Fifteen-race win streaks tend to get a good deal of press in the Standardbred racing industry, especially when the sire of the horse stands in North America. That being said, there is a reason why the story of an unbeaten three-year-old has yet to receive much attention.

Officials with Blue Chip Farms have let it be known that, Chucaro Acero Blue Chip, a three-year-old son of Shadow Play, was recently victorious in the elimination and final of the Nacional Cup at the Hipodromo de Cintra in Cordoba province, Argentina.

Chucaro Acero Blue Chip won the race in 1:56.2(f) and is undefeated in 15 lifetime starts.

His dam, Animals Can Sing, was exported, in foal, with Chucaro Acero Blue Chip by Argentinean breeder/owner Haras El Ceibo and Blue Chip Bloodstock of Wallkill, N.Y.

Due to the difference in breeding seasons between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, Chucaro Acero Blue Chip is racing against three-year-olds that are about six months older.

Harness racing began in Argentina in 1910, and has gained increasing popularity in the last 10 years.
