What is your fav. recent race???

[POINTGIVEN1985]

another great race was a few years back now the test it was you and carson hollow i think im going to go back now and watch it, but if i recall one of them was in real tight on the rail for the length of the stretch

BTW & DrugS hate me enough already but....tops this year was Jazil's Belmont.

I don't know if you could classify it as 'recent' but Sightseek's retirement race was special to me as well.

[POINTGIVEN1985]

pine island winning the alabama was nice for me, because i had the exacta 25times with teammate, it was one of my bigger hits ever i think teammate was 17-1 or something long the exacta was around 80

I know most people think poorly of Smuggler, but it was very fullfilling seeing her win the Mother Goose and CCA Oaks...

Azeri -vs- Sightseek in the 2004 Go For Wand a few years ago was pretty good too...

Well, you are the only one I know who had him on top, without any disclaimers "needs a hot pace", etc.

It must be good to be a goo-goo

I'll have you know those were capping skills that landed me with the winning ticket that day!


Intercontinental in the F/M Turf...I had that one too tough guy! Loved that mare as well.

Bellamy Road's Wood. Spooky Mulder's Inner dirt win in November. Discreet Cat's allowance win in Aug. Most of Gorella's races.

Ghost Zapper vs. St. Liam in the Wood
Discreet Cat's Cigar Mile
This year's derby and BC classic

[ManilaRose]

Ouija Board '06 F & M Turf and Gorella in the Just A Game.

On a lighter side, I didn't see this in person but I'm sure when Zippy Chippy raced the lead-off hitter of the AAA Baseball Columbus Clippers it was very entertaining.

[AeWingnut]

Sarava

The 2005 Beverly D was a great race with Angara getting up to win. Angara's allowance score at Keeneland in April of 2005 was terrific as well. I think Kurt Becker said, "And Angara with a breath-taking move to take it."
That it was.

MEGAHERTZ...what a joy to watch!

That was the Rochester Red Wings lead-off hitter.

He lost.

[mark2061mn]

barbaro's three turf races at 2 (well, one was jan 1st of his 3yo year).

Rochester? Really? Are you sure he didn't have a double header and race Columbus' as well? Haha. I'm sure you're right, the only thing I knew for sure was that he lost.

[Cajungator26]

Bellamy Road's win in the Wood and Barbaro's Florida Derby battling with Sharp Humor in the stretch.

[MaTH716]

The 2002 Whitney, when Left Bank matched the track record and managed to hold off Street Cry and Lido Palace. He ran a huge race. Unfortunatley I think that might have been his last race.
