Golden Arrow (Foaled April 9, 1961–19??) was a Thoroughbred race horse that endeared himself to many New Englanders during the 1960s + 70s. Golden Arrow won 58 times in his extensive career . The Thanksgiving Day Handicap at Lincoln Downs in 1965 was his biggest stakes win. At that point in time, he was trained by George R. Handy and ridden to victory by jockey Frankie Solimena.〔Providence Journal 11/26/65〕 Golden Arrow won 7 races as a four-year-old and 8 races as a thirteen-year-old. The gelding raced every year from age 3 to age 18.〔http://www.brisnet.com/cgi-bin/fc_display.cgi?userfile=P711741611717991〕 Narragansett Park gained national attention in the summer of 1978, when the seventeen-year-old Golden Arrow won 4 races at the track after having been worked into shape by trainer Bill Sienkewicz of Land's End Farm. Much of the training took place on the beaches of Buzzards Bay. Golden Arrow was owned by Louis A. Filios and bred in New Jersey. The horses story was documented by Sports Illustrated in the September 03, 1979 issue. Debbie Riemers, an apprentice jockey, rode the old favorite in all of his victories that summer.〔http://si.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1095337/index.htm〕 The gelding won 5 races out of 7 starts in 1978. His last victory occurred at the Great Barrington Fair on 9/25/78. "I bet on that horse ten years ago", was a common refrain. ==References== * (Golden Arrow'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「Golden Arrow (Horse)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
