El Lobo, The Flying Horse
On November 2, 1945, Stuart became the first man to fly a horse by plane when he flew his race horse, EL LOBO, from Los Angeles, California, to Bay Meadows with the help of the Flying Tiger Airlines (pilot: Bob Prescott). EL LOBO won the Burlingame Handicap ... and they flew home the same day. The history of the race horse was forever changed. The Bay Meadows Racetrack's newspaper is officially known as "The War Horse" but on Nov 3, 1945, in honor of this historic event, they renamed it "The Flying Horse". There was a crowd of almost 23,000 people on hand to watch this historic event.
