I'm amazed that 1988 at Chuchhill downs hasn't been mentioned.
Personal Ensign nipping Winning Colors and Goodbye Halo in the shadow of the wire.
Alysheba defeating Seeking the Gold, Forty Niner, Personal Flag, Cryptocleance, Waquiot and Slew City Slew.
Great Communicator beating Sunshine Forever in the Turf.
Miesque winning her second BC turf mile over Steinlen and destroying my all times favorite horse Bet Twice who never should have been in the mile.
Is it True beating Easy Goer in the Juvenile over a course that Easy Goer clearly despised. Too bad for him he caught a similar track a few months later in the derby.
Open Mind winning the Juvenile Fillies as one of a five horse Lukas Entry that completed the trifecta.
And Of course Gulch winning the Sprint coming from off the pace. (I'm still amazed that Leroy Jolley got him to go a route of ground in the Triple Crown races.)
