Secretariat's triple crown races. Big Red will always be "Super Horse" to me!
#2- Afleet Alex's Preakness and Belmont. Alex's Preakness is second to Big Red's Belmont for amazing to watch.

The race that got me into it as a kid:

He's probably my favorite horse of all time...

I apologize to the Sunday Silence fans on here... Sunday was a very nice horse, but I always believed that Easy Goer was the better of the two, and it is because of Easy Goer that I am a fan of racing.

What a great rivalry those two had!

No need to apologize to us. We can always fall back on that HOY award and the fact that Sunday beat your boy three out of the four times they faced. Sunday Silence was a lot more more than just a "very nice horse."
He had all the talent of your boy.......but he also had the heart which Easy Goer never did.
I'm not one of those people that talks about "heart" or a horse's "will-to-win" very often, but Sunday is the exception. He had it all.
Then to top it all off.......he kicked Easy Goer's ass in the breeding shed too.
Sunday Silence was and remains, in my opinion, the best 3yo colt since 1979.

My favorite race that I saw in person was the 1987 Haskell Invitational when Bet Twice beat Alysheba and Lost Code. It was the race that put the Haskell on the map.

Favorite race I saw on TV was the 1988 Breeders Cup Distaff
watching Personal Ensign retire undefeated after she looked beat at the 1/16th pole. I still can't believe that she got there first.
