The other day I heard a story on NPR about "The Fastest Racehorse You've Never Heard Of." The horse is a sprinter called "Got Country Grip" who has been winning 350 yard races by 4, 5 and 6 lengths...an incredible feat. They say nobody knows how fast he can run b/c they've never really pushed him or let him run full out. He's undefeated, and the story says his next race is in July in Tulsa. I can't find any info beyond that, but I want to be at Fair Meadows when he runs. Anybody know when he'll be racing? (He won his 14th consecutive race in May at Remington Park.)
Here's an article from 2006:
