Better Talk Now winning the BC Turf, and Pleasantly Perfect winning the BC Classic...

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.

Wow, some really great races and calls here. I sometimes think the race can make the call. Sure, the opposite can happen, but when you are talking about professionals -- like them or not -- that passion for a truly incredible, amazing race just comes through.

The Test -- Carson Hollow and You! My friend owned Carson Hollow and that race was an absolute classic. It was one of the most exciting races I have ever seen -- and having a friend who had a horse in the race, and a jockey who I know well, and everything going on in and around the race just added to electricity.

Personal Ensign winning the BC! Undefeated, last start of her career and running with screws in her hock -- WOW!!! You just can't help but think she is never going to get there.

Thanks for all the great posts.
