@Horse Racing Fan 99, Agreed! I've always been a huge Beholder fan, but I readily admit that I had Songbird picked over Beholder in the Distaff. But I'm really happy for Beholder and I consider it the best money I ever lost, LOL. I would also add that I think Songbird proved that she's the real deal in this race. She ran such a good race in her own right that you really hate to see either of them get tagged with a loss for their performances in this race.

Horse Racing Fan 99 The Distaff & Classic were mirror images. Both SONGBIRD & CALIFORNIA CHROME loose on the lead sitting on uncontested leads only to be run down by amazing performances. Unfortunately, stupid idiots blame Espinoza. What would u have like the man to do? Go 45 and change for the half instead of 47:15? Both BEHOLDER & ARROGATE ran down their rivals off of similar fractions yet the venom towards Victor Espinoza is totally uncalled for.

Well, I don't think anything would have changed the outcome in the Distaff. Both Beholder and Songbird have uncommon speed and endurance. However, in the Breeders Cup Classic Chrome probably didn't do himself any favors by leading a slow pace. Had he picked it up early he could have worn down Arrogate, leaving him with no kick at the end of the race. Who know, though? As Steve Spurrier once famously said, "Hindsight is 50/50."
@billjones2613
@billjones2613 8 жыл бұрын
That's an over generalization. I'm not talking rabbit pace. As leisurely as the early pace was, Chrome easily could have set a faster pace without tiring himself, forcing Arrogate to pick up his own pace, theoretically having less in the tank at the end to challenge Chrome. A slower pace benefits the faster horse with less endurance. A faster pace can benefit a slower horse with more endurance. Regardless, Arrogate at this point in their careers is probably the better horse.

This why horse racing is both such a fantastic and, yet, such a cruel sport virtually all at the same time. A race for the ages between two of the megastars of their era and a lesser known competitor breaks down and has to be destroyed. A bit of a pall cast over what has to be the crowning glory of the legendary Beholder's racing career. Props to, to Songbird, for making this race one that will never be forgotten. Also, RIP to that poor equine who lost her life giving more than her body was physically able to give and in the end paid the ultimate price. I wish I could remember her name. Oh well, not important. I say that because we all know that in the grand scheme of things when this race is recalled that tragic occurrence will be all but forgotten.

One of those races where in defeat your respect for the horse increases.

Sad that the race was marred by the loss of Corona del Inca.

Poor Stellar Wind. No way you can spot horses like Beholder and Songbird the start. She really never had much of a chance given their talent. As for Songbird I'm very impressed. I happen to think the 3 year old filly crop is good and deep this year and she's been beating them with ease. Losing to a consummate older champion like Beholder by a bob of the nose after an entire stretch drive is incredibly impressive. First time she was seriously challenged in a race and she responded like the champion she is. Next bob after the wire her nose was in front, it was that close. Finally, hats off to Beholder. Looks like she's proved she never lost a step and confirmed that the level of her competition was much better this year than what she ran against last year, including that weak Pacific Classic field which she trounced!

I know what you mean...but "much better" is debatable. A horse's life was lost in this race, too, Argentinian visitor Corona del Inca. She can be seen veering off to the outside at 1:46 - 1:48. She was already trailing, so her fatal breakdown was far less noticeable/dramatic than that of Go For Wand.

I know a lot of people are going to disagree in the comments, but I don't really care. This is got to me for seven or eight years now, not so much that I even care, but because how people can screw up so easily, if you watch really closely songbird clearly got her head down in front of beholder, when you're just watching it and even in replay if it's going too fast, it seems very obvious that beholder one, her whole body was in front, but you got to realize that songbird is a smaller horse , she got her nose down before behold or even got to the wire

Neither horse gave an inch, what a great race by two great champions. Too bad Stellar wind never got in the mix after her bad start. I never heard an explanation of what happened to her, but I hope she wasn't injured.

No se que le pasó a Mike Smith: en la recta de enfrente lucía a lomos de Songbird una silla "a la venezolana": parado sobre los estribos y ejerciendo un efecto de paracaídas como si hubiera traspasado la meta. En mi modesta opinión, eso cansó a Songbird. En cuanto a Gary Stevens: ¡Sencillamente espectacular! Con 58 años de edad sigue ganando carreras cómo si fuera un muchacho de 25 ¡Y mire que ha sufrido unas cuantas fracturas! En una entrevista hace más de diez años, dijo que a lo largo de su carrera se había roto ¡6 vertebras! y que tiene los hombros completamente reconstruidos amén de 5 ó 6 operaciones en cada rodilla. No me cansaré de ver ésta carrera. Saludos desde Ciudad Guayana, Estado Bolívar.

This was a wonderful race, but this record of it will be marred by the weak stretch call. Mr. Tom Collmus isn't a bad announcer, but he is too inconsistent to be used for big races like the Breeders' Cup. Here he fumbled his words and his voice broke (again, it happens over and over in tight races). Can't he take some voice lessons to cure that tendency? Every time I watch one of his races I dread that Mr. Collmus will suddenly go soprano. Has there ever been a race were he rouse to the event like Dave Johnson, Chic Anderson, Marshall Cassidy or Tom Durkin? All those men had some bad moments, but those were greatly out numbered by the highs. Can you imagine what a young Dave Johnson would have done with this race? Oh well, NBC doesn't care about what I have to say; Mr. Collmus has a multi-year contract and those checks are not going to bounce.

Mike Smith blew it again when he had a horse with a perfect record in a Breeders' Cup Race. He was in tough vs Beholder though having already won two Breeders' Cup races before but damn .... C'MON MAN! Out $40 by losing it in such a heart breaking way ... sucked! :S

Sean DeMarco How'd Mike Smith blow it? He did everything he was supposed to. He got her to a comfortable lead and Songbird was going strong. She fought, but lost a head bob. Nothing Mike could do about that. He's the winningest jockey in BC history.

Horse Racing Fan 99 uh no. He didn't ride that horse every single time and it is so gifted that other jockeys could have won with it time and time again.

Sean DeMarco Actually, Mike Smith has ridden Songbird in all 12 of her races. From her debut last summer to the Distaff, no one else has ridden her.

I usually like Collmus but he botched this call. A race of this magnitude deserved a breathtaking call to match it's stature.

It was.... mobile.santaanita.com/?video/replays/2016-11/04 Click race 9 (that may only work on a phone) Why NBC thinks we rather hear Colmus talk through a race than a real race call is beyond me. Maybe infrequent race viewers prefer that? The track feeds will usually have the actual track announcer (unless Colmus is your announcer!) I know I'm quite torn up that he won't be gracing us with his presence at gulfstream this year. Don't get me wrong, Colmus certainly isn't awful and he has had some memorable calls, but 9/10 times, I prefer the track announcer.

Dont you LOVE watching Songbird fans make EXCUSES when she lost?..Beholder was past her prime coming into this race and STILL beat Songbird..Beholder in her prime would have jogged right past Songbird to win by 5 or more lengths..Rachel Alexandra would DESTROYYYYYY songbird badly..Mike smith gave songbird a perfect ride..she just LOST to a better horse

Agreed. Not to mention the devastation an in-form Paseana, Inside Information, Azeri or Zenyatta would inflict on Songbird.Even an in-form Blind Luck would run down Songbird, as would Stellar Wind at her best.
