Best Races Seen
« on: January 29, 2021, 12:06:47 AM »
Was speaking to an old friend an we were discussing some of the best races we've seen that a horse was just unbelievable to win and even though its recent I can't help but think of one of my favorites Sweet Lous performances in 2014...what he did in that stretch of races was unreal...Dan Patch and especially the Ben Franklin was one of the gutsiest wins ive seen....wonder how good he would have been with Pierce from the get go becaus he was a different horse when Pierce got him......just curious who were some of your favorites?

Bond has it right. Only two long term races I still watch via replay.

At Hazel Park 20 years ago. A horse named Big Ed that was  200 to 1, wins the race by like 10 lengths. No I didn't bet him lol... 11.wp

I know I’m old but watching Armbro Nesbit break the record of 1:56:4 on half mile in 1974 at Yonkers  was the most exciting to me.
