Favorite race of all time.....
Not the greatest, not the biggest win you ever had, not the best field..... if you have one, what is your favorite race of all time?
I'm talking sentiment here and nothing more..... A special memory. Anyone?

the match race between the black, sun raider and cyclone. no, just kidding....
probably the kentucky derby won by genuine risk. had only been watching racing a couple of years, and here was this beautiful filly taking on the boys. of course i had to pull for her--and she was my first derby winning pick. had rooted for alydar and then general assembly in the previous runnings...

The swimsuit model race at Hollywood when the one lady tried to pull up but went down right before the wire.

For me it was the 2004 Hollywood Derby. First time i ever went to the track or saw the horses up close and personal.  Good Reward, Hendrix, Fast and Furious, On the Acorn, Big Squeeze, Imperialism, Blackdoun, Whilly, Timo, Terroplane, Fightclub, Laura's Lucky Boy and Joursanvault. I'll never forget it. I was hooked.

( LOL!....???) Oh that was hilarious all right Ryan. I would think old Shecky Green clips put you right on the floor. (But I will say DollarBill flying down the stretch for 4th place in the Preakness as well as Thistleydown runners OneFourDave and DJMarinesBoot winning at incredibly amazing points in time tie for my best.)

1998 Belmont Stakes...most likely the closest we'll get to see a horse attempt to be a Triple Crown winner for quite a while.

The 1982 LQHBA Futurity. My mother was the trainer of a stud that no one wanted. When she convinced the owner to buy him(his first horse ever) he had warts all over his face, 3 shoes on, and limping. The first time we took him to work at EVE, I went to borrow a shadow roll and the man told me he would let me borrow it but dont blame him if it out ran that ugly ass horse. He went on to win his first 3 outs, then win the trial, then the Futurity. She was the first woman to win the futurity at that time and no woman has won it since. She is also still the only trainer, man or woman to win the Futurity then come back the next year and win the Derby with the same horse. Sorry for being long winded but I am very proud of her.

For me it is the one in my avatar........the 1989 Preakness. It was the greatest race I have ever seen AND it is my favorite.
I still watch that one a couple times a year.......and you should too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSaQPrMS0RQ Last edited by miraja2 : 07-05-2007 at 09:50 AM.
