15 Best BC Classics

[Calzone Lord]

As chosen by me -- when I was drunk late one night and testing some video mixing stuff on my Computer.

No Ghostzapper clip on the BC's website so no video of him.

The thing that really sticks out to me is how much better Durkin was at calling the big races than Denman.

[Getaway]

Nice videos but in my heart I want Tiznow's 2001 classic to be higher on the list...maybe it's just sentimental but in my mind it's one of the best regardless.

You'd have to sprout wings to be as good as Trevah...

That was fun; thanks for sharing! I'm sure someone would have posted GZ's BC on YouTube. There's software available so you can download videos from YouTube if you decide to re-edit and put in footage from his race.

Hard to believe the 1st Classic didn't make the cut

It was more than a full second slower than Princess Rooney's BC Distaff win at the same 10f distance.

I tried to account highly for drama and excitement of the actual race -- but the '84 BC Classic (and last years) were sundial jobs.

Have to agree with that.............(see avatar) Also, forgot how Unbridled had to 'thread the needle' in his victory. Great stuff!!!!!

Top 15? What have they run, 27?
Next week's edition, the best 98 Kentucky Derbys ever!

How about the worst 5 winners ever of the Classic:

1) Volponi
2) Alphabet Soup
3) Cat Thief
4) Arcangues
5) Concern in a photo over Black Tie Affair

I was drunk and testing equipment. I also made a Randy Moss tribute.

By the way, Alphabet Soup ran awesome in the BC Classic and ran super awesome against Gentlemen in his final career race. He would trot over Cat Thief and Arcangues.

You can knock Volponi, But I touted him 1 week before the Cup was run, his form said he was going to run a monster race and he did. one of my best longshot picks ever

This has nothing to do with him being one of the worst winners ever, but I still appreciate a good redboard.

Great drama, DrugS. Watching that was a pleasure.

slotdirt, I was a Blushing John fan, too.

It still sounds like Denman is crying when Zenyatta hangs.
