yes, i just wish dehere would have done more later on. this is 1 of the greatest moves i have ever seen in a race and i expected him to win the derby the following year. oh well-- such is horse racing.
Hi fallight. Glad you liked it. Yes, wasn't Dehere amazing the way he just POWERED to the wire? I really enjoyed Durkin's call too: "Dehere is closing like a ROCKET!!" He's so much fun to listen to when the action heats up. Take care.
My favorite thoroughbred of all time. it's a shame he had problems with injuries. Would have been great to see what he was capable of.

Didn't they used to run the Schuylerville and Saratoga Special races the 1st two days of the meet?

that was incredable speed...
thats a horse that you stalk the pack with and on the back stretch they give it all they got.

A rousing finish by Dehere that takes your breath away. FAST horse.
Durkin's excitement made it that much better. Awesome call.
I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks for watching.

It's really sad that Dehere fractured his right hind after running only two races at three.
I think he would have had a great shot at winning the Derby and more otherwise.
Have a good night.
