I can't find any video on Youtube of one of the most incredible races EVER...when Broad Brush blew the turn in the Pennsylvania Derby and rallied from the parking lot to win up the outer rail under Angel Cordero. In the "legends of racing" tour pre-BC this year, Cordero called it one of, if not THE, most eventful big race win of his career...and we know he's had a lot of em.

TRIVIA: Who was the person credited for getting Broad Brush to change direction back down the stretch by waiving his arms from behind the outer rail?

i read that he thought he would have to jump clear, rather than take the chance of being on the horse should he try to leap the rail. i also read after the race that he said he'd never ride that blankety blank horse again...of course, he rode him again!

they have a show on rfdtv that once had an episode with racehorses from days gone by. they showed video of the horses and some of their races-ack ack being one of them. i hadn't realized til that show that ack ack had been owned later in his career by a big hollywood celeb. they also showed round table, swaps, silky sullivan.... a second trivia question-who was ack ack's star owner?
