True racing fans! The passion is there. We need more of that in this beautiful sport.

[@fckem1000]

I'd prefer to see their reactions for the Belmont of that year.

[@melaniem6158]

Raw emotions, I love it!

[@chriskaltofen2385]

That's what it's all about..True fans!! Passion.. Excitement... Love of the game. If you don't have that, you don't love horseracing. We've all been there more than a time or two.

Take me back to those good ol days , shoe in from da corner, down at Maxies bar (sugar minot)

[@silviac4408]

Awesome!!!

[@peterramirez5147]

I am patiently waiting for the $0.10-cent exactas to begin being offered at tracks so I can play the ponies all day & all night long for about $5

[@jeffj6815]

New Zealand offers them in the a.m. Payouts are ridiculously large some races

[@harrygio1]

You would be getting 32 cent payoffs a lot of times.

[@jamesgray7064]

$0.10 supers only.

[@jmr003]

That is an awesome video.

[@phillipwalker4747]

Frank Lyons got fired shortly after this

[@khubb83]

I love that the pros watch the race like I do

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Fun to see the TVG's announcers react like a true horse racing fan would in the privacy of his own home.

[@Tairaterces]

Wish they would have done the same thing (off-air) during Big Brown's Belmont. :)

[@lisa1ch]

I miss Frank Lyons.

[@RedBev59]

I LOVE this. Caught being Normal. LOL GO BIG BROWN!!

[@ffemt66]

That still gets my juices flowing. That moment right there, was, as a 36 year old, my "this f#*king horse is going to win the triple crown" moment. I felt it more than Smarty Jones, and I'll have another was battling starting from the San Felipe on in, losing to Creative Cause if I am not mistaken in both SA Graded stakes prep races, so it was a coin flip there as well. California Chrome too was not a "dominant" type horse. Big Brown was IT, man that just hurts a little to watch. That moment right there was the high point of that season, the "Heeeerre we go" moment. This year I think is going to be tight. We'll see hopefully some of the heavyweights drop out of the Preakness and we have the same setup for Belmont, with Khozan coming in and drilling them all. My derby prediction, for what it's worth(a hill of beans) is 8, 2, 18, 6 Dortmund, Carpe Diem, American Pharoah, Mubtaahij. Materiality will be the wild card IMO, I see him finishing 5th but I certainly wouldn't scoff if I heard you had him to win. CAN'T WAIT!!!

[@signoresantinoburnett1169]

He beat Creative Cause in the Santa Anita Derby. Creative Causes only prep win was the San Felipe and he beat Bodemeister, not I'll Have Another.

[@evanwilliams6406]

I don't think these guys were jumping up and down the at the Belmont a few weeks later...

[@ohnoshithuh]

"I had him to show for $2!"

[@bradcrawford1998]

Oh big spender 🤯

[@harrygio1]

What would these guys say if they saw Silky Sullivan, Kelso, Skip Away, Seabiscuit, Ridan, Bold Ruler in their prime???

[@davidoreilly1899]

Would like to see these guys comment on Winx if they bet on her in the Cox Plate of years gone by.

[@waremblem3405]

Hope the guy on the right, a champion lout, lost his shirt three weeks later in the Belmont Stakes when BB didn't even finish the race. A wonderful day indeed, with the whole thing quite predictable. $15,000,000 in win bets on BB vaporized, and the downfall of trainer Richard Dutrow Jr., who ended up bankrupt, had begun.

[@Spankenstein99]

Something fishy happened in Belmont. This horse was untouchable. I don’t believe the split hoove bs

[@Hoodoo04]

What a reaction for a 1/5 shot. My God. He had $10 on for a $12 collect. What a genius

[@horseracingstuff]

Barossa Boy Not everything in horse racing is about betting.

[@illbeyourstumbleine]

You got it all wrong. It's about seeing a beautiful champion, a Michael Jordan of horses be able to play at his greatest. That's what this moment was about, the excitement. Not the betting. You think these guys cared at all about cashing in tickets? Is that what you really took away from their reactions? If so I am truly sorry.

[@leobowman8149]

Also he probably had 1000 on him not 10

[@geedavia1785]

The dude on the right is by no means a lightweight bettor... Dude in the middle is an ex owner/trainer, he was has a few duckets too. Dude on the left is tvg's lead announcer. These guys get healthy on races like this..

[@ctcs9162]

Frank should be ashamed of rooting like that for, his Franks words, "A FUCKING ONE TO FIVE SHOT"

[@bg147]

It was one of those moves that you almost never see. He was pretty much under a hammerlock and exploded when the other riders were scrubbing. Every trainer in the race had the opportunity to provide the same nutrients to his/her horse, so, you have to give him credit. I still think he is an under-rated horse and gets a bad rap, but did Kent D. really need to look back more than once?

[@davidrose2704]

No, just a shitty 3yr old crop that year

[@jerrynovak3801]

1-5 I would not get that excited unless I was cracking it......

[@saveitmike7228]

You don't love horse racing then .. This was about the love of the game and watching greatness .. Not gambling

[@elastronaute1198]

That horse was 1/5? What were they so happy about??

[@LFCtvUSA]

From the perspective of TV networks who show races, such as TVG and NBC for the Triple Crown, it's ideal for the Belmont to have a horse that's won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. Means more people watching on TV, more people betting the race, more money bet on the race, and more being made from advertising slots. Big Brown winning the Preakness ensured that the Belmont would have high ratings.

[@signoresantinoburnett1169]

He was just appreciating the horse. Nobody would get excited over 10 cents on the dollar.

[@saveitmike7228]

He loved that horse.. When u love a horse you root like crazy for him and it's not always about gambling for true horse racing fans ..some of us become fans of horses like you probably do for a team .. Do you care if your football team wins the Superbowl even if they're huge favorites ? Same thing going on here . he's just being a fan and I get it and love it

[@MrSmid888]

*NOT ON AIR* 🙄

[@kevvome]

Big Brown...Big Win....Big Cheers....Big Grin...Big Money...Big Honey. I wish the commentators in England were as animated as this guy! Or maybe they are....when the cameras ain't on them.

[@fig816]

I can understand when TVG’s Ken Rudolph went crazy when he hit his winning ticket on Giacomo (50-1) in the 2005 Kentucky Derby. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXQepSDjs-Mosk But how can anybody get excited about a 1-5 chalk?

[@JeffRebornNow]

That's what I was thinking, fig. Big Brown was like 1/5 or maybe even 1/9 in the Preakness. Unless you were the owner or trainer what were you getting so excited over? I wish they'd had a camera on that buffoon during the Belmont. lol

[@saveitmike7228]

The love of the sport.. This wasn't about gambling at all

[@tizfrreecharm]

TVG is proud of this?

[@eajinabi]

+tizfrreecharm Absolutely! This is what horse racing is about! Ever been to a grandstand at a race track?? This is how bettors really talk during a race! Horse racing isnt about crumpets, tea and fashion parades, There is no feeling in the world when you are alive in a Pick 4 in the last leg and your single is romping home to victory. At that moment all inhibitions let loose. Exhibit A is this video.

[@arnoldstrickland5742]

Real life is way better than subdued life reactions

[@bingobongo9203]

triple crown? triple clowns lol

[@downhomesunset]

Big Brown lost a shoe in the Belmont. Hard to win ........just like this year when California Chrome ripped his heel coming out of the gate at Belmont.

[@HorsesIC]

+Downhomesunset There were a hell of a lot more issues with BB's Belmont than just a lost shoe.

[@spinmyhead1667]

@@HorsesIC Yep.

[@dfygoh3215]

the horse should of won the Belmont for the triple crown , but his shoe came off, I also believe better horse than American Pharoah or Justify

Because you my friend are an eastern horse player. The REAL horses come from California!

[@evanwilliams6406]

They were like three guys sitting on a couch. Fun stuff, that's one of the reasons why I miss sports. You get to have fun for just a little bit and the feeling lasts throughout the day. We got to get sports back going.

[@frederickstjames1177]

Gee, thanks for sharing. All our Quantum•Chronograph did with Big Brown was forecast the next POTUS, 6 months before 2008 Elections.

[@frankmancini3458]

Horse was a freak. Cause it was on the juice.....

[@shawnn7502]

Yeah, not a freak of nature enough to win the Belmont. Sorry. I remember watching this though. Most dominant Preakness win I'd ever seen.

They obviously won a lot of money. You're not that excited if you just were a spectator.

Ran like a champion on steroids, didn’t get the steroid injection for the Belmont and ran dead last, by the way his trainer got banned for drugging horses later.

[@saveitmike7228]

Nothing to do with his hoof getting half ripped off in the Belmont ? Jeeze some people know nothing

[@glazeman2]

They should fire him.

[@taxisteve929]

I think to get a job as an announcer there you have to be a degenerate gambler who screams and yells under TV sets, and everyone else walks away to another set to get away from you.

[@terrytyler3139]

Irish a Jew and a German

[@robertsmale3714]

The horse was 1/5! You think you had a 99-1 winner here or something. Yes the horse looked impressive here, but 3 weeks later was eased in the Belmont. And he was calling him Man O’ War- I just have to laugh. Makes you wonder if this horse was “juiced,” and the bottomed fell out at Belmont. Trainer of the horse had a poor reputation & was known for shady practices.

[@saveitmike7228]

Or big browns hoof almost fell off in the Belmont ... Because thats what really happened

[@robertsmale3714]

A right hind shoe came lose during the running, but as the vet Greg Bennett remarked, “I don’t know how much of a factor that was.” He went on to remark sometimes after a race a horse feels it and are sore, but I’m not “aware of that with Big Brown.” But he didn’t lose almost lose a hoof.

[@signoresantinoburnett1169]

No needle no Triple Crown.
