i adore gulch! i go to see him everytime im in kentucky. he luvs old friends farm.... if you visit him dont forget your carrots and peppermints... he is very particular !!! if you dont have something for him he will walk right away from you! hahahah

[@susanurban5920]

Gulch was a great stallion and an even greater race horse.

[@christopherduganberry236]

What guts this horse had. Far back for most of the race...he comes from between horses in mid stretch and outkicks Play The King. Gulch showed how good he really was.

[@Letswinjeff1]

Christopher Duganberry he still is for being a horse of 31 yrs of age. he has all his muscles still and is still a horse who will only take life on his own terms. he likes his carrots but when he is done he walks to the back of his paddock and will ignore you. he is amazing!!

[@goldenbriar02]

the sad thing is..... Play the King had to be destroyed the following year... He is rememberd by the Play the King stakes run at Woodbine ( his home track ) every August....he was awesome !!

[@jlove8445]

Play The King had me thinking he was going to win this race in the stretch, made Canada proud that day

[@user-cc3vb9io5k]

@@jlove8445 my father was aboard Play The King in this race. That horse helped him pave his career as a champion jockey. Much respect and love for that horse.

[@jlove8445]

Your father won 3 races for my Dad who was an owner back then. I knew your dad a little bit as well. Great guy and great rider who rode some of the greatest Canadian breds in the history of Canadian racing. I know there are a lot of great names from the past but horses like With Approval and Izvestia were as good a Canadian bred anyone could ever dream of. Cheers

Greatest ride ever?

Until next year when Angel did it again in the same race maybe?

RIP Gulch 1-17-16

[@Letswinjeff1]

+73KHS I felt so bad the day he passed away. I would visit him every yr out at old friends and feed him carrots. I had even had cupcakes delivered to him for his birthday 2 yrs ago. he was a wonderful champion. he passed away on my birthday. so i guess i can always keep him with me in thought.

[@73KHS]
