Much as I like Birdstone ( and love Easy Goer ), the Champagne-Belmont-Travers triple may not be the world's greatest example to establish his greatness.
This argument can go around forever. They were both truly great horses. Sunday Silence's speed gave him a tactical edge over Easy Goer that more than narrowed any possible gap in their abilities. Pat Day further exacerbated the situation with his inept riding.
