to me two things can make a great effort, either a display of brilliance so dominating or a race in which a horse overcomes when the odds where stacked against them winning.
Couple that stand out to me have been mentioned, Ghostzappers Vosburough, Left Banks Whitney, Candy Rides Pacific Classic, Azeri's BC Distaff, Afleet Alex's Preakness.
IF I had to pick on of Zenyatta's races it would be the race she seems most criticized for because who she beat, the Clement Hirsch last year because at the top of the stretch 99/100 horses lose that race.
IF I had to pick any of RA's races it would be the Mother Goose, I thought it was her most dominating effort. The Preakness was solid, so was the Haskel.
