Thank you!

I noticed it more in the earlier (I'm nineteen and War Emblem awakened the obsession in me when I was twelve, so) videos, but wow, the Breeder's Cup 2002 was like a who's-who of great sires! That's so great.

Thank you Becky, you just gave my horse racing spirits a lift! I just complimented Steve on his Tiznow piece also. Racing fans, new and old, can only benefit from reading about and seeing the great races. Give us more of this and races on regular television and it may show the public more than the constant negative racing media.

Great memories of the not so distant past when owners and trainers RAN their champions, rather than keeping them in the barn, picking and choosing-or creating-this race here, there, to dodge the competition! The sport and fans were better off for it.

agree with the previous comment. alysheba and bet twice didn't just settle for one race, they kept battling, race after race.

that travers was loaded. horses stayed in competition and didn't duck each other.

What a wonderful replay of great horses producing great horses...those days no one was afraid to meet anyone at any time. (and no one dissed anyone else's horse)
