From the archives: Zippy Chippy, the losingest race horse
Рет қаралды 20,130
26 күн бұрынHe was a history-making thoroughbred that never won a single race in 100 starts. In a story originally broadcast June 8, 2003, Bill Geist visits Zippy Chippy (a grandson of Kentucky Derby-winner Northern Dancer), and talks with Zippy's owner, trainer and faithful companion Felix Manserrate, who never gave up on his underdog horse, as they prepared for a race at the Northampton Fairgrounds in Northampton, Mass., which ended with a surprising finish.

The trainer died in 2015 and Zippy died in 2022. I hope they're together and winning.

Except racehorses aren't bred for love. Most end up as dog food if they don't win or bring in money. 😢 Zippy is "lucky" he was able to attempt so many races.

People are so very cruel, there is nothing wrong with him he is just not a good race horse but he is a good horse and wonderful pet for someone who cares about him.

Taken from wiki Zippy Chippy's 100th loss occurred on September 10, 2004, in the Northampton Fair at the Three County Fairgrounds. He went off at odds of 7-2, making him the second betting choice; however, Zippy Chippy finished last.

A fine story from Willie Geist's old man... The odds were good from fans betting him up (racing is para-mutual)... You know that the owners got nothing back on stud fees (where the steady money is in horses), because he was a gelding...

THE ZIPSTER ENDED HIS CAREER WITH 100 STARTS - 0 wins 8 seconds 12 thirds and had career earnings of $30,834. Rumour has it he’s still looking for a mate or even friends out on the farm…poor guy

It takes something to run a horse one hundred times when the animal has zero chance of winning. That makes no sense.
@nancychace8619 23 күн бұрын
Is he still with us? I get the impression he missed his calling. He may not have been cut out to race, but might have done well otherwise, or even just a farm pet. Some retired racehorses make excellent jumpers, for example.

@@RosebudBB At least he was consistent. My understanding is 31 is a pretty good long life for a horse. That's a good track record 🙂
