The ultimate would be to stay there and travel the country and finish the trip by attending both finals of the Australian Open.

The Arc.

As far as great racing days go?

Dubai World Cup and BC Day(s) AND Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Race day.

Totally agree -

Id vote Arc 1, Kentucky Derby 2 and Melbourne Cup (which is topping my list of races to go now!) 3

Now if you were to throw the Cheltenham Gold Cup in there

I was wondering about that... if the jumps were included where they'd rate...

You need to get yourself to Melbourne, young man.

i think it used to be the jockey gold cup... but i voted for the BC classic. Dubai is the biggest truly international race. i don't know, its a biased question for dirt fans because we are the only ones that have those races.
