Sunday Silence vs. Easy Goer is the one that gets me. There are still those that say EG was better dispite the 3-1 score. I do admit that going into the Classic, I thought that EG has maybe turned the tide and was ready to even the score and if they had finished 2-2, I would have given EG the edge. But, despite the margin only being a neck in the Classic, Sunday Silence was a clear winner of that race to me. I never thought he was in danger; McCarron never went to the stick on him. If they had run at Belmont 10 times, EG might have held a 7-3 or 8-2 edge. That track suited him perfect. But versatility has to count for something. Sunday Silence was the better horse.

Of course, neither of them was the best 3yo of that year.

lol, be nice.

actually, i went to school in the bay area and king glorious was probably my favorite horse from that crop. his 20 length win in the mud in 108 was one of the most completely awesome performances i've ever seen!
