Everyone knew they had just seen something very unique and special. After the race the track was buzzing about it for quite awhile.

I wasnt into racing at that point really, only watching a few races on TV or going to a couple races at that track with my parents but it was Nightline special with Ted Kopel about Arazi before the derby. I put 20 bucks on him at 4/5 because I didnt know any better.
I am not sure there was a day in the next 3-4 years I did not spend at an OTB, working at the track, a horse farm, etc.
