What the Nation is saying about the 1971 Kentucky Derby...

Remembering … Hoist The Flag

I was just a toddler when the legend of Hoist The Flag was forged, but through the superlatives littered on him by my Dad, and the magnificence of his offspring, he became one of the most important horses of my childhood. All this despite the fact that I never saw him in person. Like Ahab's white wh...Read More

icyhotboo · He was the horse we had been waiting for,a triple crown winner after 24 years.It seemed like deja vu as 5 years earlier the amazing Graustark broke down before the derby.When Secretariat came along I didn't have that certainty others did but happily the rest is history.Very nice article on a horse who even without fufilling his racing career had a major impact on the sport. · 356 days ago ·

RaTalk_Girl · I really enjoy reading the "look back" you are giving us. Since it was not until 2009 that I found out the horses I spent so much money betting on had names. Can't wait till the next article, there will be a next right? · 356 days ago ·

ruffian75 · That was a beautiful story. I never knew that he was that awesome. When icyhotboo mentioned of his Triple Crown appeal, I remember another horse that they "touted" as the 2nd coming of Secretariat in 1984. Woody Stephens had Devil's Bag, who had been named the Eclipse winner for his 2 year old campaign. When he came into his 3 year old season, he was in a stakes race down @ Gulfstream, he was so feared in a 8 horse field, that Gulfstream refused to accept Show bets on the race. He ran a disappointing 4th, and Gulfstream lost a chance to make a whole lot of money had they accepted Show bets. Neat thing about this story, was that Woody Stephens would go on and win the Derby and Belmont with Swale. Sadly, though, 8 days after the Belmont, Swale was working out at Belmont, and succumbed to a heart attack. · 356 days ago ·

BrianZipse · Thanks, guys! Yes, Christine, the racing world was very lucky that Hoist The Flag survived... Devil's Bag was an incredible juvenile, ruffian, I saw him win the Champagne in fantastic fashion! No worries, Angie ... there will be a next ;-) · 355 days ago ·

ruffian75 · Brian, our efforts to handicap the Belmont would've been much easier, had Woody Stephens still been around. I remember when he had that 5 consecutive Belmont wins(Conquistador Cielo, Caveat, Swale, Creme Fraiche, and Stephan's Odyssey). · 355 days ago ·

BrianZipse · I was there for three of the five. It was the most remarkable feat in racing ... can you imagine training five consecutive Belmont Stakes winners?!? By the way, you forgot the last of the five, Danzig's Connection. Stephan's Oddysey was Woody's, but he ran 2nd to Creme Fraiche. The stands must have chanted "Woody, Woody, Woody!" for five minutes after the Danzig Connection win. Now that was unbelievable! · 355 days ago ·
