this goes back a ways. frank O'Meara had a promising young horse named armbro elvis that had strung together a number of wins I believe in the 3 yo division against the best in the country at the meadowlands. he won his last start, but frank, driving elvis, swore the horse actually suffered a heart attack in deep stretch and it was his "courage and momentum" which carried him across the finish line to continue his win streak.
can anyone find his pp's? armbro elvis back in the late 80's or early 90's at the meadowlands.
