Yeah.

Harvey's a legend. Among other things he created " Thoroughbred Action " and was the host for somewhere around 20 years.

A few amazing battles those 2 horses had. Seems like Dr. Fager was a pure sprinter but asked to go a distance. Damascus had the better running style for a distance horse... Its just too bad we never horses battle more than a couple times now a days. Just great to see.

Gotta love youtube. Its great to watch older races that pre date me being alive or predate my interest. Thanks for posting.

Skip Away winning his BC Classic

Bellamy Road winning his Wood Memorial

Monarchos winning his KY Derby

Ghostzapper winning an allowance race where he stumbled badly at the start spotting the field many lengths

Funny Cide winning his Preakness

Separated Love winning the last race of the day at Saratoga on Hopeful Day the year Lucky Roberto won the Hopeful (How can I forget? Had Tactical Cat hung on in the Hopeful, I would have cashed a 40K ticket. Still the most money I have ever won on any race in my life)

Love Sign winning the Beldame in 1980 (She also won it in 1981)

We've established that Harvey Pack is the 'older gentleman' on the Siro's Seminars, but who's the other guy... the terminal hipster?

Nice, is he going to be back next year? I remember he was leaning towards retirement at the end of last year.
