Without much hesitation, Rags to Riches Belmont, Winning Colors 88, Genuine Risk 80, Regret 1915?...go for immortality in a year like this. I still remember thinking Silverbulletday would have roasted that field in 1999 but Baffert sent the wrong filly. Who knows if she would have won, but she sure looked like a champ with the ease in which she took the Oaks. Talk about a push button filly.

Excellent Meeting finished a good 5th in the '99 Derby, closing with a flourish. Silverbulletday was done after a mile in the Belmont.

Excellent Meeting was a solid filly, but SBD was spectacular on her days. She won the Oaks at 9f easily when asked. That's as confident of a ride as you ever saw out of Stevens. Also crushed the fillies by 9 L at 10f in the Alabama. She was due for a rest when she went to the Belmont and was used too fast trying to go on the front. IMO, she's right there with Rags and Serena's Song as the best 3yo fillies of the last 15 years or so.
