Casey Tibbs savage video

[letswastemoney]

I haven't seen this until today. The gray horse takes a bite out of the winner as he faded down the lane. The horse is a sore loser I guess http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mKLhDW6iKY&NR=1

He was quite a "savage" N.Y.bred!

The most famous instance of one horse trying to 'savage' a horse whom he can't get past is the 1980 Tremont S, which was immortalized by the NYRA award-winning photo. Golden Derby had a lead and wasn't knuckling under to Great Prospector's run, so GP snaked his head around with teeth bared. Great photo. It is titled "The Savage", image should be available somewhere.

In fact, I found it here: http://marketplaceadvisor.channeladv...226&i=15277414

Some TB's are so competitive that if they can't run faster than the other horse, they try to intimidate it into submitting.

PS. GP's sire, Mr. Prospector was a hyper-competitive horse who also tried to enforce his position with his teeth on more than one occasion, according to an elderly gentleman I know, who witnessed many of his races. Mr. P's biggest contribution to the breed may have been his will to win.

This one works too:

affirmed and aldyar in the belmont. hell of a race. and i was an alydar fan--poor alydar!!

i think the thing that really catches my eye tho in the SS/EG preakness is that they were in step with each other. you don't get it any closer than those two did without a dead heat. a bit longer nose for one...a bit of bad luck for the other.

Let Goodtimes Roll is a sire now and I hit a nice one when I bet a horse sired by him. I figured he wouldn't let anyone pass and he didn't.

btw.. I noticed they finally had to put a wire mesh around his mouth so he couldn't do that.
