Only if you are basing it on speed figures. First, the 1-2 fillies (Tempera and Imperial Gesture) were pretty good horses in their own right. Second, Johannesburg beat a very deep field that year (Siphonic, Came Home, Officer, Repent, Publication, etc.). Third, it was the cap to a brilliant globe-trotting, and unbeaten juvenile campaign.

Publication!?

Imperial Gesutre was like 50/1 in that Juv Fillies - what might have been the deepest Juv Fillies race ever - and she ran fast enough to win the Juvenile.

Macho Uno's Juvenile win over Point Given and Street Cry would rate far above Johannesburg.

I would put Favorite Trick's juvy performance over Johannesburg's, with both of them well behind Arazi.

Fair enough, although the field for the '97 Juvenile left a lot to be desired once Grand Slam got sliced up in the first turn.

Lure breaking from the outside, getting wiped out on the first turn and still winning with ease tells me just how dominating a miler he was, especially on firm ground.
