Look at Pat talking shit at the end.... lmao.

Pat Day was OWNED by Pat Valenzuela. Day rode the superior horse again, and another ridiculously bad and owned ride on the best horse.

Valenzuela did absolutely own Pat wait all Day. Day hit him once, one time in the stretch.

@cheeriosinabowl He was my choice that year. I always liked him and he is just a gorgeous horse.

.... I checked it out and yes, you're right -- Sky Classic is still alive at 24 years old. Wow. I stand corrected.

Up here at Woodbine (in Toronto) he was almost unbeatable. What a great horse he was.

@cheeriosinabowl Sky Classic is still alive and standing at stud in Kentucky. Fraise passed away in 2005.

I am Canadian and wanted Sky to win so badly -- hearbreak motel to see him lose to Fraise.

All in all, Sky was one of the best racehorses in Canada ever. RIP, big fella.

i really liked Fraise that day, but i had to ditch the races and go study for the CPA exam which was only 3 days away and so i did not have a cent on him....no matter, it was a cheap win anyway, that group couldn't hold a candle to the turf stars before or since....but in retrospect, i should have drank a gallon of Knob Creek on the morning of the exam and instead put $5000 on Fraise....frustrated to no end, the next day i lost $600 on the Eagles as the Cowboys stomped them.....

c'mon. "the cadence quickens and the duel intensifies?"  should have been a poet. great, great race call. oh, and I bet on Fraise that day....12-1.
