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.

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)

![]() Whitney day at the Spa. Lots of people but its not too crowded, great racing. And a day & night in Saratoga cannot be beat.
I've never been to the Derby or Oaks... but while Preakness and Travers are nice.. the crowds are just a little to much to really enjoy. That and I'm always stuck behind a nasty hot Carolina BBQ stand. Belmont Stakes is always a great time... the place is so big even when its slammed its still not too bad (just leaving the damn place sucks)
