haha did you hear the crowd after he crossed the finish? thats hilarious its sounds like they were all stunned. theres a great story behing pat day and lil e tee, pat day was actually looking for a better mount all week after he was commited to e tee. all the connections to the horse told him everyday that he was gong to win it, not even joking you got to look up the story hes one of my fave just because of it. did u know he was born on in a barn that bred mainly trotters and pacers?

That's quite the amazing backstory. Lil E Tee ran the race of his life that day, and having "patient" Pat Day on his back certainly helped. I guess it was just meant to be!

Thanks for sharing that excellent info.

Have a great week!

Dr Devious went on to win the Epsom Derby a month later...whilst Arazi juts flopped, and flopped, and flopped...

It's really too bad that Arazi wasn't able to live up to all the, to be honest, unrealistic hype that surrounded him. It would have been great for him to continue on as he did in the '91 BCJ, but alas, it just wasn't meant to be. Take care.

Arazi was never the same after his knee operations. He wasn't fit, either.

Yeah, I remember Arazi romping in the Juvenile and expecting to see the same thing in this race. He made that huge move like he did in the Juvenile but was out of run by the top of the stretch. I was one of the people suckered into that one.

I don't know if arthroscopic surgery cost Arazi the race, perhaps he was really was miler, but it was unrealistic and unfair to have brought him back so soon after double knee surgery and expect him to win. When an athlete, like a basketball player has arthroscopic surgery they say they need at least a year to come back all the way.

Arazi was never the same after he had surgery on both knees after BC junevile.

I'm surprised so many bet him up. You can be out 5 months then have one race on turf and expect to win the Derby. He wasn't fit and like I said before was never the same after his operation

thats was not the arazi i know that horse had a jet engine at times on it

[OppPaul]

I know what you mean...I overbet that

Arazi also. the biggest Ky Derby bet I

ever made...and the worst.

I made up my mind to bet the horse in

November...the Breeders Cup Juvenile.

Was on Millionaires Row that day. I lost a small fortune on this race. Believed all the hype and bet Arazi BIG. When I tell the story, I have always said that my horse never got a call. This video proves otherwise. He actually had a shot coming around the final turn. I quit betting sports because of this race.....probably turned out to be a good thing!

[RavenRuled]

I remember that day too. There was so much Arazi talk. My sister bet him...I bet Pistols and Roses but when Pat Day delivered that on 'Tee I was silenced as well as all the people who couldn't beleive Arazi wilted. Good horse among many in the 91-92-93 seasons.
