There is simply no way Cherokee Run's win was as good as Artax's either.
I believe CR got something like a 110 Beyer - compared to the 123 for Artax.
Artax broke Mr. Prospector's long standing track record and defeated two of the best sprinters of the 90's in Kona Gold and Big Jag.
Soviet Problem was a super No Cal filly and was beaten only a head - and Cardmania was a 22/1 shot 3rd place finisher - who hadn't won a race in ten months prior to that BC Sprint - and was defeated in each of his 7 starts following that race before retiring.

Equaled not broke. The fastest 6 furlongs in GP history was Elusive Quality though he doesnt officially hold the track rcord.
