1946 Epsom , Shannon carrying 61 .5kg and odds on was still behind the barrier, tapes when the the horses were let go. Missed the kick by a hundred metres and got beaten by a bees dick. Extraordinary chain of events.
In 1974 I was very keen on a lady named Lani and so of course, also took a liking to a horse named Leilani. She was beating everything on the track but was then cruelly weighted in the Melbourne Cup. She ran gallantly like all champion horses with a will to win but got nudged into second by Think Big. Her huge weight was the only thing that stopped her. Still dissapoints me thinking about it. I think Andrew Peacock saw her as a filly in a paddock in NZ but the owner didn't want to sell her so he leased her to Peacock
My favourite horse racing moment was the Mr Hands incident.
I suggest if you havnt heard about it, you google it and watch the documentary.

LOL! I know who Mr. Hands is - you left the DVD in the DVD player in my guest room last time you slept over. The wife found it and hasn't been the same since.
Best win I've seen is my misses riding me to the finish. I was 20/1 after a big night on the turps, but somehow all the skills were used to get me home.

5 races come to mind and that are 5 races won by the great Super Impose, the 2 doubles in 1990 and 1991 when he won both the AJC Epsom and Doncaster double then 1992 as a 8yr old won the Cox Plate.

A big night on Turps? Jeeezus!!
Yep that Lonhro win was the best. I would also include Might and Powers 1997 Caulfield Cup win by 7 lengths and then his Melbourne Cup win.
