Record Run of Four Winners At Hialeah Featured
Warren Wright and trainer Ben Jones sent four consecutive winners to the post at Hialeah. Earlier instances show similar feats, including Latonia in the 1990s when horses owned by T. J. Megibbin of Cynthiana Ky swept six races. Winners were either sired by Megibbin's stallion Sparingbok or by Audrain, a Springbok son. If not a record, it is close and noted as remarkable by racing observers.
