As Rapid Redux closes in on his most memorable race at Laurel Park, and the crowd awaits this 18 for 18 win star who will now run for his 21st consecutive win, let’s have a close look at his pedigree; what brings him to this point of a relentless winning streak?rnRapid Redux has ruled the $5000 allowance races domain for a very long time and has consistently demolished all competition on the way. His career, however, has been a little short of exposure to big ticket races such as the graded stakes, but the durably gruelling winning streak of 20 races through a single season, now aims to tie a world record that is itself overwhelming.rnRapid is finally exhibiting his traits inherited from his great sire, Pleasantly Perfect, who in turn established himself as the fourth richest thoroughbred from the American continent based on career earnings. With two Breeder’s Cup Classic finishes and a Dubai World Cup win, under his belt, Pleasantly Perfect quite much set the standards for consistent speed over long distances as his signature style. rnWhen Pleasantly Perfect won his first most important race as a four year old at the Santa Anita racetrack, Grade-2, Goodwood Handicap, he ran 9 furlongs in 1:46.80. However, as a five year old, he ran a slower Goodwood Breeder’s Cup Handicap and still pulled off 9 furlongs in 1:48.37. That year, Pleasantly Perfect also won the Breeder’s Cup Classic, finishing ahead of early pace setter and lead for almost throughout the race, Medaglia ‘d oro and finishing third was Dynever. Pleasantly Perfect had switched to a higher gear only towards the final furlongs of the race which he neatly managed to win it by a length and a half. rnPleasantly Perfect later also managed to win the richest thoroughbred race of the world, the Dubai World Cup at 1 1/4miles in 2:00.24 against his prime rival Medaglia ‘d oro and third place finish Victory Moon. Soon after his six year old season, Pleasantly Perfect retired to stud and sired Rapid Redux. Foaled in 2006 to Thiscatsforcaryl by Storm Cat, Rapid now stands at a precipice of tying world record. rnEven if Rapid Redux puts a halt at his winning streak following his 21st start, there are sufficient reasons to check many more of fine thoroughbreds of fine calibre now awaiting our attention on horse race game online from HorseRaceGame. rnThese games have been meticulously designed in cutting edge 3D technology with fine attention paid to each detail.
