The breeders cup has been home to a few great commentaries. Arazi, Cigar, Zenyatta. But one of my favourites was 2013 breeders cup classic.
I suppose it may sway you when you have backed the winner and have been drinking since 6.00pm and the race is on at past midnight. MUCHO.... MACHO.... MAN !!

Desert Orchid's gold cup the crowd noise, "(he is beginning to get up!!!", also makes my hairs stand on end. )

Anyone get any other classics they would like to share?

Great choices but I'd take Sunday Silence's Classic and Dawn Run's Gold Cup.
Will see if I can track them down Mikael and have a listen, cheers

Btw, you say it helps if you backed the winner but I backed Yahoo at 25s in Dessie's Gold Cup. It's still one of my favourite races ever though. There'll never be another Dessie.
Well it has to be stood in a betting shop listening to the extel commentary of the 1967 Foinavon National.
A recent favourite of mine is the 2011 2000 Guineas & the gradual build up in the commentator's voice
"Frankel is already four lengths clear"
"by five or six lengths"
"but at halfway Frankel is almost ten lengths clear!"
"Frankel continues to be in a massive lead!!"
"but at the bushes Frankel is fifteen lengths clear!!!"

"The mare's beginning to get up" takes some beating..
Has to be the Quantitative easing one by Dessie..
The commentary by Richard Hoiles on Long Run's winning Gold Cup. Most of us recall the end of a race for our favourite call but he built the race up to it's dramatic conclusion. A brilliant call and I backed Denman.
Approaching 3 out and it's a Who's Who of Gold Cup History.
Denman and Kauto Star Rolling back the years.

that would be my choice as well. I like how barty is so surprised when he says "but at the bushes Frankel is fifteen lengths clear!!!" , as though he is really saying "wtf is happening"

It is a good one, and perhaps all the more difficult to generate the excitement when there is not a close finish

Totally agree Swardean but it was something that could not be envisaged even though we thought he could be special. (One of my favourites of all time was the "race of the century" but that now seems tame because they only ever show the run into the straight & the battle to the line - there was so much more than that to it at the time).
The Sunday Silence/Easy Goer race I posted earlier is similar, LHF. The Yanks billed that as their 'Race of the Century' too.
Ohhhhhhh but Goldikova is coming home like an express train! Goldikova is just scintalling! Goldikova is something special!!! Goldikova and Olivier peslier win it again!
It's a photo but Lester wins it!

steamship 1324 post is a good call for just a few seconds it looked like we would get the finish all national hunt lovers wanted.
one of mine would be away from horse racing
harry carpenter forgetting about been neutral in the tyson bruno fight.

Shergars Derby, rare commentary by Peter Bromley for BBC Radio 2.

Also loved Holts commentary of Frankels 1st Sussex win over Canford Cliffs as Frankel quickens ''Oh this is a brilliant horse''
