Bid or Ruffian...stack of track records all over the place. Raise a Native would have to be in the discussion.

I think Arazi might be in the discussion. Has any other colt been champion 2yo in both Europe and North America?
He won three G1 races in Europe that year (along with a G2 & and a G3) and then came over here and ran the most impressive BC Juvy race ever. I don't know if he is #1, but he was a good one.

I would consider Grand Canyon's win in the '89 Hollywood Futurity, the best singular performance by a 2-year-old.

I saw a race of Bold Forbes on tape that was pretty stunning as well.

Johannesburg was a champ on both sides as well, I believe. Azari was better. His Juvenile win was unreal.!

To actually have a prominent 2 yr old actually running 8 races only 10 years ago I think alone puts Favorite Trick on this list...talk about a throwback!!!!

He was a superb, superb 2 year old...end of story.

favorite trick hands down... this is amazing some of you are saying dont name him, as a 2 yr old he peeked and he beats any of these other horses that are being named, just take a good look at Ironhorse's post.
