I know it's a hard question, so just tell me the first that comes to mind and why.

Easiest question anyone could ask me. Personal Ensign's BC win in 1988 at CD when she ran down Winning Colors to retire undefeated.

well, since oracle picked that one....

genuine risks derby. no doubt, that was what truly hooked me! slew was just ahead of my time, altho i vaguely remember all the slew crew brouhaha...and i liked alydar over affirmed. the bids trainer put me off him, and i liked general assembly....seems i was suffering from seconditis those couple years.

but then there she was, a beautiful blaze-faced fiery chestnut filly, but she was tough as the boys. my first derby winner. she reminded me of....well, me! a tomboy!! lol i was 13, and wanted so badly to kick angel corderos butt after the preakness that year!!
