Northern Dancer’s Run for the Roses: A Moment in Time

The date was May 2, 1964. Only a few months earlier the Beatles had topped the U.S. pop charts for the first time with “I Want To Hold Your Hand” only a few months earlier and in the world of thoroughbred horse racing; a gutsy little bay colt from our neighbor to the north would become the first Can...Read More

annalefsrud@yahoo.ca · Such a coincidence, reading Avalyn Hunter's book "The KingMaker about Northern Dancer, and then as much as you see his progeny, it becomes inescapable. Starting at the current top.. Frankel, Black Caviar, Cirrus Des Aigles, Danedream... · 495 days ago ·

The Great Kentucky Derby Mistake: A Moment in Time

The date was May 4, 1957. The Soviet Union was only a few months away from sending a dog into space, and in the world of thoroughbred horse racing, one of the most talked about races in history was about to be run under the famed twin spires. The main players were part of what many still call the fi...Read More

gocashking · Nicely done, Brian. I love the footage. It's kind of ironic how 7 years later Hartack would beat The Shoe by a similar margin on Northern Dancer after Shoemaker chose Hill Rise as his mount over the 'Dancer. · 546 days ago ·

DarleneSanner · thanks for the memory esp the footage but I can see that finish in my mind even without Cryed for Gallant Man long time that day and was always a little leary of whatever the Shoe would be riding ever after right or wrong · 546 days ago ·

rayjay · My father handed me the newspaper and said, "pick the Derby winner." I picked Bold Ruler, he lost - So what else is new? He did win the Preakness and later beat both Gallant Man and Round Table at 10f to be named Horse of the Year! Thanks for the video, it was fun watching him again · 545 days ago ·

Mike in SB · I have seen the film of this race a bunch of times and I really don't think Shoe misjudging the finish line cost Gallant Man the race, he never stopped running and never broke stride. I do think I remember Shoe talking about it costing Gallant Man the race but it looks like he just ran out of track to me. By the way I like the outrider in the suit and no helmet. · 545 days ago ·

Jockey Shorts

Just ask Eibar Coa and Paco Lopez, or Brandon Meier. Being a jockey is a dangerous, thankless job, and over the past 30 days a notable number of incidents at Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Penn National and Aqueduct have rammed home that point. Yet, beyond the charismatic good ol' boy Calvin Borel… Read More

Venetian Shows The Way: Venetian Way wins 1960 Kentucky Derby

'HE WIN BIG—REAL BIG' The tenant of Barn 17 at Louisville's Churchill Downs could hardly have been blamed if he had begged off running in the 86th Kentucky Derby because of a developing inferiority complex. All week long, as he gazed soulfully out of his stall, the beautiful chestnut 3-year-old name...Read More
