I don't necessarily want to put blame on Julie Krone for her breeders cup classic ride, but Pincay seemed to match the horse best of the riders he had and I thought it was a big mistake on Seth Hancock's part to fire him for refusing to cross the NY jockey's picket line for the NYRA Mile. At this point, Alysheba was in peak form and likely unbeatable by any horse in training, but I thought Forty Niner was a very close second.
Alysheba was always one of my favorites horses. After the races that day when the crowd was leaving I ran into Jack Van Berg and I told him how much I loved his horse. He then proceeded to give me a big hug and thanked me. And that is one of my favorite moments in racing!!
I had the great honor of calling the horses to post for this race. Alysheba was always my favorite, and it was Alysheba who was the greatest horse ever to look through a bridal. New track record and $200 to win on his nose! Those were the days when you could bet a good horse and expect to get paid what the toteboard said.
What a fantastic race! Great field and superb performance by Alysheba. Alysheba and Waquoit (third) finished in those same spots in the B.C. Classic that year in darkness at Churchill Downs.
Thank you for posting this video some believe that was Alysheba's best race ever because of the quality in that field plus he proved he can win without lasix and that he can handle Belmont
