Okay well while were waiting for the next round to begin on the "is this common for jocks agents" thread (oh right, like I'm the only one? )I thought maybe we could play nice in the sandbox and share.

Who has a race they love, that's fun, different, that they wanna share or remember?

Here's one of mine.

Good Lord I thought he was gonna leave altogether and go hit a Starbucks and a bookstore or something.

How did Mende let that one get away?

I wish I could find the replay, but Giant Chieftan's first race.

I'll toss up a .27 second softball.

I saw this horse come back as a 4 year old and was in attendance when he won an allowance race at Arlington Park.

I also have his Kentucky Tavern Kentucky Derby Winner mirror over my left shoulder.


Just under the "Winning Colors" mirror, and just over the "Ferdinand" mirror.

"The Living Legend" in the 1984 Arlington Million is also a fave.

Lots of post parade stuff in this video before the gates open, so fast forward at will....

In the interest of redboarding, I really enjoyed the Louisiana Handicap last Saturday.

A little angel came down and tapped my shoulder and said "do an exacta box...$80 with Friesan Fire over General Quarters, and back it up with $20 with General Quarters over Friesan Fire."


It certainly wasn't a historic race, but it does provide the lettuce by which I will make my advance Super Bowl wagers when I head to Nevada this Saturday.


Video not required on that one, I guess.

Back on subject, I saw both of these horses run.

Twice.

I bet Easy Goer when I should have bet Sunday Silence.


I bet Sunday Silence when I should have bet Easy Goer.

I didn't bet the race linked here.

But, a good race just the same.

I had just moved to Philly and lived in close proximity to Philly Park and was going to baseball game with pals from college. Stopped and played a sizable Easy Goer/Sunday Silence straight exacta and a few $2 boxes with the same combo to hand out to my friends. We watched it at a little dive bar in south Philly near the Vet. and you should of heard those guys screaming at the TV. It was their first experience wagering on horse racing and they had a blast even though the payout was less than $10.

I don't think I can top your choice. My own theory is that the rider thought the outside was the best part of the track. ;>)

I can't seem to locate the video, but there was a race at the Big A last Spring in a dense fog, and Durkin's call was classic... I can't remember all of his comments but for at least the first 1/2 of the race you couldn't see a horse.
