Friday, 10 August 2012The FOURSTARDAVE is named for the horse owned by Richard Bomze that won at least one race at Saratoga each year from 1987 to 1994.
Trained by Leo O’Brien, the New York-bred won stakes races at Saratoga in five consecutive years, including the 1988 Albany Handicap, the 1989 and 1991 West Point Handicaps, and consecutive runnings of the Daryl’s Joy in 1990 and 1991.
His success at Saratoga earned him the nickname, “The Sultan of Saratoga.” In addition to having a stakes race named after him, the retired state-bred has had a street named for him in Saratoga, and an annual award presented by the New York Turf Writers Association.
