Description:
In an era when many race horses are retired to stud after their three-year-old year, Forego stands out as a giant for his ability to win graded stakes races while almost always carrying the heaviest weight in the field. Though he started his career in 1973 (Secretariat's year), he did not peak until he turned four. He race frequently from ages 4-7, and earned the Eclipse Awards for Horse of the Year for three consecutive years as well as the Eclipse awards for Champion Older Male for four consecutive years. In all, this indomitable horse won 34 times out of 57 starts.
