Interestingly - Awesome Again won the '98 BC Classic at Churchill Downs - and Macho Uno won the '00 BC Juvie at Churchill Downs. I believe a strong case could be made for both races having the deepest field in terms of quality in the history of those two individual races.

I think the '98 Classic field was the best collection of horses I've ever seen in the Classic. The '00 Juvenile had excellent horses like Macho Uno, Point Given, and Street Cry as well as many very precocious sprinter types like City Zip and Flame Thrower to name a few. Somehow A. P. Valentine was the favorite. Many of the Juvie fields in recent years have been terrible.

The '98 Classic was my personal favorite, and I liked the 2004 field a lot, but the 1988 group might have something to say about it being 'best'. An entry of Seeking the Gold and Personal Flag was only the FOURTH choice in wagering... wow.
