You don't see many colts even run in all TC races anymore let alone do well in all and this filly accelerated like a colt. She gave those bigger and fresher horses hell down the stretch even while finishing 2nd in this race and the Preakness. To me she is the female version of Secretariat with that explosive move.
Irony here is that Temperence Hill was trained by Joe Cantey -- whose then-wife Charlsie was covering the race for both CBS-TV and the WOR-TV local replay show. Right after this, the CBS broadcast had Cassidy saying "Congratulations, Charlsie Cantey!"
I'm not following you. I think she could've won The Preakness, sure. But I don't understand when you say "If not for that...she WOULD have won!" I mean, she wasn't hurt in the Preakness, and she had the 3 wks to train for the Belmont. She was a fantastic filly; I'm just not sure what you're trying to say here . . . the correlation is lost on me.
Go to the 1980 Preakness and see what GenuineRisk1 says about Cordero. He referred to GR as "the bitch" if that's not deep seated misogyny, Jesus Christ. It hurts so much deep down inside. For him a female/woman inferior creature was challenging him, and he DID hurt her. He admits it the bastard.
Ok; I think I understand now. I was not being sarcastic about this situation; I truly wanted to know what I was missing. Thanks for supplying the missing link, bon!
Hi, remember I described to you a few mos ago what Cordero did to her in the Pkness. But I had not idea he actually would openly tell people such as GR1 (assume a woman) that he intended to move out fm rail on her, hit her and make her slow up. Vasques said Cordero hit her w/his whip, she had a welt over one eye and it wasn't fm clods of dirt. I'm stunned that he wld be so brazely frank about his intentions. I'm livid.

Wasn't Temperance Hill about a 50-1 longshot in this race?
robertjrj 3 years ago
You bet. 53-1 to be exact. Nearing the all-time Belmont longshot winner, 70-1 Sarava in 2002.
