Who is your favorite all time Breeders Cup horse

[whodey17]

Mine is Lure. Back to Back Mile wins in 92 and 93.

[Buffymommy]

Oh this is a hard question...

I would guess I have to say Concern. I rooted for this horse the entire year and he paid off in the big one. "always a bridesmaid until the big one."


I also loved DaHoss's win. But Concern is probably #1.

[Coach Pants]

Bernardini. That was great.

[ninetoone]

Pleasantly Perfect...man oh Mandella!

"Concern from out of the clouds..." Love that one!

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

[ArlJim78]

Tiznow, retaking the lead and "winning for America"

[Heels1989]

Personal Ensign

[declansharbor]

Hands down without a doubt.



INTERCONTINENTAL


He, with the help of Rafael, bought me my GTI.

[Slewbopper]

Anees. 30/1...had $10 across on him

[saucon17]

MEAFARA, although she did not win any BC sprint races, her two 2nd's she ran her eyeballs out. A great grey sprinting filly.

[Sightseek]

Saint Liam

[NoLuvForPletch]

Squirtle Squirt. Loved him from Day 1.

[opusone]

Kona Gold

[philcski]

Ghostzapper, Street Sense, & Xtra Heat.

[SentToStud]

3. Housebuster running oiut at 2/5
2. Sheik Albadou
1. Thunderello

[outofthebox]

Dehoss! He keyed the pick 6 for me and pick 4 that day at CD. I think ive blown all that $$$$$ back though...

[GBBob]

Most deserving? Tiznow

best for $$

Wilko
Red Rocks
Cash Run

[Bigsmc]

Paseana.

Largest win bet I ever placed. I had complete buyers remorse throughout the post parade and warm up and was thrilled that I didn't completely screw myself financially by wagering more than I could afford as they came down the stretch and I realized she wasn't getting beat.

[PPerfectfan]

Pleasantly Perfect...man oh Mandella!

Of course he is my fav also! That whole day was the perfect blend of being in horsey lover/handicapper heaven. All the horses I have been following since day 1, have the racing day of their lives and pay huge!! Had the old men at the OTB crying like babies.hehe

[sumitas]

I liked Kona Gold. He's my favorite. Of course I liked Successful Appeal too but that turf mile was a lot of grid lock for him.

[ninetoone]

Squirtle Squirt. Loved him from Day 1.

I can't like him, since he took out my girl Xtra Heat...

[letswastemoney]

Funny Cide. Back to back up the track finishes in the Classic FTW!! :)

[Thunder Gulch]

Personal Ensign was a touch before I really got into the sport, but watching that finish gives me chills today.

Tiznow was my favorite, but Ouija Board took over the top spot last year.

Ouija Board was the first I thought of when I saw this thread.

[justindew]

Desert Stormer. My first Breeders' Cup, and my first BC winner. If only she hadn't been part of the field.

Tiznow also deserves a mention. Played him big in 2001, and had the exacta many times as well as the double with Fantastic Light.

[freddymo]

Hands down without a doubt.



INTERCONTINENTAL


He, with the help of Rafael, bought me my GTI.

They laughed at me to when I suggested she would be loose and crush.. BANG

Globalization could get you a new house?

[Charismatic1]

1. Tiznow
2. Ouija Board
Both with my head and my heart.

Either my head or my heart.
3. Invasor - Proved my belief right and all the Dini Weenies wrong.
4. Spain - Should have had two.
5. Rock of Gibralter - disastrous race. Domedriver was worthy, though.
Also: John's Call, Vindication, Squirtle Squirt, She's a Devil Due, and Macho Uno.

BC horses who irritated me either by their hype or just bitter that they won.
1. Bernardini/Fusaichi Pegasus - ridiculously over hyped.
3. Volponi. I was alive to 8 horses in the Classic for the Pick 4. Figured he might run a nice race, but no way did I think he could beat that group.
4. Wilko. Thought I had that race won for the tri box (and eventually would've hit the pick 4) when my three picks were 1,2,3 just outside the 1/16 pole before this guy all of a sudden woke up.
5. Johannesburg. That race just pissed me off.

[miraja2]

In a big shocker I'll take Sunday Silence.
There have been a lot of great races in BC history, but I think the '89 Classic tops them all.

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

Personal Ensign...that race was the greatest!
Inside Information...her "daylight" victory with a rainbow in the NYC skyline was awesome.
DaHoss...to win those B.C. Mile, two years apart was something.

[Cajungator26]

One of my fave FL breds:

Unbridled.

Unbridled.
I think Durkin's "Here comes the DERBY WINNER" stretch call in that race was one his best BC calls:

[2Hot4TV]

A few years back Precisionist, one of my favorite race race horses.

[Indian Charlie]

I would say my two are thirty slews and ap indy.

thirty slews because in mexico back then you could choose which regional pool to bet from. he was something like 3/1 in california and 35/1 in ny.

that was the only time i thought ny had a reason to exist!

ap indy, he was just bitchin.

[somerfrost]

My favorites are Tiznow and Personal Ensign with love for Cigar as well...my best score was Last Tycoon in the 86 Mile...36-1 at the track but 90-1 at Penn National where I bet him for my highest priced winner ever!

On my BC horse that still irritate me is: GoatZapper, freaking robots horse beat "my" PP! :mad: Everytime I hear his name I just wanna slap someone, like somone named Bailey.hehe I know,I know Goatzapper was WONDERFUL, blah, blah,blah, dont wanna hear it. hehe And the whole Bernardini can beat everyone, ummm totally forgetting Invasor. How stupid did their little posters look after the race? haha

[Zaf]

Da Hoss

[horseofcourse]

Personal Rush. Coolest headgear since Gate Dancer. Plus it was pink so that alone trumped the Gate Dancer headgear. And he finished ahead of Funny Cide, Birdstone, Bowman's Band, Fantasticat and Freefourinternet. Personal Rush will not soon be forgotten in these parts.

[Pedigree Ann]

KONA! KONA! KONA! Watched the race at CD with his 'godfather' (guy who helped plan the breeding), who had him singled in several multirace wagers and paid for prime rib for the gang after the races were over.

Also Singletary, whose progress from an unraced 2yo well-known by the habituees on another board frequented by trainer Chatlos. We all cashed on his maiden win at $63 or so, followed him loyally for all of his career. He was 'our boy.'

[Slewbopper]

MEAFARA, although she did not win any BC sprint races, her two 2nd's she ran her eyeballs out. A great grey sprinting filly.

I think it was at Gulfstream. I played the Pick 7. Had five winners and two places. Mea got nipped by 30 Slews or Cardmania, and Sky Classic got nipped by Fraise. So close!!!!

I know. Close only matters in hand grenades and horseshoes.
