World's Greatest Thoroughbred Race?
 

Reading a British book which terms the Epsom Derby as the 'World's Greatest Flat Race'. With the Arc Sunday, it made me curious what people consider the greatest of the great flat races internationally? You can vote multiple times, so maybe tab your top 3.

I just finished "Not by a Long shot" and am looking for a new read... What are you reading?

It's kind of difficult for an average race fan living in the US to realize the history and magnitude of the races in another country. I voted Ky Derby sinply on tradition and the fact that every American trainer's / owner's / jockey's dream is to win it

Same reason I would vote for it.

I just bought a few books on clearance on Exclusively Equine, you get an extra 20% off if you use the code: EXTRA20

Thank you

i love half dot com.

am currently reading 'the glorious cause'...oxford history of the united states, volume one. it's pretty good.

I dont see anyone in the US ship over there for any of their races....but I see plenty ship over here.

I love the Melbourne Cup and hopefully I'll go before my time on this ball of dirt is up.

Kentucky Derby.............






and a long way back in 2nd, the Arc.

I've thought that long before I went to my first Derby, or moved here.

Don't they run the Kentucky Derby in Louisville?

Is it the Louisville Derby?

DT Trip, Irish and I are in......I actually have a passport now so I can plan these fun shindigs

Are you employed by Yum! Brands?

Those that selected the Arlington Million should be banned immediately...maybe even the guy that put it on the list!

I wanted to write in the obvious choice......the last leg of any Pick-6 you hit.

I'm kinda pissed Byk didn't list the Tampa Bay Derby as an option:mad:

The ultimate would be to stay there and travel the country and finish the trip by attending both finals of the Australian Open.

Yes. I work the drive through at KFC. :zz:

What is your point?

Tennis...it's Australian for "gay", mate.
