Best Comeback by a horse in 2006

[Danzig]

for a racing comeback, you'd be hard pressed to find a better story than round pond.

there's also lava man, who was almost retired last year. yeah, he didn't win the bcc, but only one horse CAN win it. won everything else this year.

Lava Man for me as well!

Badge of Silver for me. Who would have thought that horse would come back at all. Not to mention a third in the Breeders Cup Mile and a 2nd in the Cigar. Not too bad all.

Thanks. I still will never forget my reaction when I read Frankel was entering BOS in The Mile. I thought it was a joke. I still thought he would be scratched. I still didnt totally believe it until the race started and I saw him come out of the gate.

How about Barbaro? He was given about a 10% chance to survive then he had the complications.

2nd in the Cigar is BS, but I agree with you regarding the BC Mile.

I completely discredit 2nd place finishes in 5 horse fields, regardless of who you run 2nd to

Yeah good point on the Cigar.

I disagree and grudgingly have to admit that running a horse off a layoff that long in the BC mile first time back and getting third, and then running a winning race in the Cigar to a horse who has been annointed as the next coming 4 weeks later is one hell of a comeback.

I dont care. This is opinion based. Give us your opinion and stop ridiculing others opinion.
