1998 Woodward Stakes [02:37]
Skip Away raced into thoroughbred history yesterday when he won the 45th Woodward Stakes at Belmont Park against an all-star field. With the victory, his ninth straight, he drew ever closer to the stature and the money record of the great Cigar.

Charmayne James & Scamper - 92 NFR Rds 8, 9 & 10 [01:17]

They won round 8 (Typical, ESPN coverage where they only show runs delayed with big watermarks to show scores of that day). Scamper carried Charmayne to her ninth world championship that year. Rest in peace, Scamper.
