What Willie Carson really said is that the race that ultimately bottomed him was this race, when he panicked into making up too much ground too quickly as he was`nt sure Opening Verse would come back to the field. Remember watching this live and fully empathize with Carson, as there was a moment in this race when it looked as if they had given him too much rope. Refreshing that Carson always admits to this understandable error of judgement when asked about this.
Definitely one of the greates horses ever , Thank you for sharing
Winning the 2000 Guineas, The Derby, Eclipse & King George in the same season takes some doing.
Never rated high enough for me, one of the greatest.
