Moment of the Year

[my miss storm cat]

Completely agree with Danzig and with Andy.

If a moment like CC's owner having a fit and the cameras staying on him instead of Tonalists connections after the Belmont isn't worthy (nor is the breaking of the PETA story which, I'm sorry but - agree or not - was pretty damned big) then I would go for the lump in the throat, special moment that defines racing which, for me, is this one...

Doesn't have to be the BC, doesn't have to be a G1. A tough older horse pulling through and coming back and winning? That says it all about the sport I love.
