You too pal.

Cool video. Bates Motel had to give up 7 pounds to the winner and 5 pounds to Slew O' Gold. Amazing.
-
There was a great rivalry between Slew and Bates. If you ever get a chance to see the 1983 Woodward, you will hear one of the greatest race calls of all time.

There was a great rivalry between Slew and Bates. Terry Lipham was replaced by McCarron for the Marlboro. Cordero said it wouldn't make a difference.
"The first race in this series was the Woodward Stakes, where he met Bates Motel, who had been easily the most impressive horse so far in 1983, and Island Whirl, who had won the Woodward Stakes a year earlier and recently won the Whitney Handicap at Saratoga....... "
The Woodward was one of Marshall's best calls ever. I was there. please post

That was 1 of the worst race calls I have ever heard. I was never a big fan of Marshall Cassidy but he blew the stretch call as Highland Blade was clearly closing on the inside and had the lead. His robotic style was terrible especially following in the footsteps of Dave Johnson and Chic Anderson, 2 of the best ever.

I think you're being hypercritical here. Marshall clearly identified after the 1/4 pole that Highland Blade was "right there", "on the inside here comes Highland Blade", "Highland Blade is challenging Slew O' Gold and Bates Motel", "Highland Blade on the inside, Highland Blade HAS the lead!", when he got the lead in the last fifty yards or so. Yes, he was a little off at the end, but no one's perfect. He may not have been an Anderson or Johnson, but I've always liked his clear, concise style.
