Description

Even as Seabiscuit is possibly the most productive-known Thoroughbred in history, Charles S. Howard owned some other remarkable racehorse that are supposed to never be forgotten. Irish-bred Noor dominated the 1950 racing season, setting world records in victories over Citation and winning the Hollywood Gold Cup by defeating a Triple Crown winner, the Horse of the Year and the former year’s Kentucky Derby winner. Sadly, that fame faded as he failed to sire champions, and Noor used to be buried in an unmarked grave in Northern California decades later. Veteran turf author Milt Toby recounts Noor’s colorful career and the inspiring story of racing enthusiast Charlotte Farmer’s personal mission to exhume the Thoroughbred’s is still for reburial in central Kentucky years after the pony used to be inducted into the hall of fame.
