The one that will be forever etched in my mind was the '82 Jockey Club Gold Cup with the breakdown of Timely Writer.
I wasn't a big fan of racing yet, but several of my classmates were and we watched the race at senior party.
I was sick to my stomach after his breakdown...it was the first time I ever saw an incident like that.
You remember things like that, good or bad.

Exogenous breaking down before even setting foot on the track in the 2001 BC at Belmont.

And then the ill-fated Landseer on the turf.

Gruesome day.

My horse, Sage Chatter, in 1983, shattering his sesamoid and going down on the turn.
I was in the 6 furlong chute on the pony horse and could not get there fast enough. We've lost horses over the years of course, but that one hit me the hardest. You never completely get over it.
