Who else is here to remember this incredible horse? Rest peacefully PG 🧡

i just saw the news about point given a few minutes ago rip point given 💕

point given we will love you forever rest in peace 💕

[@Wigfield84]

Point Given is such a "what could have been" horse along with Barbaro for the triple crown. Also, fun to see these races again and remember other horses like Invisible Ink and poor Dollar Bill. That boy had such a nose for trouble! These broadcasts did such a good job at getting you hyped and ready, and also get you attached to the horses and really feel like you knew them. These days it's all "look at the celebrities!" "look at the hats!" and "look at this expensively made mint julep!"

[@boxcarent.3147]

Once Barbaro broke through the gate he was doomed.

[@boxcarent.3147]

Agree 100%.

[@jackwynperle3720]

I agree, these broadcasts were SO MUCH better than what we get today. Tom Hammond and Bob Costas simply can't be replicated; neither can that NBC triple crown jingle...always gives me goosebumps.

[@marknevin106]

Great piece on Chris Antley - a tortured soul but very talented rider - and what can you say about Point Given - he was something very special

[@thehealthychefri]

RIP Big Boy you were a Big Stud at the Big Sandy!

Point given was a beast no doubt should won triple crown bad ride in the derby

[@kentuckyman21]

Yep I thought the same

[@billybrownstar]

PG is the best horse to not win TC since Spectacular Bid.

[@michaelpflug394]

Billy Brownstar When he accelerated around the far turn in Ky. Derby I thought he was going to blow them all away but for some reason he stopped that day . Will always say he was the best horse Baffert had at three. If I’m not mistaken, still the only horse to win Preakness, Belmont, Haskell, and Travers.

[@drewrockwell8000]

Billy Brownstar yep for sure

Too bad injury forced him into retirement after the Travers. I can only imagine what this magnificent animal might have shown us as a four year old.

[@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl]

Point Given was a stunning horse reminds me of Secretariat!

[@brittanyhostetter9716]

One minute and twenty-six seconds? That is one fast Belmont!

[@victoranthony9037]

2 minutes and 26 seconds, not 1. Durkin was lost lol

[@goodlooking5554]

@Ved Valmyr , Secretariat's record will more faster if the Jockey whip him....

[@richardsanders5275]

You folks sound like very wise Horseman & Horsewomen ---- all of u realize that Secretariat's Winning Belmont Stakes time of (2:24) Flat over 1 & 1/2(1.5) mile distance on dirt will NEVER EVER & I mean NEVER be broken !!! We've all heard the phrase " never say never " , well there IS one time with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY u can say it until the End of Time: Secretariat's World Record of (2:24 FLAT) over a mile and a half distance on dirt , BOOK IT !!!!

[@MariaProvencio-wb5qm]

God bless you up in heaven baby yeah 👍👍👍 point given!!!!!!!!!

[@theearl1477]

Should have won the Triple Crown. Topped it off by winning the Travers Stakes. His performance cemented his status as one of the best horses of all time. Sadly getting injured at Saratoga prevented him from further racing glory. In my opinion the Belmont Stakes is the true test for any horse. Just think you are asking a three year old horse to run a mile and a half. It's uncanny yet Point Given ran one of the fastest times ever. Further proof of knowing how special Secretariat really was.

[@jenniferjeffers7967]

Love you Inky.....

[@gregrice1532]

Wow I didn't even know he died rip point given

[@gregrice1532]

Chris antley was sad when he got killed

[@kennethnero2011]

I sure wish invisible ink won the Ky derby... That would have been a great story but he came back from a bad sickness so that's good enough

Doctor Greenfield with some trouble getting into the gate there. There's always one horse in a race that doesn't want to get in the gates!

[@agustindejesus7398]

Baffert, you said a while ago felt not really welcome around here eh? What about now in 2021 do you feel welcome? Did you cheated with Point Given?.....just asking!

[@fayekao5334]

nothing has been suggested about many of Bafferts best horses including PG. To take a potshot twenty years later is very weak and gutless.

@@fayekao5334 they just haters and that otiment had no effect on outcome of race but people think they know racing and they don't it was not doping either ask john servis and steve and other big trainers abo

Last Belmont Stakes with the Twin Towers up.

[@bnegs521]

The final time "1 minute 26 and 4/5 seconds" typical Tom Durkin call.

[@johnforeman634]

Every year you have to think about what the great Secretariat was able to achieve. I love watching horse racing but there’s some things I don’t understand; can someone tell me why some Belmonts have only 5 horses( like in 73) and others have more?

[@rickchyczewski576]

Because owners and trainers sometimes don't want to enter their horse in such a long race. It's a true test of speed and stamina. It's a horse breaker.

[@IslandGirl-nt6ry]

The other owners/trainers considered the 73 Belmont a "match race" between Secretariat and Sham. They came in first and second in the Derby and the Preakness. Which is exactly what it turned out to be. Too much chance of injury and they wanted to retire those horses to stud where the real money is made.

[@NomadCollective]

***** after winning the Travers he was retired to Three Chimneys due to an injury.

Huge horse.

[@cmeflywva]

I saw him at Three Chimneys and he looked like a train. Huge, beautifully quartered, glowing, and confident in who he was. I wondered how he could have lost a race. I have beautiful pictures of him that day framed in my office.

[@robertpalatsky5017]

Sucks that Gary rushed him in the Derby. Even he said he cost Point Given the Triple Crown.

[@kikovenegas1325]

I don’t think PG could of won the derby no matter if he ran it different, no way he could of beat Secretariats record

[@drewrockwell8000]

disagree totally the way they ran him is why he lost in Kentucky Derby

[@YouDontKnow-that]

Spectacular Bids' best 10F time, puts him 8 lengths ahead of Secretariat's best 10F time. 🤣
