What a heartbreak. Gate Dancer. A lot of couldas and shouldas. I recall a writer described how Gate Dancer actually ran about as straight as he could during the stretch drive since he was notorious for lugging and lurching, but it was not to be as Proud Truth ran the race of his life.

For a few strides you could see Gate Dancer lift his head and wait until he saw the competition. Van Berg tried everything, the horse was definitely a head case.

GD was a terrific horse but they said he was a little crazy.

Turkoman..could have won this Classic too... He was full of run..but nowhere to go on the rail..in behind a slowing Track Barron...lost all momentum and still finished 3rd with a 117 Beyer Speed figure... with a clear path nobody would have gain on that giant stride!

He’d run up to the leaders but didn’t like to pass them.
