4) Rachel Alexandra in the Woodward
3) Sea The Stars in the Arc
2) Golidkova in the Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville (this was a devastating performance)

The BC Sprint and BC Juvenile from a pure excitement standpoint.

Sadly I went down in both in dramatic fashion. Piscitelli ran his lil eyeballs out for me at 50-1 in the Juv and I missed out when Ajtebi came rolling on Vale Of York. Great finish in that race. If Vale doesnt hit the board its a NICE hit for me.

I also had Cost Of Freedom in the sprint and he just couldnt hang in there. Exciting finish there as well.

I had forgotten about IWR. Must have been very exciting if you had money on him in the that race.

I was at the 2009 Wood Memorial near the finish line (Aqueduct) when - I Want Revenge, overcame a bad start, and traffic problems to win in an exciting finish...
