I nominate the 1999 Whitney Hcp........Victory Gallop and Behrens.

This is just an amazing performance by both horses. The final time, 1:48.66, wasn't all that special, but the race itself was really one for the ages.

Another one I thought was pretty amazing was Swept Overboard's win in the 2002 Met Mile....in 1:33.34. Couldn't find the race on Youtube.

Great call on the Whitney, I was only 14 and remember being there and betting the race. I bet Victory Gallop, maybe $5 bucks. I used to go with my Uncle and Grandma all the time.

I wish I could find a replay of the 2000 Goodwood. That was another great race between two horses that didn't want to lose. Tiznow edged Captain Steve in the end.

I was struck with something else in looking at the history of the Goodwood. Has there been any other major stakes race won by full siblings consecutively?

Budroyale wins the Goodwood in 1999 and his full brother Tiznow wins it in 2000. It may have been done before, but if it hasn't, what a great trivia question that would make!

I'll upload that one to YouTube tomorrow..

You got the 85 Strub with Precisionist, Greinton and Gate Dancer?

How about the '92 Met Mile? Dixie Brass beats In Excess, Pleasant Tap, Rubiano and Twilight Agenda.

I've got the stretch run of that one, but unfortunately it is on Beta and my Betamax is broken. :(

I don't have that one right now..

'05 BC Sprint

Taste of Paradise wins for fun IMO if it wasn't for Attila's Storm and LITF backing up on the rail. Silver Train certainly took advantage of it.

And to think people were calling Bill Mott a fool for not running him in the BC Mile!

He was so much the best. LITF getting hammered to 3/5 made all the prices wacky but 12-1 on the winner of the Vosburgh on the same track was silly. They claimed foul but it was rightly disallowed because as you said it was LITF and Attila's backing up that caused his check.

Shergar, often forgotten when great horses are mentioned. Rarely are races of the magitude that he won, taken so easily.

Uhm.

He's been bred primarily to crap in California.

He really should have been in KY all along.
