CauseForConcern · I was there for that race. The call by Tom Durkin is indicative of my user name. It was a great moment, and I had been on Concern since he won the Arkansas Derby at long odds. I was glad to witness a race for the ages. · 279 days ago ·

Letter to the Readers

I must say that finding this site is one of the greatest finds of my life. I know, dramatic, but you’ll learn it is just the way I am. This site has given me the opportunity to talk racing with people that actually want to hear it. I have a chance to ‘meet up’ with people that feel the same way I do...Read More

mmidland · Angie, this is awesome! Love how much you love racing and HRN! You mentioned my race, the 1994 Travers. That was my first year working in racing, and I was the notes writer at Monmouth. Every chance I had on the backside, I would swing by to see Holy Bull and Jimmy Croll, so it was a truly special summer. We spent all summer promoting Holy Bull - he was our home track horse - so watching the Travers with all of us in the Monmouth offices screaming our lungs out for him to hold on was something I'll never forget. Along with Durkin's awesome call. · 355 days ago ·

ruffian75 · Beautiful description!!!!!! I was at the '94 Travers. I loved when Durkin said, "He has a cause for Concern(or concern)". The 2000 BC Classic between Tiznow and Giant's Causeway, when they were coming down the stretch, neck-and-neck, and he said with so much emphasis, "THIS IS A HEART-POUNDING, PULSATING STRETCH DRIVE!!!!!!". The love of this sport has so many highs, and, yes, there are the sad moments. But, all-in-all, that is what love is all about. P.S. Would you, by chance, ever hear of a jockey named Anthony D'Amico? · 355 days ago ·

ruffian75 · Thanks, RaTalk Girl. Since you enjoyed that one, this was of the greatest come-from-behind races I had ever seen. Check out how far back Concern is in this race. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CfSJn3tI8M. Once again, I hope you enjoy it. · 347 days ago ·
