BRESNAHAN TAKES HOME THE DOUBLE
Gene won The Daily Double in 1968 at Scarborough Downs in Maine. After a full day of riding at Rockingham Park, he rode two races at Scarborough. Gene felt "Red Glory" was afraid of the other horses, so he drove him out in front at the gate, and he just ran away from the field. Gene won both races by a neck. It was so foggy that night the fans couldn't see them until they came across the wire!
gene's Buddy Dan Martin
Dan joined Gene in his journey to be a jockey but he was too big so he decided to train. Here is one of Dan's win pictures and a picture of Gene in Dan's silks although Gene never did ride for him.
