No Breeders’ Cup stirred up the emotions of Americans quite like the 2001 Breeders’ Cup Classic. Belmont Parks is just 12 miles from Ground Zero, where some 3,000 American lost their lives and the impact of this tragedy could be felt at the 2001 Breeders’ Cup just six weeks after the tragedy. When the American horse Tiznow charged down the lane trying to make history by becoming the first horse to ever win a second Breeders’ Cup Classic, the colt’s fight and perseverance created a buzz through grandstands. Tiznow’s effort and Tom Durkin’s call magnified this moment that will forever be remembered as an iconic moment in horse racing.
