aiken800 do you have audio with any of these horses Indian Flame, Arizona, Ramvin, Harlequin, Golden Sky, African Sky, Merengue, Common Law, Fire in you wire, Hot Line, 5 round specialist Willy Nilly, Vivace, Kruger, Vivaldi all trained by Eileen Cliggott. 70'S to early 80'S Era. These horse names should resonate with a lot of horse veterans. Big it up punters👊🏻
I would love to see the 76 derby with Georgie winning on Reca for Ren Gonzalez and the 77 derby with Fitzroy(pumpkin)Gillespie winning on Legal light for Billy Williams and the 78 derby with Fitzroy(dizzie)Gillespie winning on Zell for Howard McKenzie, maybe it will be difficult, any one of them would greatly appreciated...
Every time I listen this race I get goosebumps.....This was Bimbo at his very best...One of the GREATEST derby in Jamaica....it must certainly be among the top 3.... Bimbo won that derby....not the horse!
I think 1980 Derby was won black night with fitsroy Gillespie capital hill second with bimbo third was thunder bird with Karl Brown karl Brown trow away the race by going toe to toe with eclipse with Winston Griffiths
Years later, more recently in fact, Bimbo admitted that Lucky Ole Son had shut off at about the 2 furlong pole in the stretch, so he had to commence the ‘resurrection’ from earlier than most of us realize.
They must have the video of this race at a TV studio somewhere in Jamaica..JBC maybe..Still the most thrilling derby ever..even after some 40 years on..brilliant
Every time i listen to race i get so emotional, i always have to be by myself teary-eye , this race fill with everything especially the great Chris hammond may his soul rip❤❤
No other jockey would have won that derby other than the great Bimbo..it took skills,determination and strength to picked up an exhausted animal and drove him to a short head victory..undoubtedly the greatest most thrilling derby ever..as even today people are still talking about it all over the world..
Barring none Chris Armond is the best race caller I've heard and i listen to everything in the US if he had gone international he would be calling the Kentucky derby .
I also hearing about this race too,n dying to see it. Now,hear i am,searching and found it,about to watch the video,up on there now for the few seconds,i couldnt saw the video,but listening to the legend,"RIP SIR",it becoming so interesting,i almost too nearly curse bd word,because i was laughing so hard on how he was commentating, very fast,n well experience,making it a oneofakind.🙏👏👏👏Am going to continue to listening to the race now n from there's time.
This Derby will never leave my memory Its the most wonderful race I have the privilage to see Jamaica Jockeys are the best hats off to Chest-BIMBO what a ride
This has to be one of the BEST Derby in the history of horse racing in Jamaica.... that was a SUPERB ride from Bimbo.....One of his BEST rides ...if not the BEST... He was a truly distinguished rider! Lucky Ole Son almost collapse due to exhaustion shortly after the race .....the horse was ridden for all it was worth!!
I was there as a young man I think it was the strength of bimbo on Lucky oleson that kept him up to beat chaka chaka on atta boy an pumpkin on lover boy CES truly appreciate one of the best an closest up to now
Remember this race very well. As a kid, was just getting into racing during these times and was cheering for Bold Magic. Bimbo would later become my favorite jockey. I remember the local Sunday newspaper featured the Derby prominently along with the Wimbledon Tennis final won by Bjorn Borg.
I was really disappointed for not seeing a video of such a great Derby i dont think i will ever see one like it again because i was there Bimbo have to jump off Lucky old son as he pass the winning post that was a peach of a ride
I ask about it and was told that most of the old JBC recordings, the tape were reused, recorded over on, including the entire Ring Ding and Where It at tapes catalogs, so all those history are lost
@@peterlevell7234 I don't think Jamaica's racing authorities (?) has those tapes. It would have been JBC. I figure the practice in those days was to reuse the tapes because of cost. Maybe it was a lack of vision because I'm sure they could sell copies of those tapes for good money now.
