jgb3 thats tom Durkin, I was lucky to grow up with him calling the races on the New York circuit. He’s the best track announcer to ever step foot into a booth .
@@justinnicklas4712 The guy is phenomenal. I've watched this about 20 times and I am still impressed how he injects so much information into his call. He's doing this in real time but he almost sounds like he had an hour to write his commentary.
I couldn't agree more, curlin was amazing in this race and so was Street sense, and Hard Spun. This year was my favourite year for the triple crown of maybe since Point given.
He stumbled at the start. Nobody ever talks about that when talking about this race. Profoundly under appreciated horse. He wins back to back classics if on dirt. It's a shame a true dirt horse can't be himself in this age of synthetics. That said shit call by Durkin.
One of the best crop of 3 year olds I've seen. Only one missing here was Rags to Riches. Thank God too cause the handicap horses were sub-par that year.
Both horses ran a huge race!No one deserved to lose,I think they tied (or came very close at the very least)the Stakes record time. These two were very close in running ability. Street Sense took Curlin in the K-Derby,then they had this epic meeting,and later Curlin got Street Sense in the BB Classic. The only thing disappointing about that was the horrid track conditions. But oh well everyone had to run on it. I think it did compromise Street's chances though. TWO GREAT HORSES!!!!!
Curlin has very big huge strides, I can see his strides weren't as fast acceleration as Street sense but he sure did come up to get there. And It did look like SS was gonna get there, his strides to me were more impressive, but it just goes to show that curlin was being a little stubborn i kinda think.
@@WellArmed3332 Rags to Riches stumbled coming out of the gate, ran wide pretty much all the way, a lot of ground to make up. She 100% earned that win.
