About this ebook
Some of horse racing’s most respected authorities looked at feats of greatness, world records, legendary rivalries, and innovations to rank the sport’s top 100 moments. They weighed individual accomplishments against industry initiatives, innovations against lucky breaks to come up with the definitive list.
They pondered Secretariat’s 31-length Belmont Stakes victory, Smarty Jones’ elusive Triple Crown, the creation of the Breeders’ Cup, and advancements in equine surgery. Racing’s top 100 list will generate debate for years to come, just as did the ranking of Man o’ War over Secretariat as Horse of the Century. Richly illustrated with historic and modern photos, Horse Racing’s Top 100 Moments also contains comprehensive lists of leading earners, fastest times, highest prices, and most races won.
Some of the Top 100 Moments:
• Seabiscuit vs. War Admiral in the 1938 Pimlico Special
• Secretariat's 31-length Belmont Stakes win
• Affirmed and Alydar's 1978 Belmont duel
• Matt J. Winn saves Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby
• Man o' War is upset by Upset for his only loss
• Cigar wins the inaugural Dubai World Cup
• Calumet Farm files for bankruptcy
• Afleet Alex wins the 2005 Preakness after nearly going down
• Citation becomes the first horse to earn a million dollars
• The Breeders' Cup, racing's championship day, is first run in 1984 at Hollywood Park
