That being said, the better horse won three out of four in that series. Not even nearly twenty years of New York-biased whining coupled with accusations of questionable merit can change that fact.
You are right on with that last comment. Yeah EG beat SS big at 1 1/2 miles, but at 1 1/2 miles, who cares? Its an irrelevant distance in American dirt racing. But I'm sure I'll get criticized for agreeing with you on this; and it is an East Coast dominated board.

Nothing wrong with the East Coast. I lived in NYC for three years and loved every minute of it. I just think that on this one issue, where there was a great NY horse and a great Cali-horse with a great rivalry, some people still just have trouble granting Sunday Silence his due credit.
I also don't know that I would call 12f an "irrelevant distance."
