My personal favorite was Sunday Silence over Easy Goer in the Preakness. Tactics, brilliance, and a thrilling stretch run.
Next best was Cigar's win in Dubai. I thought Soul of the Matter was going to go by him, but nooooooo. --Dunbar

1984 at Fairplex Park a little maiden allowance first time starter named "Paba". She was a 2yo that drew the 1 hole and went wire to wire with Kenny Black aboard. That was the first race horse we ever owned and our first starter. She payed $17.20

My most special race was the last race on the Turfway card on Sept 25th 1996. That was the last race I ever got to see with my father. He passed away the very next day.

1978 Marlboro Cup: The elder statesman Seattle Slew put the young phenomenon Affirmed in his place.
Fittingly, the old warrior Forego was paraded for the crowd before he officially retired that day.

It was Dec 7th 2002 and it was the first time I went to the track since I turned 21. I had always went with my father but this was the first I went alone. It was Great State Challenge Day at Sam Houston Race Park and did not score a single ticket but I had my eye on the #4 horse in the last race at Hollywood Park. I placed a $100 win bet on this 5-1 morning line horse and left before the card had finished. It was my largest bet to date and I could not wait to go home to check the results cause I was too excited to watch it there. With few miles to reach home I checked my ticket and kissed it for goodluck. On inspecting the ticket I noticed the bet was for the 8th race and not the 9th race as I intended. I was too far from the track to change the ticket but I checked the program to see if the #4 horse had any chance to win the 8th race. He was 30-1 M/L and I was ticked off at myself for not checking my ticket right after I placed it. The 8th race was the Vernon O. Underwood stakes and it developed to be a 4 horse speed duel that collapsed and my 4 horse wins it at 52-1 and I screamed my head off when I fould out that I won $5280. The horse was named DEBONAIR JOE. I was so happy that this horse came back this year to win two races at Del Mar.
