Highs: Curlin's Classic and Rag's Belmont...
Lows: Can't get past Barbaro and George Washington. I just remember the Eclipse Awards and "Team Barbaro" getting the special award and then losing him a week later. The breakdown of George all but ruined the B/C for me. There were several "Euros" at the hotel we stayed at for the Breeders' Cup, and I remember the "Gorgeous George" jackets that they were wearing... I can't imagine the heartbreak they must have felt losing him under those circumstances.
