1) Tampa Bay Derby
2) Kentucky Derby
3) Florida Derby
4) Grand National
5) Summit of Speed

Breeders Cup Saturday used to be high on the list but their obsession with Santa Anita has dimmed my excitement. A big part of my enjoyment of the BC was the changing of the venues.

Thanks for posting everyone!
What I've learned so far is:

1) We all pretty much love Breeders Cup (x viscount26)
2) We all pretty much don't love Preakness (x me and Tanner12oz)
3) We all must get to the Pooncarie Cup! (thanks Magic Idol)
