I'm glad to see you say that. I found just about every one of Phalaris's posts at ESPN to be interesting and well-written. Even when being provocative, she was able to put forth her ideas logically, without raising the volume level of a discussion. I hope she posts here more often.

Favorite Trick showed that the horse makes the pedigree. Not the pedigree makes the horse. Unlike Big Red, this horse was small, and a speed ball. Had to have more guts to keep the ball rolling. Only Native Dancer had a better record winning 9 of 9 as a juvenile . Since they can never compete, who knows who is better.

Records are only records. Even though Trick amazed many, he was no Big red

If you have a list that doesn't have Native Dancer in the top 2 of all time great 2 year olds then you need to familiarize your self with the Grey Ghost.

I said top 2 because he may not have been the best but he certainly shouldn't be worse than 2nd.
