This is just an amazing performance by both horses. The final time, 1:48.66, wasn't all that special, but the race itself was really one for the ages.

Another one I thought was pretty amazing was Swept Overboard's win in the 2002 Met Mile....in 1:33.34. Couldn't find the race on Youtube.

Great call on the Whitney, I was only 14 and remember being there and betting the race. I bet Victory Gallop, maybe $5 bucks. I used to go with my Uncle and Grandma all the time.
