@Phanatic24601 Read Charles Hatton PP's in his last article he ever wrote before retirment in fhe Daily Racing Manual 1974. He stated he did. Daily Racing forum clocked him just like they clocked him in the Preakness where they clocked him in 1:53 2/5 and also clocked him pulling up in the Belmont in 2:37 3/5 for the 1 5/8th mile. I can give you the URL in the inbox if you wish.Its not a johnnycomelately statement. Its fact.

Barbaro Kentucky Derby 2006 & extended post race coverageby Dingerz95,158 views
I cried when flying paster, Cal Bred, and my favorite horse of all time chucked it in on the far turn. In April of that year, I was 19 and was diagnosed with bone cancer and told my right leg would be amputated and I had a 50/50 chance to live. I needed Paster to beat Bid to boost my spirits but he couldn't, never could, flopped in the Preakness, too.. I survived though, have a family with two great kids, but I think all the time about the kids I met in the hospital that didn't make it.

Very sorry to hear of your troubles. I'm glad to read of your triumph over cancer and nice family. I hope life is treating you kindly nowadays. Yes, those poor kids... I believe those that don't make it are in a much better place now.
The Paster was a fine horse, but, yes, The Bid just seemed to be his "waterloo", if you will. Nevertheless, I always admired his fighting spirit whenever they met. He gave it his all, everytime.
God bless you, and may you have a wondrous Christmas.
