I decided to post this YouTube of Spectacular Bid's unsuccessful bid to become the third consecutive Triple Crown winner in 1979 when a safety pin and his unexperienced jockey threw his chances away:
I was never so pissed off in my entire life over a horse race than I was with this. I have written about this race many times on this blog.
I wasn't the only one sick over this race. Bid's trainer, the late Bud Delp, was so sickened over this race he never watched it again.
