Default What is Your Favorite Day of Racing?

Mine would be the Derby by a nose over JCGC/Meadowlands day and night.

You've been hanging out with me too much!!! Degenerate level 11 alert!


As stated in the other thread it's the Preakness by a nose over the Oaks & Derby. The Oaks is actually my preference in attendance over the Derby, and I think a lot of people would agree with me there. 4th and 5th, ANY day at Saratoga followed by ANY day at Del Mar.

BC Saturday
Derby
Arlington Million Day
Any day at Saratoga
Any day at GP when it's snowing back home
Any Friday at Arlington Party in the Park when it's over 80 out and we get a sudden rainfall. Sun dresses look better wet.

A winning one.


I'd have to say Breeder's Cup, although I'm sure many would vehemently disagree. (I'm not saying I agree with the path some take to the BC)

That is an honor!

I once won a stake at Saratoga and the honorable Elliot Spitzer presented.

Any day that I'm present for up close and personal viewing is a great day for enjoying the sport.


Any day with a nice card of mixed allowance races, a maiden race or two, and some pricier claiming races is a great and personal favorite day for wagering.

Of course I always love the Big Days with the large pools when I can make a solid and reasonable bet and truly love watching and honoring the winner and connections whether I win my bet or not. Really.
