Horatius is my mare's daddy! I can't believe I found a video of him running! I could only find a picture. How awesome is this? He got second place and that's good enough for me!!!

This was obviously very early on in John Henry's career, shortly after he ran in a claimer for the last time.

Bob Weems had double duty for a lot of years, calling Monmouth in the daytime and Atlantic City at night during the summer.

Awesome video! Great to hear classic action from the Jersey Shore! I loved how you could hear the reverb of the Monmouth PA system in the background as the late, great Bob Weems announced!
