Breeding

One Hitter was sired by Shut Out, the Greentree bred and owned Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner of 1942 who in turn was a son of Equipoise. Owned by Whitney family members Harry Payne Whitney and his son Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, Equipoise is a U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee who was a six-time U. S. Champion including 1932 and 1933 American Horse of the Year as well as the Leading sire in North America in 1942. Shut Out's dam was the stakes winning Goose Egg, another Greentree homebred.

One Hitter's dam was the Greentree homebred Bold Anna, a daughter of the 1936 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner, Bold Venture. Bold Anna's dam was the very good racemare Nedana who frequently raced against, and often beat, her male counterparts.

Racing career

One Hitter raced for six years. Racing at age two and three, he was entered in some of the better races for his age group but did not win. From age four through seven he began winning some of the most prestigious handicaps on the East Coast of the United States.[1]

In winning the Questionnaire Handicap, One Hitter set a new Empire City Race Track speed record of 1:42 2/5 for a mile and a sixteenth on dirt.[2]

Retired to stud for his owners, One Hitter produced several stakes winners but no top level runners.

gollark: How do raiding or at least griefing/stealing-allowed servers actually work in practice, though? In my experience defense is way harder than attack, and the only reason my stuff remains mostly safe is that I play on places with claims.
gollark: Clearly you should have had FOUR turtle pairs!
gollark: That's pretty cool, how'd the chunkloading work?
gollark: Sounds kind of entitled.
gollark: If you have access to automatable ender chests, though, you could do a similar thing for at least your most valuable items.
