Easy Goer actually ran a 0 in the Met Mile on Ragozin Sheets -- a wide trip combined with giving a lot of weight away to the top 2 finishers was the reason his race was so fast.

I'd have to think it might be the fastest Ragozin ever for a 3rd place finisher of a race.

Alydar ran a faster Ragozin than Affirmed in all 3 triple crown races.

Oddly enough, several Belmont Stakes winners in the '50s and '60s also won the Met Mile. Gallant Man, Sword Dancer, Arts And Letters, and Native Dancer to name a few.
