Great post. And yes Woody had multiple entries in at least one Belmont. In 1985,
Creme Fraiche became the first gelding to win the Belmont. Stephan's Odyssey, trained by Woody, completed the exacta.
The story goes that Woody was sitting with the owners of both CF (Elizabeth Moran) and SO (Henryk deKwiatkowski). Stephen's Odyssey made a big sweeping move late in the race and deKwiatkowski jumped out of his seat and began hugging Woody. Woody looked at deKwiatkowski and said "Now go hug Mrs. Moran, her horse just went by yours."
