World’s Biggest races?

Being from the UK if I was asked what are the World’s biggest races it would always be The Derby, Grand National and the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Where do you rank the top races?

The Arc without a doubt for Quality.. the whole meeting is packed with the best! I’ve experienced it and it’s amazing for a true racing fan, no glitzy half naked woman and trashy atttractions, just pure racing, trying to get over this year.

For the Crowd, Kentucky Derby and Melbourne Cup.

The Epsom Derby is also a great just being what it is...

In SA, has to be the Queens Plate for the racing man but the July is always great with all the controversy.

Another good one is the Irish Champion Stakes, always a quality field of horses and who will ever forget Galileo and Fantastic Light fighting it out in their day!!!

One of the great racing duels I have seen...Yard-Arm and Wolf Whistle also worth a mention...
