Vindication

A tribute to 2002 American champion two-year-old colt Vindication, winner of the Breeder's Cup Juvenile. He was undefeated and untested, and now is gone far too soon. He will always be one of my personal favorites, as well as one of the best two-year-old champs in recent memory.
Music is the main theme from the To Kill A Mockingbird soundtrack. Footage from the Hill n' Dale Farm website.

Still the best Horse ive seen since the Bid in 79! No doubt in my mind had he been healthy he would have won the TC. People forget his BC Juvy was run at a mile and a 8th

He was the total package. Sad we'll never see any offspring of him by Strom Flag Flying. Thay would have been a dream breeding.

That would have been a match made in heaven. :) The best since Bid? That's quite an endorsement. I'm not old enough to have seen many truly great horses, but Vindication was definitely as impressive a two-year-old as I've seen. I would have loved to see him go for the Triple Crown.:)

It's a shame all the idiot announcer could say was "it's a sweep for Bob Baffert", and not pay enough credit to Vindication for winniner!
