TGJB---
If I may offer---Edgar Prado's ride on SARAVA in the 2002 Belmont. Not the fastest horse by any means, Prado saves ground on the inside after breaking from post #12 and accelerates just at the right time to get the jump on MEDAGLIA D'ORO.
I do not think that Prado ever received the recognition that he deserved for this one. The main story was the McPeek losing HARLAN's HOLIDAY angle.
