Granny's gone and done it again

On March 4, 1989, a racing buffalo named Harvey Wallbanger made his debut at Golden Gate Fields in California, marking the start of his unusual and impressive career. The buffalo, owned, trained, and ridden by T.C. Thorstenson, was pitted against a quarter horse named Two Eyed Burt, who was ridden by "Cowboy" Jack Kaenel, in a thrilling 110-yard sprint down the stretch.

In a race that captured the crowd's attention, Harvey Wallbanger showcased his surprising speed and power, edging out his equine competitor by half a length. Despite being a buffalo, he proved to be a fierce competitor, demonstrating remarkable agility and strength in the race.

At 8 years old and weighing a massive 2,000 pounds, Harvey Wallbanger finished the sprint in an impressive 9.4 seconds. This victory marked his 21st win in 26 races, solidifying his status as a unique and successful racing animal.View attachment 4122898
