You obviously had a couple of good horses there. I thought less of them at the time, but they both have made their mark. I was a little lucky in getting a mental image of the pace scenario and it held up for me that day.
I keep viewing the Fountain of Youth from bdhsheets site:
http://www.kentuckyderby.com
I missed the live call cause i viewed the race over the puter. Theres no subsitute for being there. Anyway, one of my favorite things in racing is Tom Durkin. He is bar none the best race caller I've ever listened to and I got to hear him call the Fountain for the first time at this site. I have to wonder if he draws up ideas for the call pre race. I think he must. This call was classic. One of the best ever. I can't stop listening to it. It compares to the 1989 B.C. Classic call. How does he do it? How does he get all those calls down and not slur a word? Not really make a mistake? I think his excitement is genuine and its infectious.
Durkin:
"Theres a half mile left to run and Second of June makes his move. There goes Second of June. Read the Footnotes gonna go right with him. Second of June and Read the Footnotes, the two favorites hook up leaving the backstretch...And the Stage is Set in the Fountain of Youth. Second of June and Read the Footnotes. These two virtually even at the top of the stretch. Read the Footnotes Turns up the pressure on Second of June. Its the acid test now in the Fountain of Youth. Second of June is a neck in front. Read the Footnotes gonna test him right down to the wire and the two of them THROW IT DOWN. Second of June still "off" a head. Jerry Bailey is all over Read the Footnotes, now its a nose. Second of June, Read the Footnotes, right together. READ... THE... FOOTNOTES"
