Very hard to have a dry eye at the end of this but I have to agree that he was a once in a lifetime horse and very few if any, were as good as him

The same will be written about MUSCLE HILL, hopefully, they'll leave out the references to Geg Peck!!!

[Grandstand Handicapper]

The greatest -- most talented -- horse to ever look through a bridle since Niatross.

[Brown jug]

has to be the best combination of race horse and stallion combo
muscle hill would be right there with him

Thanks for posting this---loved every second of it. Beach was the Greatest Pacing Standardbred that ever lived. Had great people-great story about a wonderful once in a lifetime Horse..

It's the fleeting look of absolute disgust at 2:24ish pt 3 talking about art official ... Anyone else catch that or do I need to polish up my poker skills?

Art Official = Birdstone

The stars aligned perfectly for two minutes in the racing life of both these horses.

way off base here

Birdstone came back to win the Travers after wining the Belmont and was a super sire

Art Official won the Cane after M1 Pace and was a horrible sire

art who

dont even speak of him in the same sentence as sbsw

His legacy will always be that he got beat by Art Official.

Maybe, but I look at it the complete opposite way.  His legacy and IMO his greatest race was going 51.4 to half and 1:19.1 to the 3 quarters (in 2008!) and just getting caught at the wire by Art Official.
