1986 Kentucky Derby - Ferdinand [21:48]
A horse from California was supposed to win the 112th Kentucky Derby, but hardly anybody expected it to be Ferdinand, a 17‚1 shot ridden by a 54-year-old jockey and saddled by a 73-year-old trainer. But at the finish of a slow and roughly run Derby, it was Ferdinand, ridden by Bill Shoemaker and trained by Charlie Whittingham, drawing away to a 21/4- length victory over Bold Arrangement and Broad Brush, with the favored Californians, Snow Chief and Badger Land, off the board. Shoemaker steered Ferdinand, a son of the English triple crown winner Nijinsky II, through heavy traffic from last place to first while covering the mile and a quarter in a dull 2:024/5. Bold Arrangement, an English colt, won a three-way duel for second place, finishing three-quarters of a length in front of Broad Brush. Snow Chief, the 2‚1 favorite, tired badly to finish 11th after taking a brief lead round the far turn. Ferdinand paid $37.40 for $2 to win, the highest Derby payoff since Gato del Sol, also a Californian, also rallied to win from last place and returned $41.40 in 1982. The race was a sentimental triumph for Shoemaker, who became by far the oldest rider ever to win the race while scoring his fourth Derby triumph, and for Whittingham, a Hall of Fame trainer who had never won a Derby. Artistically, though, it was a less successful Derby run before a crowd of 123891. The winner's time over a fast track was the slowest in 12 years, and more horses had rough trips than honest ones today ...

Bregawn- The 1983 Cheltenham Gold Cup [01:18]
A historic Cheltenham Gold Cup took place in 1983 when Bregawn won the coveted race. March 17, 1983 marks one of the most extraordinary training achievement in the history of the Cheltenham Gold Cup. The first five horses home, led by Bregawn, followed by Captain John, Wayward Lad, Silver Buck and Ashley House all travelled to Cheltenham from the same stable at Dunkeswick in Yorkshire where they were trained by Michael Dickinson, in only his third season as a trainer. The jockey who steered Bregawn to victory on the day was Graham Bradley and the horse was owned by James Kennelly.

As promised, here is Roger's video time-line. It starts back in Feb of this year (2011) when we had the first ride. This was after we'd had him for a month or so. We got him as a scraggly 7 year old, head to toe in rain scald, and three days out from ending up at the market, and lord only knows if he was to end up as dog meat :( So my good friend Georgie rescued him, we bought him together and started all the hard work. She did hours upon hours of groundwork, and I did the ridden work. He was completely green, had no steering whatsoever , but we could both see he had unbelievable potential, so we gave him a go. Little by little he improved, obviously there was a lot more that we did with him then what's in the video, but we started to get him round, canter leads, and get him jumping. WHAT A JUMP he had on him, my god! I have never been on a horse with such a ping, and not only was he fun to ride, but he was safe as well, having never refused the whole time we had him. We took him out to adult rider's club, a dressage show, and more jumping days than you can poke a stick at and started to have a lot of fun with him ...

This was during the ND State championship race. It was the Sr Med class I was number 7. Got spun and had a lot of bent steering but was still able to pass the leader Brian Good. Then attempted passing a lapped car on the outside and it didn't work that great....I won the day 1 race witch was a lot prettier.
