Yeah I like this thread too. For me it is three and in no order:

1) Deep Impact - That last race was awesome. (although I dont think he can beat the Euro's).

2) Barbaro - the Derby win was unreal.

3) Gorella - not her last race, but the one at Belmont when she ran down the lone speed.

Alright I'll throw my had in the ring...Round Pond outdueling Happy Ticket at Oaklawn this winter sticks in my mind. The way she dug in at the end.

As far as the Pimlico Special, I'm not sure Harlington apparently got hurt again in that race hasn't worked since. But Invasor has shown his merit since, but I wasn't a believer after that one.

I just like the way he fought back and showed heart after being pass. Was pretty much in 2nd the whole race, then 4th when passed at the top of the stretch...then fight all the way back to win the race. I like horses with that kinda heart.
