For me, it was the Rock of Gibraltor ("THE ROCK") in the '02 BC Mile. The horse was undefeated that year and he was a Euro. 'Nuff said. I remember he ran that whole race at the back of the pack... like he was really sluggish, and then he came with a huge run, but it wasn't quite enough... That one still makes me scratch my head...

His BC ride that year had to be one of the worst rides I've ever seen. Didn't a horse break down in that race forcing him to swerve too? He was my lock that year also. I should have quit playing after he lost. Couldn't cash anything that year.
