I went "all" in that race, you know, just in case something came out of nowhere.

The Bid
Best horse I ever saw run in person.
He didn't even look that good, my father told me, "he looks like a milk horse."

Since my favorite "race" was brought to the table, let me throw this question out ( some of you might remember this since we talked about this before).
The connections of Bid were very upset after this race, why?

Did I ever tell you . . .
Make no mistake about it, I've done a few things, seen a few things, and studied a few things, not to mention the death of Ruffian.

Couple of things I'd like to share.
ALL the horses were scratched early in the morning. None wanted to run against the Bid even for 2nd or 3rd monies.
But NYRA management did not want to hurt the expected large attendance by announcing it was a walkover. I am sure people would have stayed home if they knew.
I think the first scratch or two were announced around noon and then the others were peeled off as the day went on.
I forgot the name of the last one scratched. He was considered the Bid's main contender. It was a Tartan horse and my guess is that it was Dr. Patches. I think Fappiano came later. Not 100 percent sure but Dr. Patches sounds more right to me.
I really do not remember hearing any booing but if it did happen I'm gonna guess that it was directed more at NYRA than at the Bid or Buddy or the Meyerhoffs.

It's an incredibly prestigious race and for nobody else to even want to step foot on the track for it speaks volumes about Spectacular Bid.
Probably the most deserving of the 2 out of 3s. He certainly would have been a worthy TC winner. He will always be the first of 36 KD winners to not finish the job.
