2003 best for me. Pretty much lost all day until the classic. Very frustrated by the deadheat in the Turf between High Chap and Johar which meant I got half the payoff. Was getting pretty deperate by the Classic. Decided that Medaglia D'Oro and Congaree were probably gonna go right at each other which would probably set it up for one of the closers like Pleasantly Perfect or Dynever. I was right, but very lucky too that Perfect Drift wiped out Ten Most Wanted in one of the turns. Had the tri, three exactas and also win/place on Pleasantly Perfect. That was my best breeder's cup day, but the one that made the biggest impression on me was 2001. Tiznow was amazing. All heart. A lot of people got off of him because he was pretty much refusing to run in his workouts, but he decided to run in the actual race and it was a nose to nose battle with that other horse to the finish. Never forget that race.
