Catalogue Note: Doublrab was an American Thoroughbred racehorse, foaled in 1938 by the sire, Sherab, and the dam, Double Shamrock. He was bred in Rockford, Illinois at a farm owned by the Chappel brothers, Philip and Earl, who were owners of the successful pet food brand, Ken-L Ration. In the same year as Doublrab was born, the Chappel brothers were dissatisfied with their breeding results, deciding to sell off their entire bloodstock and completely starting over. Doublrab was sold to Frank Campagna and began racing as a two-year-old in 1940, winning the Collinsville Handicap at Fairmount Park Racetrack in June of 1941.
By March of 1942, Doublrab was purchased by Lillian Christopher of Miami, FL, who owned a stable and was the wife of a wealthy automobile dealer and real estate investor. Harris Brown became the trainer, and Billie Thompson served as the new jockey, leading to a successful year of nine major wins for the four-year-old Doublrab. This includes the Army and Navy Handicap at Belmont Park in New York that took place on June 27, 1942, breaking the Aqueduct track record for six furlongs.
