SBid won Preakness in record time [or close] then stepped on a safety pin morning of Belmont and came in 3rd.
This is awesome:
'He began the race as the odds-on favorite. His trainer Bud Delp was so confident of victory that as the horse paraded in front of the fans, he called out to them "Go bet! Go bet!".
Spectacular Bid went on to win by 2 3/4 lengths over General Assembly, a very well bred son of Secretariat. '
Right up there with 'Yeah, I got a question.
You got any excuses tonite Roy?'
