On TV, 1991 Strike the Gold, which is weird because I'd been a fan for a few years, but for some reason didn't see the Derby until then. One reason, I'm sure, that I picked him to win was the montage about what happened to Alydar. I won't pretend I knew anything about numbers or conformation at that time. I just knew a sad story and that he was a chestnut.

Random thing related to that, someone I knew tried to convince me their parents owned Strike the Gold. The guy was a pathological liar, and obviously they didn't own the horse, but didn't stop him from swearing it was so.
