Sham finally giving up and the racing world being stood on it's head. Even with all his experience he'd never faced anything remotely close to what Big Red did. He described it all with wonderful verbage, accuracy and sense of the moment. His call is part of the legend of that feat. IMO the greatest racecall ever made.

Oh yeah, there is many a late night I pull Chic Anderson's call of Secretariat's Belmont up on YouTube.
"He is moving like a tremendous machine!"
And of course, there is always the 19th win of
Peppers Pride...
