Yeah that brought back some fond memories, there was also some lunacy in the betting, Rick's Natural Star actually went off lower than Marlin did...

Tough to pick a favorite, but this particular Classic ranks right up there in my heart. My avatar won.

Agreed. The horse that should have been put up got put down to third.

Bizarre call by the stewards.

I so badly wanted to see Skip Away repeat that year.

the 1985 classic was indeed a classic.......that was a solid field, gate dancer was one inlucky horse. you cannot run any better and not win.

Amen...............a look at the head-on will show that Wild Again came out as much as GD came in. His previous escapades worked against him with a pathetic call by the Stewards.

93,94,95 and 96 were my favorites...


1997 probably the least favorite..
