What is your fav. recent race???

[IrishofNDMan]

Mine would have to be the Florida Derby back on April 1st of 06. What a battle between Barbaro and Sharp Humor down the stretch, a really exciting race.

Any race Discreet Cat is in.

That was a great race. Maybe my favorite as well.

[POINTGIVEN1985]

....." but gary stevens has something left with commentator" GREAT CALL

[Sightseek]

Any race with Saint Liam, even in that losing performance against Commentator. I nearly did cartwheels after the classic.

I know three of my all-time favorite races to watch were run at Belmont Park in 2003.

They being Ghostzapper's 3yo debut in an alw race and the TVG feed of his '03 Vosbugh win. Artie Schiller's maiden win in a turf sprint was also a race I love to watch.

Artie's maiden win should be in a time capsule.

I was at Belmont Park for all 3, and I wasn't going to respond because GZ's 3YO debut was possibly my personal favorite of the last 5 years and most people haven't seen it so they wouldn't be able to understand. I still can't find a video of it anywhere, it was sick.

Artie Schiller happens to be my personal favorite grass horse of all time, and the maiden race was a good share of that reason.

This years Just A Game Handicap when Pommes Frites look like
she had the race won just when Gorella put in an explosive late
run to get up in the final strides to nip Pommes Frites.

[POINTGIVEN1985]

another great race was a few years back now the test it was you and carson hollow i think im going to go back now and watch it, but if i recall one of them was in real tight on the rail for the length of the stretch

[Sightseek]

BTW & DrugS hate me enough already but....tops this year was Jazil's Belmont.

I don't know if you could classify it as 'recent' but Sightseek's retirement race was special to me as well.

[POINTGIVEN1985]

pine island winning the alabama was nice for me, because i had the exacta 25times with teammate, it was one of my bigger hits ever i think teammate was 17-1 or something long the exacta was around 80

[KirisClown]

I know most people think poorly of Smuggler, but it was very fullfilling seeing her win the Mother Goose and CCA Oaks...

Azeri -vs- Sightseek in the 2004 Go For Wand a few years ago was pretty good too...

Well, you are the only one I know who had him on top, without any disclaimers "needs a hot pace", etc.

It must be good to be a goo-goo

I'll have you know those were capping skills that landed me with the winning ticket that day!


Intercontinental in the F/M Turf...I had that one too tough guy! Loved that mare as well.

[Linny]

Bellamy Road's Wood. Spooky Mulder's Inner dirt win in November. Discreet Cat's allowance win in Aug. Most of Gorella's races.

[hockey2315]

Ghost Zapper vs. St. Liam in the Wood
Discreet Cat's Cigar Mile
This year's derby and BC classic

[ManilaRose]

Ouija Board '06 F & M Turf and Gorella in the Just A Game.

On a lighter side, I didn't see this in person but I'm sure when Zippy Chippy raced the lead-off hitter of the AAA Baseball Columbus Clippers it was very entertaining.
