Stephen Larkin owns only one racehorse, but when the horse is Atta Boy Dan, one is not such a lonely number. In fact, the number is quite common when looking at Atta Boy Dan’s past performances, as in first-place finishes. Atta Boy Dan led all harness racing horses in the U.S. in wins last year with 19.
