Concern - 1994 Breeders Cup Classic (with post race comments)

[stevetriplecrown]

Didnt holy bull beat most of these, he surly would have won this, his owners should have supplemented him, why did'nt he qualify for the classic? holy bull was a real champ, one of my fav's

Concern wouldn't have got past Holy Bull, especially after a 1:36 4/5 mile...The Bull shrugged him off in the Travers. Great Stretch call by Durkin.

I love this horse. What an exciting running style. His "nephew," Richard's Kid, has that same come-from-behind kick that is so fun to watch.

Whenever I talk about Zenyatta, Concern always comes into the conversation.

Great race.

I have to think Best Pal was the best of this bunch, but perhaps this was late in his career.

Any thoughts?

[ClaraPete123]

This is my favorite, most exciting horse race ever.  Concern rules!

[superemperador1]

holly bull would have ate ate this field..like he had beaten them all before!

[kmnmiamisax]

Wow, Jerry Bailey looks SO young! That really was a heck of a race.

Even without champion Holy Bull, the three year olds ran 1-4 (Concern,Tabasco Cat,Dramatic Gold,Soul of the Matter). It's interesting to think how Holy Bull would have done in here.He only won 1 race over 9 furlongs, the Travers, but he did beat Concern and Tabasco Cat in doing so.However, he only had 4 opponents in the Travers while the Classic had 14 starters, and would have faced sharp pace pressure from more quality speed and a Tabasco Cat that was much sharper.I wish Croll would've run him

Dernier Emperor wins this race if he doesn't get put into the rail three furlongs out.Had money on him too...

[bigroan]

Dernier Emperor wins nothing, even without being checked. Eat those tickets like a man! There's always 9 races tomorrow.

My favorite horse of all time, and of course, this was my favorite all time race. Thanks for posting it.

Concern wasn't what you would call a great racehorse. But by golly he was a horse with a ton of try! At his best he was cause for concern. I loved seeing him get this race,he deserved it. If he could have raced mid pack,he would have won many more races. But sometimes you can't change running styles.

[gfn02]

Ooh boy! What a great race by Concern, a stretch drive for the ages!

[cf1970]

I couldn't agree more. Great to see.

[jruck3000]

I really enjoy to post race comentary you put after the race, you should do that more often. Just a suggestion.

[cf1970]

I would like to have some post-race commentary in all of my posts if it was my choice, but the races I have posted in the past have had little or none altogether. Believe me, I would post it if I had it.

Thanks for watching.

[jruck3000]

I know there isn't much out there. But thanks for trying. Can you do a tribute to George Washington. They had to put him to sleep on the track in the Breeders Cup.

[cf1970]

Thanks. Very sad about "Gorgeous" George, as he was famously called. Tribute videos are not my forte, I just like finding classic races and posting them. My friend Carly Kaiser has posted a fine tribute to him and specializes in that type of video.

Take care.

[cf1970]

As posted by jruck3000: Well you do good work. Thanks for the videos.

Sorry about that,jruck. I accidentally hit "remove" instead of "reply."

Thanks again for your support, I appreciate it.

This has whetted our appetite for the weekend!

[cf1970]

I feel the exact same way. Enjoy the BC this weekend! May it be one of great races!

[Jazzgirl8888]

The way Concern runs from the back to this dramatic finish is nothing short of incredible!

Thank you so much for posting this race for us!

[cf1970]

Isn't it though? I love the fact that Concern got up in, arguably, the biggest race of the year. Fantastic stuff!

You're always welcome, Jazzy!
