Most Starts for Racehorses on the Memorial

Kingarvie (CAN) (1943-1955), 12yo chestnut horse 
UPDATED 9/11/2025 — Despite the dangers of racing, some horses perform a high number of starts before suffering a fatal injury. On the Memorial, Queen’s Plate winner Kingarvie (USA) has reigned as our “king of starts” with 169 races. Now Peachey Carnehand (GB) co-reigns with the same number of starts.
