Wait a minute.....A riderless horse actually beat Native Diver who was under full speed with a jockey? That's incredible. Did someone then think, Wow, this horse beat a huge champion....let's take another look at him!!! I would have! LOL!
Judith, since he was carrying 115 pounds less than Native Diver, you would expect him to win the race !!! What's surprising is that Native Diver had enough heart to increase his stride and stay competitive.
Oh, no doubt! expect him to be 'able' to win, but not to actually go there. And when Native Diver pushed, to see the 'riderless horse 'say', "No, I'm supposed to be in front" was just wonderful. I just really enjoyed how O'Hare(?) went right on about his job and clearly seemed to know the idea was to be first. LOL fun to watch him calmly and seemingly methodically work his way to the front all on his own. Unusual. You can see him seem to be a bit surprised and then decide to go on and get it done. Wonder where he went from there. Can you imagine horse races without jockeys? Fun funny. Thanks so much. I would love to have a clip of just this race to keep forever. Instant smile anytime I need one just thinking about. Thanks again, Judy.
www.pedigreequery.com/ohara Actually pretty high class. Go to "Reports" drop-down menu on upper left, then "Stakes Races" option, and see the races he was in in the '60s (not the other years which show horses with similar names).
@@jamiewilliams970 Winning being a major part of the game, preserving genes the other. These days there's got to be some sort of pre-race covering--at least a few mares--or cryogenic preservation of a valuable stallion's genetics. That is to say, as long as no horses are harmed in the process.
Nope… that isn’t how the Jockey Club works… genetics would be better if people bred for SOUND horses instead of catalog pages… not every stallion needs to be a sire… most make wonderful geldings…
So much for the myth of jockey 'strategy'.

To my mind, the 'riderless horse' who ran against Native Diver is the real winner, by far. Any info on his future?

He was brought to the slaughter house for misbehaviour
Good stuff.
Weight is very important the loose horse beat native diver
Is that the late Sam McKee on the commentary in Buckpasser's segment at Monmouth in the Sapling?
win only with 9 and more riders ...thats crazy and corrupt
Love that little Kelso. Too bad horses had to be gelded!
Yeah well… same could be said of John Henry, who was absolutely mean… I seriously doubt he would have run if not gelded…
