Quite the photo after 1 3/4 miles. Tough beat for Eagle Poise and the Saratoga Special crew.

Yeah, it's just too bad the San Juan Capistrano and the San Simeon don't have it anymore.

Doesn't get much better than 1993, though the field was very small, with Kotashaan just edging Bien Bien in a world record clocking. I think Epsom Derby winner Quest For Fame was 3rd.

*No, it was '92 BC Turf winner Fraise in third.

I was there, though for some reason I keep thinking it was the 10F race before that one....just remember Kotoshaan being a machine, because Bien Bien was pretty friggen good.

Bien Bien was my favorite horse when I got into the sport.

John Henry 1980 wire to wire. Went three quarters in 109 4/5. Never in doubt. Galloped out after the wire like he had another 1 1/4 in him.
