I think that "lists" are mostly ridiculous and downright dumb,merely fillers for a quiet day at the office but this is a nice link to some special moments indeed,thanks TJ.

This link really doesn't make me feel any younger. I remember all of them. My memories of the TC go back to HILL GAIL winning the KD in 1952. I don't recall that the Preakness was televised that year.

I'd move #9 and 5 up, add Little Current's, and drop #3.

I remember during Afeet Alex's Preakness, I was for Scrappy T. Before the incident I was yelling GO! GO! WIN! WIN! and then when he almost killed AA I was shouting "not THAT way! Not THAAAAT WAYYYY!"
Scared the hell out of me.
All shouting does is make you lose your voice.

Oh, I know!!!! I was visiting my parents and we were watching the race together. I don't remember exactly what I said at that moment, but if I'd been younger, I suspect I'd have been grounded on the spot. ;)
