Anyone have any stories and related race replays that they want to share?
For me, it is the 2006 Florida Derby. I remember sitting down to watch that race. At that time I was just an fringe fan. I only really caught the triple crown and BC races. But the effort that Sharp Humor showed that day and Barbaro's response to being looked right in the eye for the first time really affected my interest in the sport. I still remember the two words I said to myself as soon as they crossed the wire: I'm hooked.
It's a race that I will personally cherish forever.
