Charlie Boy (March 4, 1955 – 1968) was a beloved Thoroughbred race horse in New England during the 1960s. While racing in the winter of 1959-60, Charlie Boy won the Black Gold Handicap, Christmas Handicap and Pelleteri Handicap at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans to be deemed the best sprinter on the grounds. His biggest win in New England was the 1961 John Alden Handicap at Suffolk Downs which he won by a length in 1:10 1/5 with jockey Phil Grimm up.〔Providence Journal 4/23/61〕 Charlie Boy won 58 times (mostly) for owner and trainer William W. Carroll, one of the highest totals in racing history, and a number of them were at Narragansett Park. On February 6, 1968, after suffering a catastrophic injury in training, the fan favorite was put down. The next day, Charlie Boy was buried in the Narragansett Park infield. There was a ceremony which included the playing of "Taps". ==References== * (Charlie Boy's pedigree and partial racing stats ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charlie Boy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
