Sarazen the 1924 Champion Race Horse Narrated

In 1923 he won ten straight races totaling 87000. In 1924 he won eight of eleven starts and earned 895000, though gelding status kept him out of many rich stakes. He was unplaced only in the Mount Vernon Handicap, finishing last while Ordinance carried eight pounds.
