Two bitchin horses man.

Both two of my all time favorites.

I almost missed my high school graduation so that I could bet Snow Chief in his debut.

For some reason, the '86 Malibu was one of my favorite races. They both seemed to really want that. Snow Chief was always that way, but Ferdinand brought it that day, too. Ferdinand hadn't run since his 3rd in the Belmont. Snow Chief was coming off knee surgery, and hadn't raced since July. Both trainers were ready though.

I had a son of Snow Chief, he died from colic about 20 years ago, he was beautiful but so slow my Morgan mare beat him in a match race. I loved the horse though as I loved Snow Chief.

I was at Hollywood Park when Melair smoked Snow Chief, I was so disappointed, but Melair was something special.

Yeah, I was there that day too.

That's the only time I ever saw a standing ovation given to the winner of a race that wasn't the odds on favorite (she wasn't even favored, of course).

When she went from 3/4s in 108 to 7/8ths in 119.4, I thought to myself that I'll probably never see a performance like this ever again.
