BEST RACE EVER... The Thread.

Tail end of a long trip for me that included my first visit to Saratoga, trudging through pouring rain 3 times, and many failed wagering opportunities. But, she was unbelievable. Made the whole thing easily worth it.

1985 Strub

Precisionist, Greinton and Gate Dancer. All three of them could have won.

Also, Melair slaughtering Southern Halo and Snow Chief in the Silver Screen that same year.

That's the only race I've ever seen where the non favorite got a standing ovation afterwards. It might be the only race in which I've seen the winner get one.

I bet Munnings in that race, SMH.

You mean the race where Touch Gold was much the best?
