St. liam is a tough horse but I do think this was one of the weaker fields in BCC history.

R.I.P Saint Liam.. But I wish Ghostzapper was in this race.. He would have blown this field away.. He got hurt after running a mile in 1:33 under a hand ride.. After 6 months off.. He would have been back to back winner of this race..

does anyone else feel Saint Liam is very lowly regarded in horse racing? I wasn't a fan in 2005, but looking back i think he was one of the most solid horses of the decade. i just never hear about him...

@Arps103 why durkin over denman i like both... not just cuz i'm westcost - i'm objective about it... but 100x better - same as sayin denman bites

Terrific win by a really nice horse. Saint Liam was for real. He dang near beat Ghostzapper and that horse could run a hole in the wind. Bailey took him wide around the entire oval and he still won for fun. Tragically, this horse died young, but he earned his place in history.

No.

Ironically, Saint Liam had a beyer of 113, the lowest beyer in BC Classic history. Durkin does a great job, although denman is decent as the new BC voice. Finally, belmont never looked better under the autumn sunset

[Arps103]

yeah, unfortunately. I wish he still called it. Hes 100x better than Denman.

This was the last Breeder's Cup race called by Tom Durkin?
