Thanks so much for posting this Partymanners. I can't remember the last time I've seen this race, and this is how remember The Bid. He was on his toes in the post parade, a little sweaty loading in, and he made that big run to take command at the end of the backstretch and win going away.

I get what you’re saying but he was 3/5 in the derby against a much bigger field and trounced the same contenders. In a 5 horse field the best one could have hoped for was 1/5 but that turned out to be a pipe dream.

It is controversial what I am going to say but it is my very particular opinion, I think that Spectacular Bid is after Secretariat the most Remarkable racehorse in the USA (I do not include mares) and it is a pity that I have lost the triple crown and that I have not received the recognition it deserves. I think that if from the beginning its rider had been a man of experience like Shoemaker, the story would be very different.

Yet he still eclipsed Affirmed, Seattle Slew, Secretariat and all but Cannonaro 2...who was full out in his magnificent run. In fact, THE BID is an underrated animal. This in my opinion is history`s greatest thoroughbred....Swaps....Tom Fool....Forego......and Spectacular Bid...A nice top 4, would1nt you agree?

Due to the drama of the Preakness electronic timer in '73, Secretariat's original time was 1:55, changed to 1:54 2/5 (although he was independently clocked at 1:53 2/5), which stood controversially for 39 years, then finally in 2012 changed to 1:53 flat by the Maryland Racing Commission, so he still holds the record. As long as nobody changes their minds again. But as we all know, while Secretariat's Preakness win was one of the most thrilling ever, with Sham right behind him it was not by the same decisive margin Bid showed here. Just plain spectacular, Bid! (and definitely Forego forever!)

@brucerobbins6227 10 жыл бұрын
Chloe Smyth who cares about Sec? The Sec nuts bothered the Maryland Board for 20 years, simply so that Sec would have the track record. The time has been equalled many times, even by a filly. Why you guys are obsessed by fractions of a second is beyond me. The Bid ran it in 1.54, but you have to jump in a say that Sec ran in faster. The Bid did much more than Sec ever did. Time is not important. Winning the race is. And Bid won a lot more than Sec, bearing weight. And setting records on the side.

I personally prefer Secretariat over *any* racehorse to ever graze the Earth. He won by 31 lengths in the Belmont Stakes. I know that he had lost a few big races, but in most of those, he had an illness/health problem. Since he had a contract-of-sorts, and many people had come to see him, he was required to run. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT Spectacular Bid was still a good horse. He is in my top 10. :P

Not so sure about that. The track variant that day was a 14, which is decent - not slow nor blazing fast. The ABC announcers were saying that Churchill plays fast on a drying track which was the case that day. If the Derby was the only race that day, the variant would have been 15. So, there were other races on the undercard that collectively ran slightly closer to track records than the Derby.
