I really enjoyed that race personally. If he's basing his list off what he's witnessed, than I can agree with that pick.

I though Artax's BC Sprint was awesome, Point Given's Belmont..

I wasn't knocking the race at all.. It's a favorite of mine.. I might have enjoyed it a little more had Behrens won it though.

There have been so many races at the Spa that I have enjoyed.

A few summers ago.. the summer of the 2 year olds, there were some awesome maiden races (Indian Blessing and Miamonades in particular) that were a joy to watch.

DrugS brought up Harmony Lodge, and a few of her wins at Toga were awesome to me.

Even Bernardini's Jim Dandy was spectacular in my eyes.. I was standing right on the rail and the jockey completely still and Bernardini was just a beautiful runner.

I really wish I would have been there for Rachels Woodward.. I felt the energy just watching it on tv..
