Before people get upset, I just thought Loach was a cool part of the Strike the Gold story. When I think of one, I always think of the other.

Sad News! His 1991 Belmont with HAnsel was one for the ages. I know Haskin is on tomorrow's show. Please Steve, make him talk about their epic confrontation in the Belmont Stakes!

Here is the race for those who want to see it again:

This could also be a good chance for a Thoroughbred Legacy! Maybe you could have Zito on???

Great Belmont with Hansel.

I was a big Strike The Gold fan in my days as a pre-teenager. I never missed a chance to try and talk my grandfather into betting on him during his long lasting losing streak.

My grandfather lost money so consistantly on him that he started calling him "Strike The Sh!t" but I could still persuade him that this would be the time that he'd win.

That was a great replay, thanks. Rest in peace, STG.
