With the Risen Star coming up ... rate the top 3 you remember.
Here's a quote from a Beyer column that he might now regret after Pyro's 90 Beyer Risen Star win.

Fans who missed it can see the race at YouTube.com by searching for "2008 Risen Star Stakes." I have been watching and covering prep races for the Kentucky Derby for four decades, and I would rank this among the most impressive ever -- along with Honest Pleasure's 1976 Flamingo Stakes and Spend a Buck's 1985 Garden State Stakes. The stretch run might be the most eye-catching since Silky Sullivan himself, who made up nearly 30 lengths in the 1958 Santa Anita Derby.
