Best 2 year old ever POLL!!!

[Thunder Gulch]

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

I'll be the guy who brings up Secretariat... how could you question him in any way?

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.!

I agree Arazi needs to be on the list...who can forget that move he made iin the BC...

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.

i would like for you to explain to me how favorite trick is "hands down" better than Colin. Colin went undefeated as a 2yo with 11 stakes wins. my guess is that you know absolutley nothing about Colin so i would suggest using caution before declaring anyone hands down the best.
your later claim that favorite trick's record will never be matched is equally useless, considering he did not match colin's accomplishments. the thread asked for best 2yo EVER.....not best 2yo in the last 5 minutes. get some historical perspective son.
