a crown nonetheless

Until the last post I'd forgotten just how vividly I remembered the showdown. I remember how absolutely focused I was, as one of 18 million, watching the race on what must have been ABC's Wide World of Sports. Not such a nice ending, but a great video tribute, and another beautiful horse. I didn't know, until this diddy, that Jacinto rode both horses as the primary jockey...and when he had to chose, between the Kentucky Derby winner and Ruffian, he chose the gal. She was never beaten to the line.

Pause the music off on the left...again. Sorry.
