just a couple off the top of my head.
Best
The Classic
Uncle Mo
Goldikova
Big Drama and the ride by Coa
Gomez
Theriot

Worst
Breakdown of rough sailing
The whole Life at Ten fiasco
Not so much the fight, but ESPN continuous loop of it trying to get some people to keep watching
Quality Road
Maragh (he could have stayed at Aqueduct and gave rides like that)

Gomez made a difference yesterday, I know alot of people will say Jockies don't win races but try telling that to the connections of Pluck and Blame today. Imagine if Rajiv Maragh or Jose Lezcano riding these 2, they don't sniff the winner's circle if Gomez wasn't on them.

best:

dvr'ing the races, coming home and zipping thru the nonsense and just watching the good stuff.
getting home in time to see the classic live.
blame, who i'd picked way back when, winning.
goldikova three-peating. an awesome horse.
dakota phone's win-love seeing an older horse triumph like that, repaying his connections for keeping him in racing.

worst:
having a horse break down.
them only showing zenyatta the whole time, with nary a glimpse of the rest of the classic field.
the mosses asking fans to be quiet.

Best
Rolling Pick 3's
Uncle Mo
Blame and Zenyetta
Chamberlain Bridge and Big Drama beating the bias
Goldikova's explosive move
Dangerous Midge rerallying

Worst
Still seeing Zenyatta haters after that gutsy performance
Jaycito not showing up
Forevertogether showing up (enough already quit embarassing her)
All Euro non turf horses
Musket Man not hitting the board
Me fat fingering 1,6 instead of my intended 1,5 in the last leg of the Pick 6 that cost me 1200 bucks in the 5 of 6
Me for not having Dakota Phone in above Pick 6 yet having him in a winning P3

I never got Musket Man... I said on this website, at least a year ago that he would never win a race. They might be able to find a Grade 3 for him, but they have yet to do that. I had 5 friends say, I like this Musket Man a little. I said why? They all said because Serling likes him. No one could give one reasson why to like this slug.

Musket Man likely would've won the Dirt Mile.

I didn't think he would win however he is a battler and always finds a way to hit the board. The kind that you can key off of in a tri.

It does not always work. I thought the same about Warriors Reward... Yes I thought he could win, but he was lock city to run 2-3 in my mind...

The horse just sucks. And I'm not rubbing it in, he's burned a good amount of my money this year as well.
