The Race is On [02:07]
So, this is something I made real quick. Not my best work, but I was watching lots of old videos about the Triple Crown and came to love old horse racing. (I don't really think it's any different now, I just love the black and white and the people standing on the rail and all the old stars that went to go see the races like Bing Crosby, Lucille Ball and such.) I do not own these clips. All rights to respected owners.

2010 Whirlaway Stakes - Peppi Knows [02:12]
Philip J. Messinas Peppi Knows captured the 31st running of the $100000 Whirlaway Stakes Saturday afternoon at Aqueduct Racetrack, in a race in which 2-5 favorite Eightyfiveinafifty bolted during the first turn. A 3-year-old son of Stephen Got Even, Peppi Knows had run second behind the highly regarded Buddys Saint in the Grade 2 Remsen last out on November 28, and was returning to Aqueduct for the second time. Racing in third after a quarter mile in 23.79 seconds, Peppi Knows tracked comfortably down the backside, assumed the lead on the far turn, and opened up a clear advantage nearing the quarter pole. He hit the wire a length in front of Afleet Again and completed the 1 1/16th miles in 1:47.10 over the fast inner track.
