This is probably the most spine-tingling race I was ever attended, and I've been to about a dozen BCs, among a few thousand other races.:

This was Unbridled's 4YO debut after the winning the BC Classic at Belmont. You would have thought he would have really been up against it returning in a sprint against Housebuster, the 1990 (and eventually 1991) sprint champion. I was there with a cougar girlfriend of mine at the time (before the term was invented, of course) who knew next to nothing about horse racing. Even she started screaming.
Of course she was also a bit of a screamer, but that is another story.
