On Trust (foaled 1944 in California) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse whom the Bridgeport, Connecticut, ''Sunday Herald'' called "one of the most distinguished and durable performers to come out of the state of California." His dam was Torch Rose and his sire was Alibhai, a British stallion who was imported by MGM Studios boss Louis B. Mayer to the United States to stand at his stud farm in Perris, California. On Trust was bred by Mayer, who raced him mid-way through his 1946 racing campaign, then sold the two-year-old to Earl Stice and his sons Rod and Gary, businessmen from Eagle Rock.〔(Bridgeport, Connecticut ''Sunday Herald'' – January 14.1951 )〕 Trained by future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee William Molter, On Trust earned his only win at age two in the California Homebred Stakes at Bay Meadows Racetrack. ==Triple Crown races== When On Trust was three, Ralph Neves rode him to a victory in February 1947 Santa Maria Handicap 〔(''Los Angeles Times'' - February 2, 1947 )〕 that put him on the path to that year's U.S. Triple Crown series. Following his win in the most prestigious race for three-year-olds on the West Coast, the Santa Anita Derby,〔(''New York Times'' - March 9, 1947 )〕 On Trust was sent off as the bettors second choice in the Kentucky Derby〔(Churchill Downs 1947 Kentucky Derby chart )〕 but finished fourth to Jet Pilot in the 1947 Kentucky Derby〔(The Madras Indian Express - May 5, 1947 )〕 and second to Faultless in the Preakness Stakes.〔(''St. Petersburg Times'' - May 11, 1947 )〕 He did not run in the third leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes.〔(''The Evening Independent'' - May 12, 1947 )〕 On Trust continued to compete at top levels into age six in 1950, a year when he equaled the Tanforan Racetrack track record of 1:50 3/5 for a mile and an eighth on dirt.〔(''Tri City Herald'' (Pasco-Kennewick-Richland, Washington - April 30, 1950 )〕 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「On Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
