Ashamedly! I had not heard of these horses, nor this specific race, so I went online to look for the video. I could not find it! I checked the Saratoga website, Youtube, and a host of other websites that mentioned through a google search. Anyone know where I can watch this video? I would love to see it!
Thanks all.

I'm sure I viewed that on Youtube, but you can find it online somewhere. That was a good crop of 3 year olds. I watched it on network TV when they had the weekly "Race of the Week". I was a Jaipur fan and happy that he won, but as a DRF reporter wrote, "am not so sure that the best horse won". I believe that when they met again, Ridan won convincingly.
