Most exciting races of 2009?

My top 5:

5) Quality Road in the Florida Derby
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)
1) Zenyatta in the Classic

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...
