Saratoga and the WV Breeders Classic excepted, I love Preakness Day, though Derby Day and Belmont Day are also fun.

I really like the Dubai World Cup day, but I'd put it a close 3rd to B/C Saturday and Derby day. That being said, I don't think anything quite matches the anticipation/excitement of Belmont Day with a Triple Crown on the line...

Speaking of brown jugs, I was going to mention the bikini race @ Hollywood but rob beat me to it.

Breeders Cup is my favorite day of racing/gambling.

Derby day is my favorite day period.

Preakness is the most frustrating day with 16 races and half of them filled with 5yo nx1.

Used to be Breeders' Cup day, but the NTRA has sucked all the fun out of it for me what with the 85 different races and synthetic tracks.

1. Derby Day
2. Belmont Day
3. Preakness Day
4. Saratoga Opening Day
5. Met Mile Day

JCGC Day, you are at a huge beautiful racetrack, there are several graded stakes within a top quality card and there is no one at the racetrack or windows, no trouble getting in or out of the track.
