the 2007 Belmont Stakes immediately went into my "top" list along with the victory gallop/behrens whitney, point given belmont, and others.

Yes, I think RTR in the Belmont will be one of my favorites too.

you will probably say this many times in the years to come.

if i had a dollar....

Affirmed beats Alydar again in the Belmont. I had such absolute faith in 'Affirmy', but Alydar made me sweat.

One of my favs is the 2004 Jockey Club Gold Cup with Funny Cide. Might've been his last good race (which is sad). Ghostzapper ended up puttin him in his place a few weeks later, but I love this race-

Really good video and audio quality for this one.

My other is Tiznow/Sakhee '01 BC Classic stretch duel.

Even though we all know the outcome, at the top of the stretch when the caller shouts out "Alydar's got his nose out front" my heart skips a beat and I get butterflies. What a race!

I only chose races which were in my lifetime, and while that technically was I was too young to remember it- but I completely agree with you. Incredible series between two incredible horses.

You are so right, he was just coming into his own. He could run at almost any distance and had so much heart. I was absolutley sick when he had to be put down. I thought that he was on the road to being one of the greats in the sport.

04 Derby and Secretariat's Belmont......I've told this story on here before, but one of my favorite memories with my Dad was the day Big Red won the triple crown....I actually didn't see the race because I had a little league game. My Dad was asst coach and dropped me off at the field and then went back home to watch the Belmont. He got to the game just as we were coming to bat in the first inning....I hit lead off and got on, stole 2nd, kid gets a hit and as I'm rounding 3rd, my Dad was coaching 3rd and he hits me on the butt and yells out Secretariat by 30 and I scored standing up....seems like yesterday.....

Secretariat's triple crown races. Big Red will always be "Super Horse" to me!
#2- Afleet Alex's Preakness and Belmont. Alex's Preakness is second to Big Red's Belmont for amazing to watch.

Better Talk Now winning the BC Turf, and Pleasantly Perfect winning the BC Classic...

The race that got me into it as a kid:

He's probably my favorite horse of all time... :)

This one still brings me chills...

I apologize to the Sunday Silence fans on here... Sunday was a very nice horse, but I always believed that Easy Goer was the better of the two, and it is because of Easy Goer that I am a fan of racing.

What a great rivalry those two had!

The final race for The Cliff's Edge..... it always depresses me.

My Favorite
 

the 2000 or 2001 Sword Dancer Handicap

The one where John's Call won

What a race

my most favorite was my first live race. I bet on.

May 29,2000 a 5 Furlong Turf Sprint I placed a 2 dollar wager on Caro's Royalty. and she nipped Show Me the Stage at the wire to win at 4 to 1.

That race also featured the great sprinter HeckofaRalph.

....UnclyTrust would love you long time.....

Secretariat's Belmont. Perhaps the single most dominating performance of any athlete in any sport.
