I have been ... ( 5 months ago by rob3377)

I have been critical of Kent on here but I do want to say he did a great job on Big Brown this year in all three races. What happened today with BB was incredible but Kent made the right decision pulling him up to risk any kind of injury. It will be interesting to see what they kind but Dutrow will never hear the end of this one that his horses run well because of Winstrol and not talent. I think barring an injury he has no choice but to run BB again in Breeders and perhaps as 4 year old.

One of the greatest calls. Ever.

Awesome call by Tom Durkin. No matter how many times I watch it, my heart is pounding at the end.

Every time I watch ... ( 5 months ago by cooleo100d)

Every time I watch this I get the chills because I think how good he was and that we should have seen a triple crown winner in '98. On a side note, does anyone know where you can find the actual photo from the photo finish (true side view)?

I have different ... ( 5 months ago by ballem)

I have different opinion on this..say Kent held Real Quiet back a bit, let Victory Gallop get closer and gets out kicked to the wire by a better closer he would have been grilled for not taking a big lead while he had horse, Ive always been of the opinion that bottoming out the field sometimes is the way to go, we'll never know, but I still don't think it was totally the wrong thing to do.

That was unbelelievably close!! Closest finish i've ever seen!!

Ya know i keep seeing this whole watch Kent hold Real Quiet back and I just don't see where he does this... I looked real closely and just don't see it =/ that horse was running hard. Oh well whatever *shrugs*

Thats the greatest call of a race finish I have ever heard. The Smart Jones Belmont was brilliant too. This guy just puts the listener right in the moment.

tom durkin is the best caller of this generation

I have watched this ... ( 5 months ago by buznapper)

I have watched this video several times and i have to say that Kent's ride on Real Quiet gave him every chance to win. If he had have held Real Quiet to the field who knows if he would have had a big enough sprint? Victory gallop was 10 lengths behind - many many races have been 'stolen' by the ride taking iniative and going for home and creating a space when he has horse.
You have to also consider that if you watch closely, Victory gallop had to shift twice in the stretch. I say TOO GOOD!!.

Kent lost the race. ... ( 5 months ago by saveus228)

Kent lost the race. Horses don't make 2 moves in the 12 Furlong Belmont and win. It's a testament to RQ's ability as a stayer on dirt that he only lost by a nose.

Kent made the right ... ( 5 months ago by DIGBYS)

Kent made the right call, he had dying speed in front of him. He moved at the perfect time. He would hav been out kicked by Victory Gallop, he tried to get the jump on him. He got caught, it happens. Great Ride.

It's simple, Kent ... ( 5 months ago by lpca12)

It's simple, Kent did everything in his hands to give Real Quiet the best chance to win, the only problem was that Victory Gallop was better than Real Quiet, and that benefited of the distance.

Real Quiet should ... ( 5 months ago by jediknightjohnny123)

Real Quiet should have won. you cant blame kent for real quiet or big brown. why did real quiet lose? well, real quiet wore blinkers, and couldnt see victory gallop creeping up on him. real quiet thoguht the race was over. had he of seen victory gallop from the outside, he would have been able to held him off. the blinkers is what gave victory gallop the advantage. amazing ride by kent.

It wasn't the ... ( 4 months ago by Wowweefilms)

It wasn't the horses fault, it wasn't Kent fault it wasn't anyones fault. Victory gallop just had a big burst of speed.

I agree. The more I ... ( 4 months ago by AwsiDooger)

I agree. The more I watch this race I can't fault Desormeaux. He surged to an extreme advantage position and it took a great rally by a very versatile horse to barely nip him.
Meanwhile, I'm always curious about the guys in the infield who turn and celebrate immediately after the horses hit the wire. Do they think Real Quiet held on? He's closest to them so it probably appeared he won.

its simple kent started is move 2 soon u never make ur move at the top of belmonts stretch and victory gallop ran him down

I last watched this ... ( 3 months ago by FoxTrottrGrl)

I last watched this race ten years ago, live on TV. This was my first set of Triple Crown races and not only got me hooked on racing, I'm going into it professionally now. Real Quiet is a Triple Crown winner in my books; I'm surprised people don't talk about it more, because it's the closest Triple Crown loss in history.

im with u i dont see how people dont talk about it more

You're correct, ... ( 3 months ago by dahoss65)

You're correct, Kent did start his move too soon. Infact, he started his move somewhat with 3/4s of a mile to go and most people with horse sense or smarts know that a horse only has a good 3/8ths to 1/2 mile all out burst.

What a call by Tom Durkin...amazing...

I rarely think its ... ( 2 months ago by arazi2573)

I rarely think its a good call when the announcer does not call the winner. However, this was an exception. One of TD's best.
I recall that Kent moved Real Quiet out in the last few jumps interfering with Victory Gallop. I think there was an inquiry so RQ probably would have been DQ'd had VG not won anyway.

this finish is very ... ( 1 week ago by MaronasCarreras)

this finish is very similar to this year's travers. Real Quiet had always a short lead, but in the wire Victory Gallop's head just went down. One metre more and Real Quiet should have won
