Best and Worst Breeders Cup
 
Worst: 2008 was a synthetic nightmare for handicappers

Best: 1995 was capped off by Cigars undefeated year and Tom Durkins best race call IMO

Worst - 2007 (the weather)

Best - 1984 (The 1st and still the best)

Worst) Monmouth 2007 weather

Best) 2011 Drosselmeyer fat collections

I can't think of BC 1990 without Go For Wand. :(

2009 because Doug gave out Vale of York in the Juvenile. ;)

Breeders Cups to me are like one's children, there are no best and worst ones.

However 2009 and Zenyatta's close on Gio Ponti was a pretty good one. And last year's, with a friend hitting the pic 6 for 50K plus was a good one as well.;)

2007 - second this! Monmouth went all wrong.

2012 - Wise Dan winning the mile cost me a huge pick 4. Closing on Animal Kingom was good for 10K ($2). Ugh!!

Best for me was 2004 just because of what Ghostzapper did to one of the best BCC fields in history.

Worst has to be the synthetic travesties at SA in 08-09.

I will agree with some that the synth years of 08-09 were lousy for the racing, though 09 was a good year for me at the windows, I hated the way the "championship" dirt divisions were being played for on that stuff.

The 1998 edition gave us memorable performances Silverbulletday, Da Hoss, and Awesome Again, but I'll go with 2010 and the back half of that day that featured Goldlikova, Uncle Mo, and Blame.
