Your favorite race of 2014 (?)

[Easy Goer Otis]

My vote goes to the G1 Santa Anita Sprint Handicap. A Hong Kong horse with a French jockey comes to Arcadia and beats Goldencents and Secret Circle in a thriller.

Quite possibly also the best ride of 2014. Watch Deleuze recognize the 4-wide speed duel develop in the first quarter and he wisely pulls Rich Tapestry back along the rail. He sees Goldencents is 4-wide and accelerating. Waits to top of the stretch and just follows behind him and out sprints him to the wire with a fresher horse.
