Did anyone see the Thoroughbred Classics show on the Preakness...
by regret
this week on ESPN Classic? I taped it and watched it this evening. There was some footage of Man O' War in his stall (Jack Whitticker was talking about Mr. Riddle but I think it was Louis Feustel standing with him???!?! - can anyone verify this or tell me who the two men are?)....plus footage of the Sir Barton match race.
Its funny... I notice that Jack Whitticker has been having trouble getting his facts straight.. he called Man O' War - Man of War then proceeded to say how Man beat Upset in the Preakness and that Upset defeated Man O' War later that summer!?!??!?! I want to write to ESPN to correct this to Upset having finished in front of Man the year before (notice how I don't say he beat him since we know Man would have won but for the worst racing luck!) Also, for you Secretariat fans.... Jack announced to the world during the Derby telecast that Monarchos ran the fastest Derby since 1972!??!?!??! I think he needs a refresher course!
Oh by the way.. I will now be known as Regret since my real name has already been taken on network 54.
