I hated Bid! He broke my heart so many times beating Flying Paster (all time favorite) growing up in so. cal. I did not realize it at the time, but he is the best horse i've ever watched in person.
I would walk by his barn at S.A and it would just ruin my day..lol...It was like the Vikings beating the Rams everytime they faced eachother in the playoffs. Those losses to the Bid stung so bad...But what a racehorse!!!!

Thanks for posting; I'd never seen that before.

Loved listening to the booing as he ran. When the choice is between gambling and witnessing a great horse's walkover, gambling will win out. God bless New Yorkers. Going forward I'll have to be less judgmental about the time Philly fans booed Santa Claus.

The booing was directed at the trainer.

I thought I heard the sportscasters saying it was because the walkover meant a race they couldn't wager on.

Maybe so...

It seems so out of place looking back at the race.
