This was the greatest race ever, in my opinion, and since it’s my blog, the only one that matters, lol. It wasn’t just the race, it was about my passion and my enthusiasm for thoroughbred horse racing, and most importantly it was about the participants, Easy Goer and Sunday Silence, two of the finest examples of horseflesh I’ve ever seen … and for what it’s worth … think Easy Goer was MUCH more superior. In fact from this time period (late ’80s) on, easily place him in the top 5 … top 3 more like it … and on certain days, would argue he’s numero uno. But I digress, I mention this race only because The Preakness Stakes is tomorrow and looking on my racing sites found a link to view it once again. Thing is, it wasn’t the original version … wasn’t the one I’ve always watched. This one had Trevor Denman calling the race instead of Dave Johnson?!?! Now, I like and respect Trevor Denman and his race calling ability, but compared to Dave Johnson’s call of this race … there isn’t even a comparison. Johnson’s call, even hearing it now years later still brings a shiver up my spine … fucking incredible especially from his “and down the stretch they come” to the finish. Chills y’all, chills!! Sorry no vid either, quality sucks shit. Posting pics though … brings back memories, great motherfucking memories!!
