The Best Breeders Cup Races that Arn't Remembered

[Soaring Softly]

I thought it would be fun to look back on the great Breeders Cup races that nobody remembers. My number one candidate is the 1987 Breeders Cup Turf. Theatrical and Trempolino gave no quarter in that race, and their battle down the stretch was epic.

1994 Classic, Concern coming from last to first beating the likes of Devil His Due, Bertrando, Tabassco Cat, Go For Gin and Best Pal.

Worst, 1990 Distaff, Go For Wand-Bayakoa. Disturbing to this day and definitely no link needed here.

Hopefully, 1991 BC Juvenile is remembered (many Cups ago) - when Arazi ran like he was "shot out of a cannon"

Amazingly you never see mention of Ghostzapper's fantastic Classic:

Actually, both were mentioned prominently in Jay Privman's DRF review of the first 29 years of the BC.

The Breeders' Cup Sprints of 92 and 93 were great races that never get remembered. Meafara ran so well both times, only to be defeated basically at the wire.

I missed that article, but a refreshing reminder of two excellent performances. The Zenyatta Classics are so overused, but that comes as no surprise.
