to me two things can make a great effort, either a display of brilliance so dominating or a race in which a horse overcomes when the odds where stacked against them winning.
Couple that stand out to me have been mentioned, Ghostzappers Vosburough, Left Banks Whitney, Candy Rides Pacific Classic, Azeri's BC Distaff, Afleet Alex's Preakness. IF I had to pick on of Zenyatta's races it would be the race she seems most criticized for because who she beat, the Clement Hirsch last year because at the top of the stretch 99/100 horses lose that race. IF I had to pick any of RA's races it would be the Mother Goose, I thought it was her most dominating effort. The Preakness was solid, so was the Haskel.

Smarty Jones in the Preakness was one of those "wow" races. You didn't need to check the clock to know how good he was that day.

More than a few runnings of the Preakness have been impressive. Bernadini and Funny Cide as well.

Since I love closers, I've got to add Street Sense in the 2007 Kentucky Derby, and Mine That Bird in the 2009 Kentucky Derby.
And then there's Kip Deville's 2007 BC Mile. I loved that horse. Last edited by OldDog : 07-06-2010 at 03:51 PM.
