Favourite race of all time

10 years 4 months ago - 10 years 4 months ago

Thought after the thread about Secretariat being the greatest of all time, I'll start one on your favourite race.

Mine is Mine That Bird in the 2009 Kentucky Derby. Coming from way behind to demolish all. Super ride:

Two Cities under James Maree coming from nowhere to win the Bull Brand International at Scottsville beating Bahadur and Tudor Blue if my memory serves me correctly

Mine would be the Computaform Sprint in 2009 with Private Jet, Rebel King and Warm White Night all hitting the line virtually as one. One of the best finish I can remember by 3 top horses.

Slip Anchor winning the English Derby sometime in the mid 80's. He galloped his field off their feet from the start and never let up. One of the first races shown live by BopTv.

Any horse I have ever had a share in winning a race has to be top of the pops.
Breathless winning her maiden when we took a bus from Pretoria with all our family and friends.

Mill Reef, Arkle, Kauto Star ( live on Boxing Day) sure many more but just a starter
