HELLO!!???

The whole Y2K thing is *so* OVER!!! So is Dial-up. Thanks for posting this, I'm loving the walk down Memory Lane. Unless it's leading to Dial-up.
And, FYI, Hawkster turned out to be an awesome racehorse. And I believe he sired Afleet Alex's momma. Probably someone has already mentioned this. I came in late on this and I'm trying to post here, listen to high school football, supervise a girl riding one of my horses and cook on the grill.

This is my favorite race of all time as well. I haven't seen it in years, and have not yet seen it on Youtube. What I do remember is that closeup head on shot in deep stretch. Sunday Silence had Easy Goer pinned in on the rail. You can see Easy Goer's ears pinned back and he looks at his rival like he's pissed off. He was trying like hell, but Sunday Silence was just the better horse that day. If their positions had been reversed, with Easy Goer on the outside, it may have been a different result.

I agree about the ABC coverage. It was outstanding. As was NBC's coverage of the early Breeders' Cup runnings. NBC had their A team for the first few years. People like Dick Enberg, Harvey Pack, and Jenny Ornsteen were part of the broadcast. After the first few years the second stringers took over, and the production was not as good.

Sounds like Armaggedon to me. Not so sure about Y2K anymore, are we?

The irony is that your evening sounds a lot like my list of vices, which includes betting on high school football, leering at girls on horseback, and firebombing my neighbor's property...

I wonder if there is a professional highschool football linemaker anywhere in the country.
