The Breeders' Cup - Ten Great Champions

Produced in 1996.. a look back at ten of the greatest Breeder's Cup Champions..

[@Caroni100]

"Television has been wonderful in telling that story, and is probably the most important factor in the success of the Breeder´s Cup. NBC´s coverage spans 4 1/2 hours of prime Saturday afternoon time in the fall, bringing horse racing to millions of mainstream and casual sports fans" Bill Shoemaker (1931-2003) Jockey

[@jayf4612]

!989, 2001, and 2015 Breeders Cups Classics are my favorites. There have been some great champions over the years.

[@elizabethferguson7002]

1990 Distaff still hurts. No telling how good Go For Wand was. Not to take away from Bayakoa, she was a Superstar. But I had to fast forward as soon I saw you were going to replay her second consecutive Distaff. :'''(

[@km10nner]

Thanks for sharing, Nice to go back in Time.

[@wizard9403]

Alysheba's Classic had to be one of the the most talented fields ever assembled!!!

[@onkyolive8399]

Tom Durkin voice is the all time great...

[@joechrow8341]

McCarron said throughout his Career the 1989 Classic was the 1 Race that he felt that "he" Won the Race and "Stole" the Race with the Tactics he used aboard Sunday Silence...Agreed....Easy Goer "flew" past him right as they crossed the Wire...Amazing Race

[@wizard9403]

Go For Wand was an absolute tragedy.

Goldikova : 3 consecutive Breeder's Cup : 2008-2009-2010 !!

[@debraenderle4737]

This was produced in the B.Z. era: Before Zenyatta. Zenyatta changed everything.

[@sbdgrwnmrw6085]

+Debra Enderle how did zen change everything?

[@cheydebold1137]

sbdgrwnmrw she became the first filly ever to win the breeder's cup classic which boosted her race wins to 14 she went on to win 19 straight races she lost her last race which was the 2010 breeder's cup classic to blame who won by a nose

[@sbdgrwnmrw6085]

yes, you are correct about what you documented regarding her career and i was as heartbroken as you likely were to see her have to maneuver her way through traffic the way she did on a very cold evening at church hill downs to finally reach, literally, her only real competitor (blame) and lose - as you, and i, and everyone else witnessed - by just a nose to blame who could not have asked for a better ride from start to finish... but i'm not sure how that "changed everything"... ghostzapper, and skipaway are 2 of the fastest, if not the fastest, horses to ever compete in the breeders cup... and then there are a handful after them who have made incredible appearances; Frankel being one of them, and the 3 horses who ran one of the fastest and most competitive turf races in 2003 the world has ever seen when all 3 of them hit the wire together - just type in "2003 breed cup clssc turf race" and you'll see it pop up.... zen was without a doubt a one-of-a-kind horse, very special indeed and will always be one of the "classics" all time greats... but i guess i was wondering what she "changed"...?

[@loreleibriggs9322]

I have to agree Easy Goer and Sunday Silence were both super horses, but heart belongs to Sunday Silence!

[@michellesharp29]

Da Hoss how could you omit DA HOSS!!! He is still alive aged 28 ad living in the Hall of Champions at the Kentucky Horse Park.

[@benjudah610]

Easy Goer and Sunday Silence were two super racehorses.

[@tizfrreecharm]

Good show and only one glaring mistake - in 1995, earlier on that soggy track, Inside Information blew away the Distaff field by something like 13 lengths, almost twice as many as Princess Rooney's 7. And, yes, it's time to update 'The Ten Best' list -it's 20 years later and time to expand the list to 20 (maybe) so that such BC greats as Tiznow, Zenyatta, Da Hoss, Ouija Board, Godikova, High Chapparal, Midnight Lute, Royal Delta, and Beholder can bask in the first ten's glory.

[@mikeblast7507]

Cigar was a beast. He was such a competitor, it seemed Baily spent the first half of every race choking him to death. (No criticism of Baily, he did ride him to 16 straight). Can't say he was underrated per se, but I'm not sure he gets the consideration he deserves when discussing all time greats.

[@michaelkincheloe6186]

+Mike Blast Cigar's losses to 3-year-old Skip Away and veteran Alphabet Soup in 1996 are one reason why he doesn't get the consideration. His desperate half-length win in Dubai over Soul of the Matter (a good but hardly great horse) took a lot out of him (Dubai does that), and he was beaten by Dare and Go in the Pacific Classic later that year (I was there; I've never heard a crowd go silent all of a sudden like that one did). His win in the 1995 Breeder's Cup was over so-so competition; there were no Zenyattas or Tiznows there. The fact that he turned out to be sterile was reduced to a joke.

[@elizabethchastain8891]

Mike Blast #Cigar was still named "The Racehorse of the 1990's Decade One of the Greatest ever!

[@johneddy908]

The film would fittingly conclude with Cigar's record-setting performance.

[@alexis1936]

This must've been broadcasted before Inside Information, because she beat the 7 length record.

[@tizfrreecharm]

+Alexis Braunreiter By almost double the distance! No, the producers included 1995 and just made a mistake. Including Manila and excluding Unbridled seems also a miss.

[@joechrow8341]

Best Horse out of them all in my opinion was a Loss...1989 Classic...Easy Goer as The Heavy 1-2 favorite losing by a Neck...Pat Day never should have let the Winner get that far ahead of him in the stretch...Easy Goer came into the race sluggish and ran Sluggish in the race but Still Should have Won....Easy Goer was a Monster...Any Distance...Sunday Silence just had his Number for whatever reason...Although the head to head matchup was 3 to 1 it was a Nose/Neck from being 3 to 1 in Easy Goers favor...Pat day was very spoiled aboard Easy Goer

[@kensworthcleare8889]

Enjoyed watching the horse races.

[@user-fy7fi8iv9k]

did anyone else see lady secrets lead change in her first race

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

I see horses change leads in race videos all the time. Left lead on turns; right lead on the straightaways.

[@mrbigshot1986]

Sunday Silence was ridden brillantly - he did not win by a desperate neck he was flicked with the whip at the furlong pole and won with a bit in hand there is no doubt easy goer was given an over confident ride and day has always been guilty of riding that horse in a stop start sort of way..... the way mccarron rode sunday was brillant everything was done going forward where he never had to ease back one of the best rides in breeders cup history - so simple but clearly world class riding

[@mrbigshot1986]

***** thanks - i see some jockeys complicate rides - mccarron was one of the best - without a doubt

[@sbdgrwnmrw6085]

it wasn't a desperate "neck"... more like a 1/3 or 1/2 body length - but it was desperate.... the first time goer pulled even to ss should have been the one and only time, but to pass ss and not to lose to him... ss was a gamer a "racer".... which horse was faster? easy goer was undoubtedly the faster horse... it did take a brilliant ride on a brilliant horse to beat the faster horse but as the saying goes: "it-is-what-it-is" and silence "silenced" goer 3 out of 4 times... imo the only 2 horses that had speed comparable to that of easy goer regarding the years of the bcc were ghostzapper and skip away...

Go For Wand... those 1:10 3/5 fractions she set, were obviously the death of her. Sad to see that. I knew that Bayakoa won 2 BC's, but until just now; did not realize the circumstances of her 2nd BC Distaff victory.

[@patronfranlinesqueday8084]

No doubt at all that many of Pat Day's awful rides were Ron Franklin - esque!

[@DELMARCLUB1]

+Travis West Back for more of your endless nonsense. Hmmm what? Pat Day what? Pat Day ONLY rode bad when EG ran vs SS? What a bunch of nonsense. First of all, Pat Day called some of his own riding on EG as "absolute rider errors, I did not ride my best race, made errors, made mistakes, underestimated ss, thanked the connections for merely keeping him on the horse, his concerns were to ride him in a start stop way yet he did ride him that way anyway, etc." Second of all, despite Days riding record & success's (& failures), many racing experts, writers, trainers, fans, etc were highly critical of how Day rode MANY OTHER HORSES BEFORE & long BEFORE (and after) the 1989 races between EG & SS were run. Day was criticized a great deal by many trainers, fans, experts, writers, bettors, etc throughout his entire career on many different horses. The fact that Day was heavily criticized by many trainers, fans, experts, writers, bettors, etc throughout his entire career on numerous OTHER horses - many BEFORE & well BEFORE EG races - demonstrated that the immense criticism that Day received prior (and likely after as well) on numerous OTHER horses obviously had nothing at all to do with only EG. Pat Day rode bad and was heavily criticized when he rode Java Gold, Forty Niner, Seeking the Gold, Sky Classic, Easy Goer, Rampage, Menifee, Timber Country, Turkoman, Thunder Gulch, Alysheba, Heavenly Prize, Surfside, Banshee Breeze, and many more. And he did get taken off and replaced on many of these horses. Day also rode bad and made many mistakes in the Whitney & Woodward on EG - but of course when he ran against SS the mistakes would cost him more & be more damaging. Its a bit curious to me that the connections never took him off & tried another top jockey on EG. They were close to taking him off after the Preakness, but as the trainer said, " Easy Goer was a big, strong horse, and the jockey Pat Day helped him by not crucifying him in his races and brought me back something. He had soundness problems, but we stayed on top of it. EVERY time Pat Day rode him, he brought me back some horse." This was possibly one of the main reasons why. Some quotes and proof for you? Sure. Plenty. Many examples, and these are not my words. 1- Before the TC, May 3, 1989 Philadelphia Daily News article, "First victory would make Pats Day" : "Pat Day takes (took) more abuse than any jockey in the country." Why would Day receive more criticism than any other top rider BEFORE he rode EG in any race vs SS? Continued: "He rides slowly in a world where everybody, especially jockeys, is in a hurry. After a brutal, way-too-patient ride on Seeking the Gold in the 88 Travers, Day almost ran into the stands after some irate fans who were wondering what it was he was waiting for as his former mount Forty Niner got away from him at the top of the stretch. His ride on Java Gold in the 87 Jockey Club Gold Cup made it appear that the clock in his head was actually a sun dial. Day rides Easy Goer like he always rides - confidently, serenely, cautiously." 2- "With Pat Day, its always close. No rider in America cuts it any closer. Pat Day could outwait Job. Even when on the lead in races with Easy Goer & Sky Classic, Day waited until he could feel the breath of the other runners to make his move." 3- "Day, admittedly, would get caught by surprise after backing off and waiting (and not continuing forward momentum) when on the lead." 4 - "Day would often exercise the patience for which he is famous long past the point at which it was appropriate. Some horses needed a rider, not a passenger." 5- Joe Drapes Race for the Triple Crown book - "Lukas had replaced Day with Bailey, Stevens and perhaps most insulting of all, Donna Barton. What frustrated Lukas etc was Days very deliberate, passive, patient, sit-still riding style." 6- "Days deliberate riding style of waiting and waiting, then occasionally making a move, and waiting again, frustrated trainer D. Wayne Lukas, owners, bettors, many fans etc. He also drew criticism by riding tentatively, and stopping and starting with many of his mounts. Day was given various unflattering nicknames." 7- "His style was a detriment on Forty Niner and many others. A few of Days rides on Easy Goer were a lot like the ones he gave Forty Niner, Sky Classic, Java Gold and Seeking the Gold. Perhaps puzzled with what to do, Day stopped and started (or waited for others when he had a lead) with Forty Niner, Sky Classic, Java & Gold, and their surges in the stretch left them a neck or nose short at the wire. Days riding style has been a detriment to many horses." 8- "Lukas was more critical of jockey Pat Days rides, " Pat (Day) spent most of the race steering him instead of riding him" Lukas said. He was not nearly as aggressive as I instructed him to be." 9- "Day admitted he misjudged the very slow pace on Java Gold." 10- "Day admitted it was absolutely rider error, I take full responsibility, I got him beat, I didnt ride my best race", etc for a few races on Easy Goer & he was on the better horse. After the Belmont, Day thanked the owner & trainer solely & simply for permitting him to stay on the horse & keep riding him. "I know they had to come under some heavy guns." 11- "Pat Day, evidently believed too many of the press clippings heaped on Java Gold. Day was so overconfident that he transformed the 87 JC Gold Cup from a soft spot into an impossible task for Java Gold. He permitted Creme Fraiche to steal an uncontested early lead and go on to score." 12- "In the 88 Travers, Pat Day made the dubious decision to pull Seeking the Gold back off a slow pace before making a late charge." McCarron on Forty Niner said, "I thought Seeking The Gold would be right there with me, but I looked around and saw Dynaformer. That stunned me. I knew we must`ve been walking because Dynaformer likes to run from the clouds." 13- "Easy Goer & Seeking the Gold drew the rail (No. 1 post) and the inside No. 2 post in the 1988 Travers, 1989 BCC & 1989 Preakness races which, under most circumstances, dictate that they be sent being inside. But Pat Day rode them and Day would wait." 14- "In the 88 Travers when Forty Niner inched ahead of him running a slow pace, jockey Pat Day still refused to use Seeking The Golds abundant speed. He sat motionless, surrendered the lead and permitted his horse to drop a couple of lengths back. But having conceded Forty Niner the advantage, the big late run predictably fell short -- by a nose. It was the most preposterous misuse of a horses speed since Day blew the $1 million 87 Jockey Club Gold Cup by taking the only speed horse in the field, Java Gold, impossibly far behind a slow pace." 15- "Day had a reputation for being overly cautious. Day was most known for his patience and he was often criticized for many of his rides.Pat Wait All Day waited forever and a day when riding Menifee in 99 Derby." 16- "Days tentativeness and patience as a reinsman was at times unnerving and exasperating for owners, trainers, fans, bettors etc. As Pat Forde, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, penned in 1995, "He is so patient he could watch a faucet drip for days." 17- "Day was cautious and tentative in his day to day riding, but it was a shock to see him ride so pitifully in many races of great importance." 18. West coaster Bill Christine actually stated that Day was "PATIENT" (and his PATIENCE got OVERWHELMED) in this Preakness race in his June 5, 1989 LA Times article even starting with the Title: "It was a DIFFERENCE of STYLES in the (89) Preakness: Valenzuelas AGGRESSIVE Western Riding OVERWHELMED Days Eastern (Day rode mostly in MIDWEST) PATIENCE." He mentions PVal outriding Day. He mentions the tactics of PVals tight riding, rough riding, boxing into the rail, a classic example of the hell-for-leather style etc against the PATIENT, more RELAXED Eastern (Midwest was where Day mainly rode) manner. He said, Valenzuela MADE two moves to help him win; Day MADE three mistakes that might have cost him the victory. Day also allowed Valenzuela to outmaneuver him for the stretch drive etc." 19. Additionally, Ed Schuyler Jr also stated (June 11, 1989 Daily News) that Day rode EG OVERLY DEFENSIVELY (Protectively) in this Preakness. Stating, "Days LACK of Aggression, not continuing his forward momentum caught him by surprise, then led to him being trapped in tight on the rail, not taking an AGGRESSIVE posture entering the stretch, etc." 20. Additionally, Jerry Greene (Orlando Sentinel - June 10, 1989) stated, "Valenzuela is as aggressive as they come on a horses back. In track vernacular, hes known as the best gate boy in the business, meaning nobody gets his horse out of the gate and into winning position better. P Val is as different from Day as, well, night from day. Day is a patient, finesse rider, and many felt his unwillingness to drive Easy Goer when they had the lead at the top of the stretch may have cost them a victory in the Preakness." 21. Additionally, EGs trainer McGaughey said after the 89 Preakness & before and after the 89 Belmont, "In the Preakness, We had him beat and Day let SS back in the race only to get trapped down on the rail. I want (ed) Pat Day to be MORE AGGRESSIVE (LESS relaxed) in his riding, even in the longer distanced mile and a half Belmont. Day was MORE AGGRESSIVE in the Belmont than he was in the Preakness. " Once again, These are not my words and these are certainly not limited to one horse. Sources - LA Times, May 5, 1992, October 11, 1987 Washington Post, August 19, 1988 Philadelphia D. News, August 21, 1988 Sun Sentinel, August 22, 1988 Times , August 23, 1988 Wash. Post, BloodHorse April 23, 2014, etc etc.

[@DELMARCLUB1]

+Travis West You are very welcome for the info disproving another one of your endless nonsense comments. As you said before in one of the many comments that you DELETED: "the jockey has A LOT to do with it" as well. Yes, every horse was controlled and handled by flawed humans. Hall of Fame trainer D Wayne Lukas and Hall of Fame jockey Eddie Arcaro agree with you that the jockey has a lot to do with it also. D Wayne Lukas said: "More BIG RACES are lost through jockey errors than all the thousands of other races." The great Hall of Fame jockey Eddie Arcaro said: "In close races decided by small margins like a nose, head, neck etc, the percentage that the jockey plays goes up significantly."

[@JOHN----DOE]

Why, why show Go for Wand? The worst horror in a top Breeder's Cup race, and they act as though it were a sideshow.

[@JOHN----DOE]

+MsVanorak Google it if you have the stomach--a horrible break. Her leg was dangling by a thread. She got up and tried to hobble to the finish on three legs. They had to get her down as fast as possible and kill her. The worst.

[@JOHN----DOE]

+MsVanorak I don't know what the answer is--horse racing is a magnificent sport but there are too many deaths. In the U.S. there is one big partial answer--they need to get off the drugs (Lasix etc.) and breed less fragile horses (too many bred for profit that run fast as 2-year-olds vs. bred for stronger bones and later starts). Lots of these top horses that have died (Ruffian, Barbaro, Eight Belles, Go For Wand) were either very large and front-end heavy for speed, too much so in proportion to their legs (legacy of far too much Native Dancer) or simply spindly/bred from other horses that broke down (both Ruffian's parents, e.g.).

[@JOHN----DOE]

+MsVanorak In the U.S. there are "legal" drugs. Almost all of the racers are given Lasix, whether they need it or not (it's for horses that have respiratory bleeding)--it gives some slight advantage so they use it for all horses--but it ups recovery time and thus the horse have to have longer recovery times between races. There is also too much breeding of horses that will run and win when young (quick payoffs); then a lot of these horses get injured and are retired early . . . then bred to repeat and intensify the cycle. Bad practices with not enough regulation.

Alyshiba was over-rated. Sunday Silence was the real deal then and after.

[@needleneedle6294]

Alysheba overrated?? Lets see, won the Kentucky Derby in the most fouled, roughest stretch run in history, nearly going down and still gathered up, got blocked twice more and won the race. Then won the Preakness. Won the Breeders Cup and almost any big race you can name. Set the track record at the Meadowlands at 1:59 2/5 and is the ONLY horse in modern history to run 10 furlongs under 2:00 in one calender year. You better check his record Aguilera. There is a long period of Alysheba's life missing because he was bought and taken to Saudi Arabia which ended his career here. Was Sunday Silence great, yes he was. Was he greater then "Sheba"... that is and will always be debated. My money is on Alysheba.

0311RFLMN If such things bother you many other horses #Wildhorses and #Domestic horses go to slaughter too not just TB Racehorses Quarter Horses too as well as other equines Do something about it Don't blame the HORSES Never helps to complain about it Try to help them

Blame the damn breeders. They use them as money makers, and when they're no use for breeding, then it's dog food time. My wife gelded her mini stallion, but he's still shown and is a loved member of the family. He'll never be slaughtered.

Really bad organized. This is about races and one or two horses. Please take the time to do a better job. If talking about champions, be specific and provide some background to honor the label. I pass.

This is a recording from a televised event. Please vent your frustrations on the person who MADE this televised event, and NOT the person who shared it with you, at their own expense.
