In my opinion the greatest losing effort in history was Seattle Slew in the 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup. How he ran the opening half mile in :45.1 (with some colt named Affirmed pushing him all the way), and still had enough left in the tank to battle a 10-time G1 winner in Exceller down to the wire in a 12f race is beyond me. If you have never seen the race you should definitely watch it, and even if you have seen it 20 times......you should watch it again.
