00:00In 1956, my dad went to New Holland, Pennsylvania to an auction to look for cheap horses.
00:10If a horse didn't get sold, it went to the killers.
00:15There was a white Amish plow horse.
00:18The same time I looked at him, he looked down to me.
00:21Snowman and I clicked right away.
00:24I paid $80 for him.
00:27Snowman was about to be destroyed only five short years ago.
00:31Mr. Dallaire is the man who saved the legendary horse, Snowman.
00:35Down deep, the two of them were connected and somehow both of their lives were going to be affected forever.
00:43I came to this country with nothing in my pocket. Snowman and me, we made it to the top of the world.
00:51Oh, can't that horse put on a big jump.
00:55Harry was quite the competitor. He really thought no matter what he was riding, that he could beat the big guy.
01:02All eyes this week have been on underdogs Harry DeLayer and Snowman.
01:06They've been on an unprecedented East Coast winning streak.
01:09Harry DeLayer and Snowman have done it. They have won the 1958 Triple Crown.
01:16His driving force was never quit. The man never give up.
01:23He got so close to me and he got so close to my kids that he was part of the family.
01:29Snowman would do anything my dad asked of him and I believe that is because Snowman understood that my dad saved him.
01:37Snowman was more than just a horse to me. He was my best friend.
01:42Snowman was more than just a horse to the rest of him.
01:47He got so close to me and he was already getting into a dream.
01:49He was a father. He…
01:53Snowman was more than just a horse to touch him in his pocket.
01:57He was a young man against the world and he was still a kid.
02:02He was a lady of a young man.
02:05He was a young man.
