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.

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.

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.

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

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

I disagree, Invasor is a knock out type of fighting horse. He didn't win a lot but he wasn't going to lose either.

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.

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.
