Which horses were truly great?

still can't believe patient Pat Day eneded up on the inside of sunday silence in the preakness and let him get away in the BCC - not 2 of his best days

So what was his excuse in the Derby again?
I know there is one, but there are so many BS excuses to keep straight when it comes to Easy Goer's defeats to Sunday Silence, that sometimes I can't keep them all straight.

.... no ****, can u imagine if E.G was a west coast horse and they cried about every loss to S.S.........

he got beat fair and square in the derby, day cost him the preakness and bcc in my opinion

Sunday Silence was the better horse. Gales is always bias when it comes to NY teams and horses. Hes a smart man but loses his rational side while pimping anything NY.

[gales0678]

come on timmy , watch the races again

day gets easy goer trapped down on the rail , watch the replays , he losses by a nose and never gets his full stride going on the last 1/16 , if day is outside and not pinned on the rail he wins for fun , you gotta be kidding me that you think he wasn't better

........thats why i love new yorkers......ateam fits that bill, what is very clear is that sunday silence and easy goer were 2 giants......they were the best rivalry in horse racing since 1978

Yes indeed they were. I miss them.

I'm reading a book about the 10 Greatest Derbys.

Citation ran a 1 mile prep on TUESDAY before the Derby.

He ran 8 races in Feb of his 3 year old season

The stories of the great horses of 40 and 50 years ago make it not even debatable that racing and stock have changed.
