I noted one of the YouTube comments on your walkover share mentioned they had always looked for a replay of that Florida Derby race. I have, too. I watched the race real time, but never a replay.
I counted at least three, maybe four, times that the rider got Spectacular Bid stopped in that Florida Derby.
Of course the rider was just a kid then.
Spectacular Bid made them both winners, though.

I would love to see a replay of that Florida Derby, Cordero and the other jocks, boxed in The Bid and The Kid at least 4 times, it was probably one of The Bid's best races, I think he still won by 4. He was The greatest Horse I have ever seen, and to this day over 30 yrs later, not one horse that has run, can close to this magnificent animal..........
