2004 darley alcibiades:
Runway Model, Sharp Lisa, In the Gold, Dance Away Capote, Sense of Style ; in that order, blanket finish.
we were at the finish line. we could see Runway Model won, after that we had to wait for the photo.

That Belmont was pretty exciting. Then again, any Triple Crown race is at reat to see in person.

Maybe not the "best" race, but Ouija Board's win in the F&M Turf this year was truly a performance for the ages. I get goosebumps just thinking about that race... In my mind the best horse on the grounds at the '06 BC.

The Best and the Worst in one Race:

1990 Breeders Cup Distraff was by far the greatest and most memorable race I have ever witnessed in person. With Bayakoa and Go for Wand hooking up right out of the gate and dueling for a mile and a sixteenth, until Go for Wand went down.

That was probably the saddest thing I have ever seen in racing.
