Not only was this the greatest Derby ever, but Tom Durkin also delivered the greatest call. Absolutely spotless and poetic. "Songandaprayer's pace is blistering down the back stretch" "Pent up power of Point Given." "Jorge Chaves gets busy on Monarchos" "Invisible Ink is there, Point Given not today" "He's pulling away by 2, he's pulling away by 3" Kids, take notes.

@johnwalsh3215 3 года назад

I’ll go along with 2nd best derby ever, 1:59.40 best derby ever, I won’t mention the name because this isn’t one of his videos, but this was a great race!!

@Daniel-ru4wm 2 года назад

I don’t know why but “Point Given, not today” has stuck in my head for twenty years. Great call by Durkin.

@rugger104 2 года назад

Tom Durkin was the best to ever do it, imo- told the story, eloquent, dramatic, always had you on the edge of your seat.

@drewrockwell2676 Год назад

Point given was riding terrible that day or he easily wins that race

@iceman22k Год назад

“The opening half mile was the fastest in derby history!” This race had the best horse names. All of them great.

“He was as fast as Sham”*

Mr. Fraction of a Second.

@bryanbahling2877 Год назад

Not as fast as Secretariat, but nearly as fast as Sham.

@richardcoreno Год назад

The track was a crafted into a launching pad for the Derby -- and if Big Red's record couldn't be broken then......no way will it ever going to be erased.

@mikeblast7507 8 месяцев назад

Absolutely great race, but track conditions also played a role. Monarchos caught lightening a a bottle that day; he was an above-average T-Bred, but not great.

@davidgarnett5150 3 года назад

Still 17 lengths ahead of American pharaoh and 20 ahead of Justify. Which the oaks winner the day before pharaoh ran 150 for 9 furlongs. She would have need to run 14 seconds for a final 8th to beat pharaoh.

@jeffthom1468 2 года назад

Only because they readjusted the finish time to make it slightly slower so that it didn't beat the Holy Grail time of Secretariat. I call BS!!!

@joshualamp2438 Год назад

@@jeffthom1468 not true, the final time announced in the race is 1:59.4/5, it’s still listed as that, Idk how he confused 4/5 and .40.

Fantastic race. Monarchos was the second fastest Derby winner, about 1/2 second behind Secretariat.

@brucerobbins6528 Год назад

Sec's actual time is still a mystery. The first time was not 1:53 flat. It was more. But a couple of reportest timed it and said no, he ran it faster. The Sec Fan Club bugged the Maryland Racing Commission for 20 years before the time was changed to the current time.

@mikeblast7507 8 месяцев назад

@@brucerobbins6528 Uh, that was the Preakness, not the Derby. In the Preakness, the official timer was damaged by people running across it. Sec's times in the Derby and the Belmont are no mystery.

@justiceprevail1552 2 года назад

One big difference was Monarchos jockey used the whip a lot, where Ron Turcotte never used the whip on Secretariat.

@andrewcocchiara268 2 года назад

Excuses Excuses, instead of diminishing this horse's accomplishment just because he almost overthrew your sacred king Secretariat, how about respect and congratulate the legendary race he ran!

@rugger104 2 года назад

Not true, Turcotte admits in interviews that he used the whip in the Derby

@jeffgarmon1 Год назад

Turcotte used the whip on Secretariat in the Kentucky Derby. It's there to see in the videos. Like 2 or 3 times down the stretch in his drive to catch/pass Sham.

@NJTDover Год назад

He was as fast as Secretariat ... Tom Durkin unique and colorful comparisons.

@Lexi_adventures Год назад

No he was not dont get me wrong bc im not but that race Manorchos= 1:59:97 and even Sham= 1:59:9 who was 2 lengths behind Secretariat= 1:59:4 seconds

Chavez and Monarchos ran a perfectly timed race that day even of PG was better overall it still depends on how you race em

But look at the other side of chop chop in this instance it's the way he employs his whip on Monarchos

@kevinevans5921 Месяц назад

Only derby i attended, my view was horrible. By the gate, saw them break and run by on the stretch. If I ever go again I’ll have a better view.

@bnegs521 Год назад

Gary Stevens TOTALLY BLEW Point Given's Triple Crown here. You do not need to tell him. He already knows.

@waynelennon2844 2 года назад

Another way to illustrates Jorge Chavez - chop chop brillance it doesn't requires much whipping for his horses to responds Call it "Poetry In Motion" aka Philip Feanny

@geraldmarufu7183 Год назад

Too many horses ran their best races ever. It makes you wonder how good secretariat was

@radjedi2010 3 года назад

What happened to Point Given in this race, he should have been a Triple Crown winner.

@jays443 3 года назад

He chased the early speed and used himself up.

@toppdogg2815 3 года назад

Too close to the early pace

@vaderam 2 года назад

The track played to the outcome, horse racing its called, lets say the track was packed down that day.

@geraldmarufu7183 Год назад

Triple crown winners don't run record times. The pace was too fast

@NalaRichenbach 26 дней назад

Monarchos was almost as fast. Songandaprayer had to set a blazing pace to set up a great stretch run for the winner....and we know that Secretariat could have run faster but he was two lengths ahead so why push for more. if Monarchos wasn't injured in the Preakness, he probably could have beaten Point Given in that race. However, the Belmont Stakes would have taken a tremendous effort to beat Point Given. Monarchos will forever be remembered for running the second fastest derby and a heck of a horse.

@waynelennon2844 2 года назад

Jorge Chavez (Chop Chop) just as equivalent to tooth loss

Chavez was the Greatest Jockey.

Sorry, not as fast as Secretariat. Also, could not reproduce his speed.

@regan3873 3 года назад

Bruh of all the racehorses ever Secretariat is not the one that needs defending. Nobody thinks he’s not one of the GOATs.

@greghudson6861 3 года назад

We are talking 3/10ths of a second, and I maintain Secretariat would not have run a time under 2 minutes if the field ran a half mile in 44 and 4. Secretariat is the all-time legend, but this was the greatest Derby performance of all time.

@forrestfenn7511 3 года назад

@@greghudson6861 Secretariats heart size and temperment (and performance at Belmont) beg to differ. Had Secretariat been in this field.........you would then see the greatest Debry performance of all time.

@greghudson6861 3 года назад

@@forrestfenn7511 I've said it, Secretariat was the better horse. But he WASNT in this 2001 field. So Monarchos, IMO, gets the title of "best derby run" while Secretariat remains "greatest horse that ever ran"

Monarchies never saw victory circle again just like Rich Strike

@Lexi_adventures Год назад

Secretariat would have beaten Manarcos with eas bc secretariat ran the derby at 1:59:4 or 1:59:2/5 and his cuz Sham was faster than that race with 1:59:9 and Manarcos is 1:59:97 listen/read closely
