33 years later and this call from Tom durkin still gives me chills

[@patmcstuff671]

So many good horses in this race, Unbridled was brilliant and the trainer deserved it

[@tigerboy1966]

Watching this again it makes you realise how brave Unbridled was. There was NO GAP to go for between Thirty Six Red and Ibn Bey but he just bullied his way between them. You also have to give massive props to Pat Day: the conventional move in that situation would have been to switch right, in which case he would have finished second by a head and we'd still be crying about how unlucky Unbridled was on the day.

[@seanbush5056]

Indeed, this race doesn't get much play among Classics, but Unbridled was downright heroic on that day. What a run.

Unbridled´s trainer Carl A. Nafzger (Born August 29th, 1941) 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. Before he was involved to horseracing, he was a championship Rodeo bullrider. Congratulations Mister Nafzger! Greetings from Venezuela.

Unbridled shows his class. No better rider for a closer than Pat "wait all" Day!

[@cowhanson]

Redemption for Pat day after last year s easy goer ride. Just goes to show SS was the better horse that season. A masterful ride on a closer with one good run at the end. Few jockeys could thread the needle in deep stretch like he did.

Iben bay what a run First and only time on dirt

[@AlexXanderMarketing]

Unbridled overcame an absolute trash ride by Day. What a champion.

[@JerGer918]

To think Unbridled broke from the 14 hole out of 14 with the starting gate on the first turn no less and still won!

[@tigerboy1966]

Makes you think that Ibn Bey missed his vocation. Spent his whole career running over 12 furlongs plus in Europe and then this!

[@L11_EFC]

He (Ibn Bey} wasn't quick enough for anything less than 12f in Europe,

[@12StepswithJesus]

Had Ian bey at 50-1 to win ugh

[@theeagle3948]

This reminds me of the 8.5 furlong start on the turf
