What race do you think you've watched the most? Its fun to go on youtube and watch great races. Sometimes I will sit on the computer for hours and watch awesome races.
For me its a tossup between the 98 Belmont and the 2009 BCC.. I just can't get enough of those races.
Real Quiet looks like he's home free, and we all know about last years BCC.. Great race calls too.

I have seen the stretch run of last years BC Classic more than any race ever, and not by choice.

Secretariat's Belmont.
I wish I would have been alive to see it.
It is mind blowing even on a small portion of the computer screen. I can't imagine on a decent sized tv, much less live.

I didn't get to see much down the lane........not on TV. My Dad was jumping up and down and yelling at the TV. I was thirteen and really didn't get it. :lol:

Smarty's Belmont

It took me a few months after Smarty's loss in the Belmont to watch a replay of it. That one was painful...unless you were a Birdstone lover.

Races that I didn't choose to watch but have seen the most: Big Red's Belmont.
Race that I pull up myself and have watched the most: All-time: Big Red's Preakness. More current, but catching up fast: Empire Maker's Belmont (my strongest opinion (one way exacta with Ten Most Wanted), and my largest single wager to date.

"But there is cause for Concern"
Helps me relax when the shit flies.
Turns out it's true.
No cause for 'concern' when you're still game. :ThmbUp:

Secretariat's Belmont & Preakness (I use the mouse to replay his move on the backstretch over & over and still choke up seeing the power of him)...Zenyatta's BC Classic, Tiznow's 'win for America' Classic, Personal Ensign's Distaff Classic.

Cesario's American Oaks
Hey, good one...I was lucky enough to be standing on the outside rail on the turf course finish line for that race. I watched Cesario train and school that week, and I still have never seen a horse that impressed me like she did.
My videos are the 1992 and 1993 BC Mile of Lure, "look at this, he destroyed the track record!" Durkin in 1992. and in 1993 "and Mike Smith is pumped up, and why not, he does it again with Lure." Great stuff when Durkin was at his peak.

Broad Brush was one of my all time favorite horses. Do you remember Dicky Small used to take him for afternoon drives in the horse van? He said Broad Brush used to get bored being in the stall all day and loved going for afternoon drives. True story. How cool is Small for doing it..

He was my favorite, and I went to see him a few times. Pretty high strung!

How about the race he ran in the Pennsylvania Derby at Philly Park? He brought new meaning to the phrase "visiting the concession stand"....and still won!..amazing

I loved Lure, just loved those two races.
My most viewed would have to be Secretariat's Belmont - which I saw at the time but still can barely believe it - and the Personal Ensign/Winning Colors BC Distaff, which I saw in person. Third would be Smarty Jones KD - was a happy memory being there with my dad before he got sick, and it was the last trifecta we had in person. Those three races have special personal memories for me, along with loving the races/winners themselves.

I honestly think the race I've watched more times than any other is that ridiculous Test Stakes from 2002 featuring You and Carson Hollow. That race, and everything about it, including Durkin's call, was so great it was just sick!
I don't how to imbed a video, but here's the link, just in case anybody needs reminding....which I doubt! ;)

Secretariat's Belmont win. That was amazing. I get goosebumps when I hear Chic Anderson say "he is moving like a tremendous machine." What an awesome call.
