The best race you have witnessed
What is the best race you have ever witnessed from the track. No races you have just watched from the comfort of your home, but when you have actually been there.
Mine would have to be one of these two: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DWGiJ8njuWQ - Montjeu winning the King George back in 2000. For anyone who has never seen this, he is breathtaking. Or this... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oe3ipnDu7DY - The atmosphere at Santa Anita (especially when he won) was nothing i have ever witnessed before.

A mare named All Along, trained by Bianconne, about 25 years ago. I think it was the Big A, maybe Belmont. Incredibly impressive and beat the boys if I remember. I think it was before the Big A had an inner dirt and had two turf courses.

The 2007 NZ Stakes. It had been a really disappointing Cup Week for me, with an average Aussie horse coming over and making my favourite race of every year look really low-quality when he won the Derby, then there was a ridiculous Miami Herald-esque "silver device" controversy about that race, then the weather was disgusting on Cup Day. This race on the last day of the week made up for all of that.

Seattle Slew vs. Affirmed - The atmosphere was electric, like it was the 7th game of the World Series.
Seattle Slew vs. Exceller when Slew came again to just miss. Arazi taking the Breeder's Cup Juvenile. His move was breathtaking even if it came against a moderate group and he was only a 2YO. Go for Wand in the Test. Light Light vs. Meadow Star when Hammer made a massive wager on LL in the last few seconds and lost a thrilling stretch drive to MS. There were plenty of other great ones I saw live, but these are the first I thought of.
