Just bought a collection of buttons from this race yesterday. Each one has an anthropomorphised horse doing something related to their name. Didn't get Scorpion's thought.
Same. I was at that Derby. I was stunned. Ok, he didn't win, but I didn't expect a 5th place finish and 11 lengths back from the winner, Monarchos, a horse who had no shot in H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS of winning the Triple Crown. Gary Stevens, who was told about Point Given having sensitive feet that day and would not like the hard and fast track. Stevens admitted he blew the race by getting Point Given too close to the hot pace.
I miss him a ton. I'd visit him quite often at the Kentucky Horse Park. He was a doll.
He will be truly missed. RIP Point Given
WOW. Look at the size of that monster. Heck of race horse.
He definitely gave a good pointer. 👍

One of the best ever to not win Triple Crown. Bad trip too close to a blistering pace in Derby.
One of the best horses never to win the triple crown and my favorite bob baffert trained horse
