When you consider it was Hal Wiggins off of a layoff .. and there is no way anyone could not have the figure significantly faster than Eight Belles 13+ length romp in that race the prior year .. that was just mind blowing stuff.

I think you've basically just seen the very slight and steady progression of a healthy 3yo horse since that race.
I think I'd say the Ky Oaks. Considering it's supposed to be the toughest 3YO restricted filly race of the year, and she won by 20 in hand with a fast time... and she was still with Wiggins.
