But Sighty are we only dealing with US. horseys here, what about Goldikova always beating the boys????

Oh, fun one, Sightseek!

Rags' Belmont was so great to watch when she and Curlin both kicked away from the rest of the field and went head-to-head the whole way down the stretch, but it was very slow and Hard Spun and Curlin ran well in both the Derby and Preakness and I think were a bit tired, while Rags had the benefit of a rest.

That was a fun Belmont- almost as good for me as Big Brown's, which was great not for the lame race, but for spending a nice day with FGFan.

I think I'd give it to Rachel's Preakness. Honest pace, large field, outside post and she'd also run two weeks (and one day) previous.

Gallorette over Stymie in the 1946 Brooklyn Handicap, then winning the 1948 Carter AND Whitney as a 6YO mare. Twilght Tear over Pensive in the 1944 Pimlico Special. Busher over multi-older horse of the year winner Armed in the 1945 Washington Park Handicap.

i'll take rachels 3 wins vs males vs the other horses 1 total. most 3 yo colts don't get that kind of schedule, let alone win those three. her season was a treat.
