04 Derby and Secretariat's Belmont......I've told this story on here before, but one of my favorite memories with my Dad was the day Big Red won the triple crown....I actually didn't see the race because I had a little league game. My Dad was asst coach and dropped me off at the field and then went back home to watch the Belmont. He got to the game just as we were coming to bat in the first inning....I hit lead off and got on, stole 2nd, kid gets a hit and as I'm rounding 3rd, my Dad was coaching 3rd and he hits me on the butt and yells out Secretariat by 30 and I scored standing up....seems like yesterday.....

Secretariat's triple crown races. Big Red will always be "Super Horse" to me!
#2- Afleet Alex's Preakness and Belmont. Alex's Preakness is second to Big Red's Belmont for amazing to watch.

This one still brings me chills...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPl407d-xYQ I apologize to the Sunday Silence fans on here... Sunday was a very nice horse, but I always believed that Easy Goer was the better of the two, and it is because of Easy Goer that I am a fan of racing. What a great rivalry those two had!

Quote:
 Sunday Silence was a lot more more than just a "very nice horse." He had all the talent of your boy.......but he also had the heart which Easy Goer never did. I'm not one of those people that talks about "heart" or a horse's "will-to-win" very often, but Sunday is the exception. He had it all. Then to top it all off.......he kicked Easy Goer's ass in the breeding shed too. Sunday Silence was and remains, in my opinion, the best 3yo colt since 1979.

My favorite race that I saw in person was the 1987 Haskell Invitational when Bet Twice beat Alysheba and Lost Code. It was the race that put the Haskell on the map.
Favorite race I saw on TV was the 1988 Breeders Cup Distaff watching Personal Ensign retire undefeated after she looked beat at the 1/16th pole. I still can't believe that she got there first.
