Any videos of Chinook Pass?

Postby Ogygian » Tue Aug 04, 2009 7:30 am

I think Wilsonvandal asked about this......there doesn't appear to be any Chinook Pass videos on Youtube.

So for the love of God and all things holy, isn't there some sort of online video library or something? What about the old KDOC replay show? Surely they have tapes on him and others from the early 80's, no?

Can someone get on this, please? I need to see that guy run just one more time. :-)

I was surprised too- Even when I did a Google search all I got for video & images were some nice videos & images from Chinook Pass in Washington St.

I memory serves, CP was on the old "Winners Circle" stakes race replay show back in the day.

Other info about him (apologies if this has been posted already):

Winnings: 25 Starts: 16 - 4 - 1, $480,073

At 2: WON Washington Stallion S. (C & G Div), Stripling S.

At 3: WON Palos Verdes H., Meteor H., Governor's H., Speed H.; 2ND Longacres Mile H. (G2), Orange Coast H., Puget Sound H.; 3RD National Sprint Champ. S.

At 4: WON Longacres Mile H. (G2), Sierra Madre H., Potrero Grande H., San Simeon H., Bing Crosby H.

1983 Eclipse Award champion sprinter.

Set world record for 5f at Longacres 9/17/82 (0:55 1/5), still the North American dirt record.

Voted Washington Horse of the Century in 2000.

NTRA believes it "highly likely" that Chinook Pass is the oldest living Eclipse Award winner.
