Easy Goer Was Better than Sunday Silence

[FATPIANO]

I became a racing fan in 1978, I saw Seattle Slew, Affirmed and The Bid, after The Bid retired, I was looking for the next great one. In 1988 Easy Goer came along and dominated his competition. He was named Champion 2yr old. I was not a fan, He was not as good as The Bid, That is how I measure Greatness. In The Derby I was rooting for Sunday Silence to beat Easy Goer. Then it was on to Pimlico, and that is when I became a fan of Easy Goer. He was a fighter. The Belmont proved that Easy Goer was the better of the two. That summer at Saratoga Easy Goer won The Travers AND The Whitney (beating elders), That Fall, he won The Woodward AND The JCGP (beating elders again). Come on, name me one other horse that won the Belmont, Travers, Whitney, Woodward and JCGP. If not for a sloppy Derby and a bad Pat Day ride at Pimlico, He would have been a Triple Crown winner, and would have been regarded as one of The true great ones of all time.
