Effervescing (foaled 1973 in Kentucky) is an American thoroughbred stallion racehorse. Bred by Ogden Phipps, he was a son of the French sire Le Fabuleux whose other significant progeny included American multiple Grade I winner, The Bart and Dauphin Fabuleux, the 1984 Canadian Horse of the Year. He was out of the American mare, Sparkling whose U.S. Racing Hall of Fame sire Bold Ruler was an inductee and the Leading sire in North America eight times.

Effervescing was a stakes winner at the age 3, 4 and 5 he was one of the first successful trainees by D. Wayne Lukas who assumed him at age 5 when he had swollen ankle.

At the age of three and going off at long shot odds of 24-1 he won the $112,500 Man O' War Stakes on Belmont Park's turf course October 11, 1976 [ [http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50E16FB355A1A7493C0A8178BD95F428785F9&scp=7&sq=Effervescing A 24-1 Shot Captures Man o' War; A 24-1 Shot Captures Man o' War - Free Preview - The New York Times ] ]

At age four, he won at Saratoga Race Course the turf-run Sword Dancer Handicap with future Hall of Fame jockey Angel Cordero, Jr. up

Two Stakes Wins, Five Days Apart

At the age of five Effervescing set a record – much to the dismay naysayers - when he won two $100,000+ purse stakes races within one week. He was victorious in both the $110,500 American Handicap on turf by 3-lengths [ [http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20812FA355513728DDDAC0894DF405B888BF1D3&scp=2&sq=Effervescing $110,500 Coast Handicap Is Won by Effervescing - Free Preview - The New York Times ] ] and then the Citation Handicap on dirt, both at Hollywood Park in 1978 on July 4th and July 10th respectively. Laffit Pincay, Jr. was the jockey for both efforts.

At the time the American Handicap was a Grade 2 race and the Citation, having it's first running just the year before, was upgraded.

According to Lukas' autobiography "D. Wayne", Al Yank, one of the owners, after the American Handicap victory wanted to run the horse in a stakes race in Chicago later in the fall. When Lukas said he wanted to run the horse back again in five days the reply was "Are you drinking your own bathwater?". Al Yank gave in after Lukas held his ground.

Effervescing won the Eddie Read Handicap (a turf race at 9 furlongs) at Del Mar Racetrack also in 1978 with Laffit his rider again. [ [http://www.walknyranch.com/Albert.htm Walkin Y Ranch, A Part of My Heritage ] ]
