The best race you have witnessed
What is the best race you have ever witnessed from the track. No races you have just watched from the comfort of your home, but when you have actually been there.
Mine would have to be one of these two: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DWGiJ8njuWQ - Montjeu winning the King George back in 2000. For anyone who has never seen this, he is breathtaking. Or this... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oe3ipnDu7DY - The atmosphere at Santa Anita (especially when he won) was nothing i have ever witnessed before.

A mare named All Along, trained by Bianconne, about 25 years ago. I think it was the Big A, maybe Belmont. Incredibly impressive and beat the boys if I remember. I think it was before the Big A had an inner dirt and had two turf courses.

The 2007 NZ Stakes. It had been a really disappointing Cup Week for me, with an average Aussie horse coming over and making my favourite race of every year look really low-quality when he won the Derby, then there was a ridiculous Miami Herald-esque "silver device" controversy about that race, then the weather was disgusting on Cup Day. This race on the last day of the week made up for all of that.

Affirmed/Alydar @ KY. Derby - 1st and only time i've been @ Churchill Downs.
I was a kid and My dad took me saying the derby was the top race to watch. That race got me hooked on horse racing and i've been a fan ever since

For me, the best race I've ever seen was also one that I saw live -- the 2002 Arlington Million. Forbidden Apple, Falcon Flight, Paolini, Beat Hollow -- amazing race.

The Test Stakes with You and Carson Hallow would certainly be the best I've seen in person.
