What was your favourite Festival race ever ?

From a dough point of view - Istabraq's second CH. In the process of moving to NI I met a friendly bank manager on the train to Belfast. The train was delayed in Newry due to a bomb scare so they plied us with free drink for two hours. Finagled a loan for a deposit to buy a house off the bank manager and had it all on Istabraq ante post at evens. I soiled my pants when he stumbled at he top of the hill. Was able to buy a bigger house.

For pure optics Rooster Booster carting Richard Johnson down the hill pulling a train is hard to forget....
