That series very easily should have been 2-2.

It took more time than I expected, and the video was not ideal, but in the final strides, you are right!

Thanks, I had never noticed before.

I saw a blown up photo of this a long time ago, and it was much more telling than in this video.

this is hilarious. now beating horses head to head somehow does not count. easy goer is better/faster than sunday silence even though he could not beat him on the track. i still remember the races, the preakness was the best. sunday silence was all guts and easy goer was used to jogging home. when they line the horse up against 5 scrubs and of course he can win by 20 lenghths. it reminds me of the horse that many on here claim to be so great. she wins by daylight against scrubs but against equals its a whole new ball game. thats how it goes in sports, if the competition is inferior it makes you look better than you really are. if you can't beat the best 3 out of 4 times, you probably are not better......wow.....logic. excuses do not count and winning against "set up" fields is no equalizer. why don't we replay the races and bet on them? i'll give you easy goer everytime.......lol
