No doubt to me it has to be........ Ill Have Another in the Preakness.

Snatched victory from defeat and kept the dream of a Triple Crown alive for a few weeks. Most exciting thing in racing and to me in sports is the build up of a possible Triple Crown winner, the long drought has only added to the moment.
