That's one of my favorites. Could not believe how close it was and the TV coverage of the stretch run was great. One of the best races I have seen.

That is drawing a distinction between "best race" and "the best individual performance put in by any horse" which I would say is obviously Secretariat's Belmont in 1973. There's a reason that Beyer said his speed rating was 139 - may never be topped.
