Talk:Spectacular Bid

This was a solid, well-written article. I have added some details and lots of reference material. I also toned it down a little, as there seemed to be a slight bias against the jockey Ronnie Franklin. The contemporary sources seemed to blame Delp as much as Franklin for what happened in the Belmont: (my opinion is that Delp has to take some of the blame: he either gave bad instructions or he chose to employ an unreliable, hot-headed kid in the most important race of the year). I've also put the times in decimals rather than fractions, which I admit is just a personal preference.  Tigerboy1966  20:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Interesting, but sad article on Franklin here.  Tigerboy1966   21:08, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
