How can anyone forget the BC Mile where Domedriver won at 25-1, Rock Of Gibralter finishing second, and Landseer breaking down. The good, the bad and the ugly all in one...

BTW I bet DD that day and was obviously happy, but not happy when you saw Prado's interview of Landseer after the race.

Agreed, Domedriver splitting hoprses at 25-1, and the Rock making a furious charge form dead last

That was a fcuking range of emotions, I was yelling one moment that I caught a flyer and the next moment you couldn't help yourself from feeling like crap, Prado was genuinely sincere about the loss of Landseer. A range of emotions that I doubt I will ever feel again after a race.

I got published in the NY Daily News because I wrote to complain about the picture of Landseer splashed across the coverage with his leg literally hanging off on the horse.

Good for you to bring that up, that was ridiculous, I don't know if anyone noticed but I caught Tabor I think smiling after that race on the TV. I'm not sure what was said but that really peed me off, I know the guy had Hawk Wing and High Chaparral in the same yr but that was too cold for words.

A lot of papers had that same picture. Tasteless.

1998 Classic was one of the most memorable finishes in breeders cup history.

Great field:

Awesome Again, Swain, Skip Away, Silver Charm, Coronados Quest, Victory Gallop.

I hear a lot about the 1998 Classic being the best field but I thought 1988's was better with Alysheba, Seeking the Gold, Forty Niner, Cryptoclearance, Waquoit, Personal Flag, and Cutlass Reality.

Loved being there in 1998, but that list of winners from 1988 is unbeatable.

TVG just got done showing almost all of the BC Classics since 1986. That 1998 BC Classic field was loaded. Touch Gold and Gentlemen (supplemented for $800K by R.D. Hubbard and eased in the stretch) were also in the field.

The victory by Da Hoss in the Mile that year was special (second race back since his previous BC Mile win two years prior).

most memorable for me, hands down. I touted Domedriver for weeks going into that race, had w/p and the exacta a couple times, never forget the way Domedriver split horses to get home, and how fast the rock was closing as well

the one that will live with me until the day i die, Arcangues in 1993. My first BC and i was a HUGE Bertrando fan, tough to watch
