Buckpasser: The Hall of Fame Racehorse With a Nonchalant Attitude

Buckpasser was a talented horse. He won a lot of races and earned $1 million. Buckpassers sire was Tom Fool, his dam Busanda was the daughter of War Admiral. He was not a great competitor. His attitude towards racing was sometimes frustrating. Hialeah Park in Florida refused to offer wagering on races in which Buck Passer competed. They feared they would lose money on the proposition. The horse was homebred racing for Ogden Phipps. It was trained by Bill Winfrey. On May 13, 1965, Buck passer made his debut at Aqueduct.
