Best Race You've Seen In Person
 

Can be a big event or something else.

Mine would be the Meadowlands Cup that Gander won. As described by the Bigm in 2001 "Racing highlights included a blanket finish in the $500,000 Grade 2 Meadowlands Cup with Gander coming out a head in front of Broken Vow and Include."

I loved Gander and the entire stretch he fought off 2 horses--New York style--battling to the wire. Awesome race to see in person.

"Tiznow wins it for America!!!"

Wow, I wish I was there for Holy Bull's Travers. Sad thing is, I was in Saratoga that day but not at the track. Ugggh

Personal Ensign's BC.

But I've seen a lot of great ones.

I watched that race on the roof.

Holy Bull's 1994 Woodward.... it was an AMAZING day of racing...

Didn't you see Affirmed & Alydar? If I could take a step into a time machine....

Saw the Hopeful, Belmont and Travers. I also saw each race individually a few times.

Blushing K.D. was probably the most impressive filly I've seen in person. Saw her at Monmouth before she got hurt. Really really good.

The two best iv'e seen in person Flanders and Serena's Song
Juvy Fillies BC and Inside Information win in the 1995 BC Distaff

Victory Gallop/Behrens whitney... ten most wanted travers "cause i bet him heavy"... and number 1 is commentator

I've got to go with Personal Ensign at the BC, also. Didn't think she was gonna get there.

Excitement wise I would say '03 BC Turf dead heat between Johar and a favorite of mine High Chapparral. Performance wise, although skeptical about this race I would have to say Street Sense in the Juvenile.

The Test Stakes with You and Carson Hallow was the most exciting race I've seen in person.

i have a few favorites:

Victory Gallop Witney

Smarty Jones Preakness

Point Given Belmont (may be #1)

Bernardini Jim Dandy (got chills - yes i know it was a weak field)

Carson Hollow/You Test

Artax in the 99 sprint (Beat a great field - Kona Gold, Successful Appeal, Forestry, Vicar, Lexicon, Affirmed Success, Stravinski in 107 4/5)

2005 preakness.... afleet alex fallin to his knees....regaining and winning strongly

Yes !! That is one of the greatest of all time !!!!
