Recently watched a program on America's HRTV taped in 2009 that touched on some of the best horses and best races of the first 25 years of the Breeders Cup. Pebbles 1985 BC Turf win was one of the races touched on in the program. It was said that Pebbles was such a nervous and high strung filly that trainer Clive Brittain actually gave her a pint of guinness everyday, and she had her own traveling pony to help keep her calm!! LOL. A pint of guinness a day to a filly!! LMFAO!!

@snogand Strawberry Road was a wonderful horse. Pat Ellery out-rode everyone in this race. Had Wilcox held his rail run with Strawberry Road he would have won easily. Pebbles though... what can you say?

just watched the Secretariat movie and became a bit emotional at how great a horse he was and then watched this.... that's finished me off! I loved Pebbles, a bonny filly who always tried her heart out. On that Champion Stakes day she was unbeatable.

Pebbles, be still my beating heart! What a super filly!

Eddery looking over the shoulder in the champ was epic

Pebbles was the World's #1 rated racehorse for 1985 by Timeform. She's an official World Champion. I agree, that was a great race call. I love to see Strawberry Road in pedigrees. I believe he was the broodmare sire of one of my all time favorites -- Vindication (RIP)

Teleprompter was a massive horse and Pat knew that when he hit the final bend at full speed he wouldnt be able to take the bend.So he closed up behind and waited.Sure enough Teleprompter drifts off the rail as he tries to find his feet and Pat dives for the gap.The rest is history.But great race riding.

This track record still stands at Aqueduct (New York) almost 30 years later.
