horses name


Question
I am looking for the name of a race horse that while running a race (sorry, don't know which race)fell and broke a leg, got back up and finished the race with a win.  After the race, this horse was put down.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Answer
Dear Christine -

Thank you for the question.  The horse that comes to mind is Dark Secret, which, although he didn't fall, did shatter a leg at midstretch in the 1934 (or maybe it was '35) Jockey Club Gold Cup, winning the race on three legs over a very good runner in Faireno.  It's a very tragic story, as Dark Secret had to be put down after his incredible victory.

I've never heard of a horse breaking down, falling, getting up, waiting for the jockey to remount, then going on to win a race.  It would all take too long.  I just can't imagine it ever happening.

Anyway, I hope this is of some interest.  Again, thanks for writing.
