Placed 6th in the 1940 Santa Anita Handicap which was improbably won by Seabiscuit after he and his jockey Red Pollard had had only four good legs between them and had rehabilitated each other for more than a year at Charles Howard's ranch in Northern California. Heelfly was ridden in that race by Hall of Fame Jockey Georgie Woolf, so he must have been believed to have a chance.
I wonder why Heelfly had as many progeny as he did over so long a time because it appears that few of them were notable.
