A Walkover occurs when all nominations and entries are scratched except the prohibitive favorite. To confirm the win the lone entry must officially load into gate, start, travel the distance, and cross the finish line. This is an honor bestowed upon a thoroughbred of exceptional ability.

  1. CITATION,STYMIE..WHILAWAY.

    OVER 32 OF THEM

    and the first person is right

    There has been three that was with 2 other horses in them

    they where owned by the same farm

    also one was in the 1980's but it was concealed , or was it ?


  2. I agree with your explanation of a walkover although I am not as old as the other individual who answered about the walkovers they saw. A walkover in modern times has only had one horse actually run in the race. I don't know if having a stablemate owned by the same owner run in the race would constitute a walkover today but a different owner entry would be a horse race especially in a stake race where different owner entries run uncoupled. The only walkover I saw  and perhaps the last walkover in modern times was Spectacular Bid at Belmont Park in the Woodward Stakes. I was there it was quite impressive.

  3. Not all together true Clayton

    a walk over is also when agreed upon one other horse does appear to run Belonging to the same owner or group

    and there have been I think 3 times when there has  happened

    ISOLATER AND FELELON1940

    QUESTIONER AND AWAKE 1930

    And one more but I know it was when I was on the track

    Also some walk overs where because there was not enough money in it worth running in
