The Finish of the 1999 Whitney (gr. I) at Saratoga

As Victory Gallop and Behrens charged down the stretch in tandem, Victory Gallop gained a narrow advantage. Suddenly, he lost momentum as he changed leads just a few strides away from the finish line and Behrens began edging his way back. It was a photo finish that took several minutes to determine, but in the end, Victory Gallop had won by the narrowest of margins.
