http://www.pedigreequery.com/round+table ; Kelso won 39 of his 63 starts http://www.pedigreequery.com/kelso; Forego won 34 of 57 starts http://www.pedigreequery.com/forego; Citation won 32 races from 45 starts http://www.pedigreequery.com/citation; John Henry won 39 races from 83 starts http://www.pedigreequery.com/john+henry; Fourstardave, a New York-bred who did very well, won 21 races from 99 starts http://www.pedigreequery.com/fourstardave; Who Doctor Who, a Nebraska-bred who started 64 times won 33 starts; Hallowed Dreams, a Louisiana-bred filly, won 25 of her 30 starts http://www.pedigreequery.com/hallowed+dreams; the great Native Diver had 37 wins from 81 starts http://www.pedigreequery.com/native+diver; Fort Marcy, a great gelding who was a horse of the year in some polls, won 21 races out of 75 starts; Quicken Tree, a Cal-bred favorite of the late 60's, won 15 races out of 74 starts; Seabiscuit won 33 races from 89 starts.
