What was the best breeders cup?

[CSC]

This is off the top of my head but among those that contested the BC Turf in 1996 were:

Pilsudski
Singspiel
Swain
Awad
Windsharp
Chief Bearheart
Diplomatic Jet
Marlin

and not to forget the one and only Rick's Natural Star.

Yeah that brought back some fond memories, there was also some lunacy in the betting, Rick's Natural Star actually went off lower than Marlin did...

Tough to pick a favorite, but this particular Classic ranks right up there in my heart. My avatar won.

I so badly wanted to see Skip Away repeat that year.

the 1985 classic was indeed a classic.......that was a solid field, gate dancer was one inlucky horse. you cannot run any better and not win.

[KirisClown]

93,94,95 and 96 were my favorites...


1997 probably the least favorite..

Freefourinternet's '04 BC Classic performance was very reminiscent of that of RNS in 1996.

With ATR broadcasting "the best of" this morning, and the first show being the post-2009 Breeders' Cup show . . . I'm transported back in time and reminded of just how damned excited I was in the wake of Zenyatta's victory. No matter what's happened since, anyone who loves the sport has to have been on a high after that Saturday.
