1998 Breeders' Cup Mile + Post Race [13:40]
Regardless of the odds it is not wise to dismiss any horse trained by Michael Dickinson. The lesson was manifested dramatically this afternoon as Da Hoss, at 11-1 odds and in only his second start after a 22-month layoff, won the $1 million Breeders' Cup Mile for the second time in three years. With a half-furlong remaining the 6-year-old gelding appeared beaten as another long shot, Hawksley Hill, pushed his nose in front on the outside. But under the jockey John Velazquez, who had never had a Breeders' Cup mount before this year, Da Hoss rallied and prevailed by a head at the wire. The final time for the race on a turf course rated firm was 1:351/5 , three-fifths of a second faster than the clocking when Da Hoss won the Breeders' Cup Mile at Woodbine in Toronto in 1996 under Gary Stevens. This time, he returned $25.20 for a $2 win ticket. Miesque, a champion in both Europe and North America, won consecutive runnings of the Mile in 1987-88, as did Lure in 1992-93. But in many respects Da Hoss's twin triumphs are more extraordinary, because the only start he made between them was a three-quarter-length victory in allowance company at Colonial Downs in Virginia on Oct. 11. Da Hoss has been plagued with physical problems since he was a foal. ''A fetlock when he was a foal,'' Dickinson said, ''a pair of bone spurs as a yearling, another fetlock in June of last year, some lameness last fall. There have been some vet bills. His groom spends six hours a day with him, massaging ...
Sr. Champ Onboard 9/16/12 - NHMS (Upper Track) / Feature Race Part 2 [07:17]
Onboard footage of Part 2 of the Sr. Champ Feature Race from New Hampshire Motor Speedway (Upper Track) in New Hampshire. After the refueling break, I was running in 3rd place. Part 2 of the Feature Race was about the same as Part 1, except I was able to run at the front a little more. Once again, the slipstream killed me. James in the #24 kart and Dylan in the #24x kart were able to hook up and draft, while I was out to drive. I did what I could to try to keep up with them. After the 25 laps, I finished 3rd. I got a trophy and two tickets to the NASCAR race on 9/23/12. Anybody want them? I don't need them, since I won't bother going to the race.
