You are correct about the most finishes, it was Thunders Lighting Bar a
quarter horse Mare, ridden by Pat Chaddel. But you'll have to check her
stats as to how far up the ladder she was on placing. Out of all the
Tevis' Arabians have won 42, Part Arabs 6, Thoroughbred Cross2 and 1
mustang. I looked at finishes and found only a couple Quarters that even
finished. As per the most finishers as of riders were Barbara White 27,
Hal V Hall 24, Julie Suhr 22, John McCullough 20, and Roxanne Greene
20 , I believe all were on Arabs. 6 horses completed 10 or more
Tevis' besides Thunders, Buffalo Bill, Rainaff, El Karbaj, Rocky, and Shatir and
I believe all were Arabs except for Thunders. Quarter horses are great
horses, I love them all but if you look at the stats on the Tevis Thunders was a
freak of nature. Probably only a hand full of Quarters even started the
Tevis, which actually makes that horse even more special.
