American Pharoah already ate some Frosted Flakes in the Derby....LMAO......Frosted can`t beat AP.......Never happen!
I think this Triple Crown would be much more interesting if they were to expand the 2 week layoff to 4 weeks between races. We would probably get more of the original field from the Derby in the next two races. As it stands, the Preakness field is always much smaller than the Derby field because of the two week turnaround. But the Belmont field is also smaller. But the 1.5 mile distance makes up for it. Many may not remember that the rules used to be different for the Triple Crown. You used to have to run the Derby in order to enter the Preakness, and run both to be entered in the Belmont. The elimination of that rule and the fresh horses they now enter has made it much much tougher to win the TP.
Sunday Silence and easy goer was a great rivalry.
Silver Charm came up short......Died at the 16th pole.
Real Quiet came real close......He should have won that race.
She`s going to have to fly again......Here she comes with giant strides.....She was the best.
Easy Goer had a ton of problems in the Derby. He got cut off badly at the beginning of that race. So did Sunday Silence. But what really cost Easy Goer was being cut off with nowhere to go coming down the stretch. Otherwise I think he would have been right there with SS. Both horses were absolute studs..
One of the best horse races I have ever seen......The track announcer says....If she wins this,she`ll be a super horse.....She`s starting to pick them off though....LOL.
I would give Sunday Silence and Easy Goer a push......Pretty much equal.
Alydar and Affirmed was another solid rivalry.
The '89 Preakness is still the best that I've seen. As good as Pat Day was, I still think Easy Goer had two very mediocre rides in the Derby and Preakness. Day got caught in traffic in the Derby, so in the Preakness he started Easy Goer early with the whip and it cost him down the stretch. That's just my opinion, but you can judge for yourselves...
This race really defines the Sunday Silence/Easy Goer rivalry.....Great race call by Tom Durkin.
Easy Goer reminded me of Forego.......Forego was like a freight Train coming down the stretch.
