As far as racing moments go:
High: This was a REALLY bad year for top class racing - but there was a trio of genuine all-time Great debut performances turned in by Curlin, Magnificence, and Indian Blessing. From that standpoint, it was a spectacular year for all-time great debut performances.
Low: I was certainly most annoyed that Street Sense somehow put himself into position to be a first ballot hall-of-famer - and an "all-time great" on acomplishment in recent history - that with only a single run left in his career. And it centered solely around wins in the BC Juvie and Ky Derby that just looked so much better on the surface than they were analytically. To sound every bit the bitter queen, the impossible trip Street Sense got in the Ky Derby was my low racing moment of the year.
