Pat Day recalls riding Wild Again to victory in the 1984 Breeders' Cup Classic

It is nice to see not one of the jockeys resorted to the whip in the closing stages. Compare this to the brutality of 2010 BBC Sports Personality A P McCoy on horses that have slogged their way through 4.5 miles of mud.

I met Pat Day this year and told him that I felt this was the greatest race in Breeders Cup history. He told me this same story about the effort that this horse put forth on that day 26 years ago. I also recall the owners put up 360k to run him and made a killing at the windows.

I got to see Gate Dancer in Ocala in the 90's.

Is this a new series? I have not seen it before. And Pat with glasses now. Thank you for posting.
