the 1985 classic was indeed a classic.......that was a solid field, gate dancer was one inlucky horse. you cannot run any better and not win.

Freefourinternet's '04 BC Classic performance was very reminiscent of that of RNS in 1996.

With ATR broadcasting "the best of" this morning, and the first show being the post-2009 Breeders' Cup show . . . I'm transported back in time and reminded of just how damned excited I was in the wake of Zenyatta's victory. No matter what's happened since, anyone who loves the sport has to have been on a high after that Saturday.

Amen...............a look at the head-on will show that Wild Again came out as much as GD came in. His previous escapades worked against him with a pathetic call by the Stewards.
