Default Flashback to a classic

The 1987 Haskell

What is incredible is that the positions of Sheba, Bet Twice, and Lost Code are different at every call.

While a little before my time, I remember seeing film of the stretch run clip of this race---it was a very exciting race to say the least.

You had the two horses that battled through the TC with Bet Twice denying Sheba in the Belmont and nailing the Visa $1 mil bonus, and "Codey" who won every Derby except the one in Kentucky in which he did not run. The 126, 126, and 124 assigned to these three brilliant 3 year olds is something we will never see again...ever. If Frankel had a horse in the race, he would have scratched. They just don't have handicaps like that anymore.
