Favourite All Time race

Another performance I remember is Sly Flyin's debut as a 2yo he galloped out and lost a heap of ground yet somehow managed to win. This performance made me think he could be something special and to see him go on and become a great 2yo, 3yo and grand circuit horse was something.

I've got two races, they were about 8 days apart and both races were won by the same horse, Christian Cullen's Miracle Mile/Truer Memorial double. Speed over the short course, toughness over the distance. Incredible stuff. I doubt I'll see anything like it again.

I always remember 1997 Inter Dominion finals just a great night of racing Pride of Petite getting them on the line what a race and the next race the pacers final and Our Sir Vancelot winning with Rainbow Knight charging at him on the line. But its hard to narrow them down I loved the Westburn Grant, Fanco Ice and Franco Tiger era listening to them battle it out in the big races on the radio,watching the Miricle Miles on the ABC TV and Sports World replays on sundy morning Oh how things have changed

I know its recent but Id have to say Smoken Up defeating the Great Blacks a fake in the 2010 Miracle mile. phenomenal! In saying that I'm young so don't have a great memory archive of all of the great horses from the past.

Westburn Grant.. Franco Ice.. Franco Tiger..... what an era.. unforgetable..

Yeh Westburn Grant the Ozzy flagship, Franco Ice still one of the most exciting horses to me greatness curtailed by injury.

Im showing my age but I think Pure Steel's victory over Rip Van Winkle in the 1978 A G Hunter Cup is one of the best races I've seen or enjoyed.I think the build up was what made it so good with Rip and Steelo having some good clashes earlier and varied opinions over who might be the best pacer.Vanderkemp when asked about Pure Steels toughness said "put him outside my horse and see how tough he is".So it was to be in this race and with an excellent commentary it will stick in my mind forever.If you havent had the opportunity to watch it do yourself a favour and chase it up.

Poppy's 1982 Kilmore Cup win.

Actually you could put in a number of his wins. A freak who made a lot of horses look second rate but was plagued with problems throughout his career.

Saw many at the Showgrounds in Melbourne as a young fella during a real golden era.

Listened to Mount Edens Miracle Mile as a real young fella and watched the replay a lot of times over the years, He must have lost at least 50 or 60 metres easy at the start of the race, Unbelievable run. The replay is available on You Tube Flashing, Punch in Mount Eden Miracle Mile. This performance has become imprinted in my memory forever.
