Questionnaire Handicap at Empire City

Questionnaire (1927–1950) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse bred and raced by James Butler, president and owner of Empire City Race Track, who owned his sire Sting and grandsire Spur.[1]

Questionnaire was race conditioned by Andy Schuttinger,[2] who was his trainer through 1930, after which Edward J. Bennett took over.[3]

Questionnaire had an outstanding year at age three. Although he did not run in the first two legs of the 1930 U.S. Triple Crown series, he finished third to Triple Crown champion Gallant Fox in the Belmont Stakes. Overall, he won nine important races in 1930 [1] and then in 1931 captured the prestigious Brooklyn, Empire City and Metropolitan Handicaps. [4]
