If one wants to go on a single closing performance, I would have to go with Just James' run in the Coral Eurobet Sprint Handicap on 25May2002 at Newmarket over the straight 6f. To quote the Racing Post chart:

A fiercely competitive event, and an astonishing win by JUST JAMES, who was detached from the pack with a couple of furlongs to go and seemingly an also-ran. He found a tremendous burst down the middle of the track in the final furlong - having been switched from the far rails - to get up in the final strides as several of those who tried to stay with the strong pace hit the wall.

This horse looked totally beaten with the finish in sight and just ran right by the 19 other horses in the field. He went on to win the G3 Jersey S at Royal Ascot two starts later.
