1990 Breeders' Cup Classic - Unbridled

[@laurenurban3942]

This was a heartbreaking breeders cup. One I would like to forget. I was happy to see the derby winner, Unbridled, get this win. Very courageous move to go between horses like that. I was so proud of him.

[@sammey1919]

I got chills listening to that call by Tom Durkin. What a race.

[@thenomadichistorian9922]

It is still very difficult to watch any of the 1990 Breeders Cup -- that was a very sad day!!!

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

Go For Wand? I remember. I was 15, at our local track, and forcing my dad to make illegal 3 dollar show bets every race. Go For Wand was the shit. Terrible to see her go down like that.

[@penelopelopez8296]

It was a horrible day in racing….beyond heartbreaking,

[@DanielSong39]

I'm really surprised that Unbridled is not in the Racing Hall of Fame

[@FoolishPrankster]

Carl Nafzger and Pat Day, glory years were at Arlington Park (period)

[@Caroni100]

Unbridled´s trainer Carl A. Nafzger (born August 29th. 1941 in Plainview, Texas) was awarded with the highest honours of two different sports in the same year: In 2008 he was inducted to both National Museum and Hall of Fame Racing in Saratoga Springs, New York and to Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas. Before Nafzger was involved in horse racing he was a Rodeo bullrider champion. Congratulations Mister Nafzger! Greetings from Venezuela.

+Caroni100 I'm happy you posted this information about Carl Nafzger. He is one of the great racing icons, and his moment with Ms. Genter during the stretch run of the Derby was a moment I will always cherish. The way he nurtured not only the horse but also the owner proved what a talented individual he really was. A true gentleman who excelled in all he did. God Bless you. Please take good care :-)

[@Caroni100]

Good night and thank you very much. Thirty six years later, those loving and tender images of Carl Nafzger and Mrs. Frances A. Genter (1898-1992) are still a part of "This is an ABC Special Presentation" segment (or is NBC?) I became a horse racing fan since my father (RIP) took me at La Rinconada Racetrack one Saturday afternoon when I was a nine year-old kid (I´m 53) He worked from Monday to Friday as a public accountant in an electricity company, and two weekends a month he worked in a locker betting at the racetrack. The view of thoroughbreds, the jockeys with their colourful shirts, the track. the gardens and the crowded grandstands shocked me (in a positive way, of course)

[@JOHNSTIER23]

Caroni100 was at Delaware park that fall afternoon and had 36 red ten dollars across and had the 1 2 4 in ri my heart was broke mike smith was 30 years younger than great times great track stories remember ing times seemed like yesterday times long ago and far away come back please try to make a calling

[@cowhanson]

still one of my all time favorite races...Ranks right up there with Sunday Silence, Winning Colors and.... Sillytwopockets,my Canterbury downs favorite horse.

[@FanOBarbaro]

RIP Izvestia...how heartbreaking his story was.he was to be retired to stud after his last race and they'd already started advertising him as a stud when he was fatally injured

[@raygordonteacheschess5501]

Several horses died in the 1990 BC: Mr. Nickerson, Go For Wand...

[@laurenurban3942]

😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@rickbeam]

The pinnacle of greatness!

[@jimcunningham61]

unbridled , sunday silence , American pharaoh , only 3 horses to win derby and classic as 3 yo

[@perryellis1423]

Unbridled is the great grandsire of American Pharaoh

[@monomoygirl9562]

Authentic

[@patrickduncanjr1045]

Is American Pharaoh the only horse to win the the triple crown and Classic

[@jimcunningham61]

@@patrickduncanjr1045 yes

[@L11_EFC]

Aww Ibn Bey, so close big man RIP.

[@rachelalexandra79]

+andrew Lewis Yes...he ran one heck of a bang-up second. He helped create one of the great stretch runs in Classic history.

[@moveoveryoy]

Really a shame that Unbridled hasn’t been inducted into the Horse Racing Hall of Fame yet.

[@flatonia]

When you bet on a horse like Unbridled, running the way he did here, it makes you feel very clever. Outside post guided to the inside to save ground, then squeezing through under Pat _Wait All_ Day to win by 3/4 length in last strides.

Unbridled was a great horse 👍🙂

[@ooee7855]

Unbridled Didnt even Flinch Squeezing Through! His Son Empire Maker Loved Belmont Park and The Sloppy Track 2!! As His Son American Pharoah!!

[@ايتاز]

oo ee american pharoah

[@RedBev59]

Pioneer of The Nile is American Pharoah's father. Unbridled is Arrogates grandfather.......Arrogates father is Unbridleds Song. ;) Arro gets his zippity doo da from both his grandfather AND his father. Wish they would continue to race him as a 5yr old next year. They get bigger, better and faster by age 5. BUT they will retire Arrogate after his BCC run Nov. 4th.

[@adolfogonzalezjr3304]

Rip unbridled🤠

[@NorthernTrader1]

That post postition had to cost Unbridled atleast 5 lengths. 5 seconds in to the race and he's already 10 lengths behind. Great closing job by Unbridled, ride by Day and training job by Nafzger.

OMG Unbridled wasn't even trying hard, his head was upright as he passes them two

[@freddiealcon4166]

He was a beautiful horse

[@rickbeam]

That's why Pat has his own Statue at Churchill.

[@chrispafrieddreams9118]

Coming from the worst post position in America ( they litterally start on the turn) Wait all day, Pat Day saved all the ground, & got up to get the $in deep stretch! Lucky for the super hot pace...❤️🙏👉🇺🇸👍

[@Caroni100]

Pat Day fue, es y será el vivo ejemplo de que la paciencia rinde frutos Esperó, esperó, esperó hasta que llamó a correr a Unbridled, el caballo respondió y Day hilvanó un soberbió pase entre dos para ganar una gran carrera !Que jinetazo! !No en vano ganó más de Ocho Mil (8,000) carreras!

[@gpipeline]

Unbridled had some big wins!

[@StFidjnr]

1st graded stakes win since the kentucky derby

what vhs tape is this from Im trying to buy it

Breeders cup the 1st 10 years

[@raygordonteacheschess5501]

Friend of mine had $50 wp on Ibn Bey and boxed with Unbridled he was very happy.

[@barrydan75]

Everyone talks about the ride by Pat Day (which was masterful), but don't overlook the ride by a young Mike Smith on Thirty Six Red. He nearly stole the race on a horse that was far below the quality of the horses that beat him.

[@frantroje3177]

OMG- what guts!

[@radamesrivera6536]

Pero solamente 1 a ganado la Triple corona y el classic

[@bmac7495]

Ibn Bey with a competent jockey would be a Breeders Cup Classic winner. Maybe Unbridled doesn’t have the same stud career. Maybe entire lines never happen.
