    Told ya!

    So happy my whole family got to see what I saw thrice in the 70s, and they had never experienced.

    Just awesome.

    And a wire-to-wire victory, class & style all the way.

    Awesome stuff! I'm glad I got to see this in my lifetime along with other sports-related droughts that have ended in the past one or two decades.

    Why is the family that owns this great horse considered controversial?

    Among American male horses, you may wish to check this guy out before crowning Big Red the GOAT. :)

    But yeah, very exciting day, and at least there's a new name to throw into the discussion...T

    Edit - Wife says no argument, Big Red, case closed, end of story! :)

    No worries, I pick them for fun, I don't even bet myself, Ive just followed the historical aspect of the sport since @ 1972. Today is really a great day for American Sports.

    I thought this was a nice pic. Time to add one more. For someone who grew up at the track & whose uncles all loved the sport of kings, those are legendary names, and they finally have new company...T

    One hell of a horse. It Never gave an inch and smashed Frost at the end. He had no chance :)

    Pace makes race and he had it all his own way with an easy lead (look at the fractions), Victor rode a perfect race, and by the time Frosted tried to come to him in the stretch, he had another gear. The rest as they say, is history.

    I like the fact that he won going away, which just emphasized the accomplishment.

    Great demonstration of what the horsey set call tactical speed. Espinoza was sitting chilly atop AP; when that horse challenged at the top of the stretch, AP put it into another gear, and zoomed off to what I thought I read was the 3 largest margin of victory…T
