Ridden by jockey Raymond Adair, and trained by Sylvester Veitch, Mameluke won a division of the 1951 Blue Grass Stakes[1] but in that year's Kentucky Derby, the horse slowed badly before being pulled up sore and finishing last.[2]
In 1952, Mameluke won the Metropolitan Handicap[3] and ran third in the Suburban Handicap.[4]
