Best Comeback by a horse in 2006

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.

Barbaro has my vote (not that i have a "vote"). I know it wasnt a comeback on the track but he deserves the award simply for his sheer will to LIVE.

How about Miesque's Approval? He was a stakes-winner early in his career, a $50,000 claimer late in 2005, and BC Mile winner in 2006.

Ok in my opinion your opinions are consistently without merit?
Happy now?
I gave my opinion the first time and stated why it was my opinion.

Furthermore Euro, if you had better reading comprehension skills, you would see that my opinion was completely agreeing with yours!!!!!!
Badge had the best comeback to me.
Round Pond was running awesome races in the spring and her comeback was great.
But Frankel's job with Badge and his performances off an injury layoff that long were just great.

Brass Hat started his comeback in 2005 but to get second in the World Cup is incredible and deserves my vote for comeback horse. If he returns and keeps winning he'll go down as one of the toughest horses ever.

If my opinion is without merit then why do you agree with me. Man, you are like a woman--constantly talking in circles.

No you dolt, your opinion on the comeback horse. Talking to you is like talking to my 8 year old.
