2013 Preakness: Post Position the cause of Orb's Demise

Orb may not be the immortal everyone thought him to be, but one loss at the hands of a bad post takes nothing away from him. He can still be great.

  • buckpasser · Ironically, when I moved down to NC, I needed to rent a barn for my retired show horses while their barn was being built. I rented a nice place in Southern Pines from a woman who was E.R. Bradley's great niece. Small worlld. · 2 seconds ago ·

what Triple Crown winner (excluding Secretariat for obvious reasons) do you think was the best?

  • buckpasser · Cocoa. I believe the Santa Anita Derby was suspended during the war. Porters Cap won in 1941 and then Bymeabond owned by E.R. Bradley won the 1945 race. A lot of tracks on the west coast suspended operations during the war because they were used for troops and supply depots etc. to supply the navy for the war in the Pacific. I know Tanforan was pretty much closed during this as it housed troops. · 10 minutes ago ·

was most unfortunate being born the same year as the Bid.
If could travel back in time for five minutes and spend that time with one horsemen, who would it be? I think it's between Alfred Vanderbilt, Matt Winn, Sunny and Ben Jones, in my opinion.

Stagehand's two year old campaign is complete. Never in his life would he win a race less than a mile, a testament to his stamina and distance ability. Times may seem exceeding slow, but Saratoga and Belmont were very slow in 1937 as well as Empire City has never been a paticullarly fast track.
In your opinion, who is the best racehorse to compete in the 1980's and why?
