Rapid Redux (foaled in Kentucky on February 24, 2006) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse who set an American record with 22 consecutive wins in 2012. The winter-born gelding was his sire Pleasantly Perfect's first runner.
As a two-year-old at Keeneland Sales's September 2007 auctions, Rapid Redux was sold for $85,000. His best finish at two was a distant third in the three-horse Tyro Stakes at Monmouth Park. By three, he was running in Claiming races.
Robert Cole, a Baltimore County native, claimed Rapid Redux at Penn National Race Course for $6,250 on October 13, 2010. The horse's win streak began on December 2, 2010, at the same track.
Trained by David J. Wells (based at Penn National), Rapid Redux has now won races at seven different tracks at distances from five furlongs to 1 1/8 miles, using seven riders during the streak.[1]
