I have a feeling Calzone Lord will be voting for the Stromboli race.

Any time I think of great races at the Spa, the 2002 Test definitely comes to mind.

The '62 Travers was before my time but that would get my vote. It is definitely a race worth watching.

I imagine most on here have seen it but for those who haven't:

Thanks for posting.
Who was the horse & jockey that switched to the outside and almost wiped out a horse just inside the 3/16's pole?
Would have loved to see the head on there.

I think the '88 Travers at the very least needs to be on the list:

But if she had, she probably would have been capable of preventing Persistently from becoming a Grade I winner.
