He also tied for the win in 1969 and finished second on two occasions. He completed the ride 11 times from 1969-1980 carrying 3 different riders to earn their completion buckles. Connie Creech: "Witezarif also won Tevis 6 times in the 70's. He was an amazing athlete! I crewed for Donna in 1976 at Tevis. Witezarif was only 14'2 hh, he conserved his energy well and thought trotting for the vet was a senseless waste of it. Those days the horses were walked frequently during their hold, so as not to stiffen up. He was not to agreeable about that either." |
