I don't get to many great races live but the last MassCap with Funny Cide, Evening Attire and Offlee Wild in a near blanket finish was my best live race.

That day was the first time I saw live racing. Good race.

#1 would have to be the 1987 Haskell with Bet Twice holding off the oncoming Alysheba with Lost Code another half length back. In winning Bet Twice equaled the Stakes Record of 1:47.

#2 would have to be Rags to Riches winning the Belmont this year. That was an awesome stretch run by both her and Curlin.

#3 would have to be the thrilling stretch duel between Invasor and Sun King in the 2006 Whitney at Saratoga.

#4 2004 Belmont with Smarty Jones & Birdstone. When they hit the top of the Strecth I though I was going to see history being made. Moments later I was kicking my self for not betting on Birdstone. After all "he finished 8th not 18th in the derby."

I guess the best in terms of big performances combined with an exciting finish that I've seen live would have to be the Saint Liam/Commentator Whitney, the Invasor/Sun King Whitney, and the Preakness and Belmont from this year.
