This is off the top of my head but among those that contested the BC Turf in 1996 were:

Pilsudski
Singspiel
Swain
Awad
Windsharp
Chief Bearheart
Diplomatic Jet
Marlin

and not to forget the one and only Rick's Natural Star.

I so badly wanted to see Skip Away repeat that year.

Freefourinternet's '04 BC Classic performance was very reminiscent of that of RNS in 1996.

With ATR broadcasting "the best of" this morning, and the first show being the post-2009 Breeders' Cup show . . . I'm transported back in time and reminded of just how damned excited I was in the wake of Zenyatta's victory. No matter what's happened since, anyone who loves the sport has to have been on a high after that Saturday.
