Default Your favorite Breeders' Cup race(s)

Post links if you can find them on youtube or vimeo!

I'm starting the thread, so I'll go with my favorite (an obvious one, I know)- Cigar's 1995 Classic.

I never tire of hearing Durkin's call of this race.

All of the 2010 races since it's the only one I've been to live. Absolute blast was had despite the chilly weather.

That P3 with the Mile, Dirt Mile and Juvie. Think it paid like $175 for 50 cents. Singled Goldikova, went Uncle Mo, Stay Thirsty and Boys at Tosconova, then Morning Line, Vineyard Haven and the husband liked the name "Dakota Phone" so why not? Paid for a night in the hotel with that.

I remember playing a $20 hunch bet on some horse named "Wise Dan" in the Sprint because the bossman's name was Dan. Lost money on that nag.

Of course the Classic was one for the ages. Remember my boss throwing his huge bridgejumper bet on Zenyatta on the ground before they even hit the far turn and she was loping along. "Stupid slow bitch". Then he was searching for it at the wire, haha.

I'll play, but it's my least favorite moment. Still cant believe I got nailed at the wire by that rat.

Oh lord. As soon as I clicked this link my heart sank. Oh, Breeders Cup. You are my favorite day after Belmont Stakes day, but you break my heart in so many places so very often.

I was on the rail at the 1/8th pole and remember being totally in awe of her turn of foot.
