I remember Harvey Pack on inside racing s weekly race review program showing the weekend big races complete. He said when you watch this you better stand up because if you are sitting you will get up anyway. Lmao
I was at Pimlico watching this on close circuit TV. Broad Brush went totally out of camera range and it was only at the last moment we saw him win. The crowd went wild as Broad Brush was so loved by Marylanders. Thanks BRIAN
I had a big bet on Lac Oiumet. This was late 1986, when you could bet Philadelphia Park (now Parx) through PHoneBet, and watch the live feed at places like Towne Pizza, 19th and Pine. They'd pass the phone around for everyone to make their bets, just like an old-style bookie joint.
That race, along with Afleet Alex's Preakness and Alysheba's Belmont over Bet Big were 3 amazing races. Even Angel Cordero was awestruck by Broad Brush's ability to give the field over 10 lengths{With 1/4 of a mile to go} and win going away! Incredible! Thanks lengua92.
I had a BIG bet on Lac Ouimet, who threatened briefly turning for home, only for BOLT Brush to beat me. Watched the race from Towne Pizza, 19th and Pine, whih had a phonebet room like the old bookie rooms but this was legal. Then cable came a year or two later.
Yes, many horses are taught to pull up at a certain location on the track, often near the gap where they enter and leave to train. This can create departure behaviors when the gap is at the top of the stretch, say perhaps in or near the quarter mile chute. Part of training and teaching thoroughbreds is to make sure they are taught and trained to run to the finish line. If they are allowed to depart the training routine at the quarter mile gap, they may try to abandon the race there.
What a BEAST!!
Like an old movie. Wonderful
Simply one of the most amazing performances by a thoroughbred in the last 40 years. Broad brush was a classy, tough racer.
amazing.....ngel Cordero up

I think Broad Brush was just showing off.....One of my all time favorite races.

westbound he definitely had his own way. He was fun to follow.
Wow. What a monster...Broad Brush.
I was cursing a blue streak, because I bet at small odds and that happened... 15 seconds later I'm screaming watching the Amazing Come Back!!

The great Jack Lamar announcing...

Jack was the Best
@@Braglemaster123 "And they still have 3/8 of a mile to run"....it may be parx now, but it will always be KEYSTONE to me...

LacQuimet was no slouch either !
What a horse.
His victory over Ferdinand in the
Santa Anita Handicap is one of the
greatest stretch duels ever.
You bet. I was at the finish line at Santa Anita with a win ticket on Broad Brush in my pocket.
Progeny of this horse love an off track

Broad Brush like to come from behind and run with the herd So did his Son Concern. Dicky Small was one heck of a Trainer
