You know, that 1997 Belmont was just one wacky race. Who makes a move like that with 6f left in a 12f race?

For me it was when Louis Quortez won the Preakness. It was awesome. Pat Day got booted off his mount and then picked a mount up on LQ and took the field wire to wire.

Obviously 89 and 97...

But I'll add 95 too, It was nice seeing Timber Country finally fullfill the promise he showed at 2...

Here's a good video.. all the stretch runs of the Preakness from 89 to 06...

All three races were exciting moments in Horse Racing...but I give an edge to the Silver Charm race.

89 of course. 97 was a tremendous finish.

the last 4 have all been stirring emotional races for various reasons.

gotta go with the sunday silence/easy goer preakness. two fantastic horses gutting it out, no one giving an inch, matching strides in perfect unison. that was a hell of a race.
worst? (other than last year) would be when codex and cordero carried genuine risk practically into the stands...
