Race Record
Blenheim had seven starts as a two-year-old for four wins and was placed second in the other races. His first two starts as a three-year-old were disappointing, and his jockey elected to ride Rustom Pasha in the Epsom Derby instead. Harry Wragg rode Blenheim to win this race from 16 other starters. After the Derby, Blenheim was injured and retired from racing.

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or record:
“‘Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
“Their color is a diabolic die.”
Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.”
—Phillis Wheatley (c. 1753–1784)
“Bob freed your mind the way Elvis freed your body. He showed us that just because music was innately physical did not mean that it was anti-intellectual. He had the vision and the talent to make a pop record that contained the whole world.”
—Bruce Springsteen (b. 1949)
