Smarty Jones in the Belmont.

One of the gamest wins you'll ever see.

The great 2-year-old filly Flanders battled for the lead with Hall of Famer Serena's Song the whole way and just beat her in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies. Sadly, she broke down right after the wire.

One of the rare races in the entire history of the sport where two genuinely great divisional horses duel and battle and survive to finish 1-2 at the wire.

The great Go For Wand made a valiant attempt to do it in the 1990 Breeders Cup Distaff, but broke down in the mid-stretch while desperate to hold Bayakoa.
