I just don't see what Russell Baze riding Gary Stevens has to do with this particular topic. To each his own I guess.

Going back to 1940, there have been some good ones, but Native Dancer has got to top the list. Also Damascus, Nashua, Bimelech, Little Current, Risen Star, Point Given, Afleet Alex, Tobasco Cat, Hansel, and Capot all won the Preakness and Belmont.

Haven't seen a display of courage like his in the Travers since then, that was heart personified.
And if you wanna see a frightening display of raw power, watch his Woodward.

Note the part about the FBI.
Croll later said that they concluded he had been tampered with before the Derby.

This was a magnificent horse. His place in history diminished because his career ending injury coiinicided with the true assertion of Cigar, he slipped through the cracks.

Wish someone had the video of his Met Mile or Woodward or Travers.
Now this was a superhorse.

I know, I have most of his races on tape.. I go back and watch them a few times each year... I was there for that Woodward on Super Saturday 94, it was the best experience ive ever had as a racing fan.
