puscsycat Doll ran a visually magnificient race back at SA over the winter. It was in the slop, I believe on New Years eve, where she rolled from very far back to blow by the entire field including Leave Me Alone, who looked like a winner at the top of the stretch until you saw the action of *****cat Doll. Even though it cost me a huge score (I needed Leave Me Alone) it was something to watch.

When Silky Sullivan ran in the 1958 Kentucky Derby, the network used a split-screen technique to cover the race. One camera was focused on the leaders, while another, the image from which appeared in the lower corner of the screen, covered Silky's progress at the back of the pack, waiting for the come-from-behind colt to make his move.
When Silky died in 1977, he was buried at the track under a bronze plaque bearing the epitaph: "Out of the gate like a bullet of red dropping behind as the rest sped ahead loping along as the clubhouse fans cheer leisurely stalking the field in first gear."

LOL!! I was thinking that we might be thinking of the same race! It truly was amazing when Bailey stepped on the gas and he took off!

Didn't Bailey say something after the race to the effect that he had never ridden a horse with a kick like that before or that it was some kick?

Yes he did. He said that he would sleep through the race too if he let him but when he asked him to go he didn't think a horse could get to his top speed that quick.

I loved Victory Gallop. I was soooo bummed that he didn't run in the Classic. I got tickets for my whole family to go to the Breeders Cup that year. (It was at Gulfstream) I was depressed for a week after I heard he was retiring.

I had a great time. My mom won a nice Win bet in the classic and bought us all dinner. Remember good things about it. Forget the bad. I remember Bob Baffert waving to my husband as he walked by because my hubby shouted "go get em Bob". Bob waved to him and the crowd went crazy.
