Best Race You've Seen In Person

Absolutely the best race I ever saw was the first race I attended:
1989 Preakness Sunday Silence and Easy Goer. Locked in stride down the entire stretch! What a thrilling race! I've been hooked by this sport ever since.

I would have loved to have seen that!

2005 Preakness: Afleet Alex

2001 Kentucky Derby: Monarchos

2001 Belmont: Point Given

really don't head to the track unless it's a really big day, no point really. Hate the crowds and 2 second trips to the fridge has beat out waiting in line 10+ min. and missing the post for a hot dog

That was the first race you ever attended!! Wow!! As you can tell by longtime Avatar and signature I am a pretty big fan of that race (and particularly my all-time favorite horse Sunday Silence).
That was the race that got me hooked on the sport too.....but I wasn't fortunate enough to see it live.
