At 87 years old, trainer Bob Dunham remains a respected figure in horse racing, boasting nearly 70 years of experience and over 400 career wins. Dunham, known for training the 1972 champion sprinter Chou Crote, continues to find success despite managing a small two-horse stable. His recent victory at Saratoga Race Course with Come Full Circle marked his first win since 2021 and was especially meaningful as it honored the late E. Siobhan McCormack, a longtime owner and breeder connected to both horses in his barn.

Dunham’s enduring passion for racing is evident in his joyful reflection on winning, which he says “still feels great.” Supported by close friends and family, including owner Bill Castner and his daughters, Dunham embraces the thrill of competition and the camaraderie it brings. Looking forward, he aims to keep competing and cherishing the timeless excitement of victory, proving that while people age, the spirit of winning does not.
