Show the whole race can't you? It's too bad Landseer broke down but Rock of Gibraltar had to avoid him to keep his feet and that was significant to his trip.
Given a decent ride, Rock Of Gibraltar would have decimated this field...as it turned out, Mick Kinane gave him a shocking ride but still finished a length off in second after running on from plum last!...Also worthy of note was the awful injury sustained by Landseer as they turned into the straight....You cant beat the Breeders Cup meeting!
It is kind of late now (8 years) but I'd like to thank the connections of Dome Driver for making 2002 my best year ever at the breeders cup. I had two pick 3's with DD in them. One where he was on the end and one with him in the middle.
Out of respect for Landseer I didn't cash out until a few days later.
To those making excuses for jockeys and whatever. Look at who was running just a length or so behind The Rock over in England. Dome Driver was simply overlooked in the betting.
Kinane did not drop his reigns on Giants Causeway versus Tiznow. Tiznow just simply outgamed him when the real running began. They could have gone around that track a 2nd time and Giants Causeway was still not gonna get by Tiznow.
@SouthlandKing Kinane got chewed out by Aidan O'Brien for getting his whip stuck among the reins. You can see him give Giant's Causeway a few cracks on the turn, and then not use the whip again until the final strides. Tiznow is a great horse but Giant's Causeway unlucky in that race.
that was one of two shocking rides in breeders cup races by kinane the rock should have won easily and giants causeway when he lost his reigns for a few strides in the last 100 yards against tiznow
Mr Kinane's worst moment in the saddle....the best horse in the race by a country mile and he rode it like he could win from wherever. Badly misjudged! He was the best miler we have seen in a very long time.
@torontoderek i personaly wouldnt blame kinane ROG missed the break meaning he was stuck at the back which wasnt realy kinanes fault, if kinane tried to come through he would have had to go round giving up too much ground on the turns, i think everything went wrong that day and kinane still managed to get 2nd, they were just unlucky IMO, i personaly wouldnt blame kinane who didnt do alot wrong it was the horse missing the break and being stuck at the back that cost the race
I lost alot of money that night but cant blame Mick Kinane it is very rare he makes mistakes but draw and being hamperered by Landseer did not help. What the hell was Ballydoyle thinking replacing him with that Clown Jaimie Spencer though? Kinane is and always has been one of the best.....
It wasn't a misjudge ride. He had a terrible draw and got terribly unlucky..they thought that mite happen and hoped that the pace of the rock would put them over the line...few strides short of a perfect ride.
david i can respect what your saying but your talking crap dude, the rock was poorly position landseer to an extent did not help him but its a short straight he should of had him handy on the bend, i personally feel that he was at least 3 lengths better than these and he still got beat so you have to put the error on the jockey no one else
Rock of Gibraltar was EXTREMELY unlucky,when Landseer broke down,it was right in the Rocks path as he was making his move,and actually collided with him,watch the race!
Wrong..Kinane got a horrible draw and he could improve from that. It was just unlucky. You are 100% correct about the best horse... the speed of that horse was amazing.
Landseer unfortunately broke down 3 out. Out of respect the broadcassters dont show replays of it. Same thing happened in Sir Percy's derby, when Horatio Nelson broke a leg.

Does anyone remember Domedriver anymore? I don't think so really -- he ran a ding-dong of a race. Congrats to him. He is a forgotten hero.

Giants causeway was also wider than Tiznow at every point in the race. Ride and trip costed him.

@saveus228 Ride and trip didn't cost him...the fact that he got outfought by a better horse did.

No he didn't. Chris McCarron is simply a better jockey than Kinane.

@bluetiege Yes he most definitely did drop his reigns on Giants Causeway and it most definitely cost him the race.

Your dead right. Rock was just unlucky... Different class to the rest and just a pity he didnt win.

he is one the best flat horses ive ever seen. had a greeat turn of foot and oozed class

Landseer probably would have won if he had not broke down he was in the perfect striking position for a horse of his running style
