Most Underrated Performances

[randallscott35]

Your list is excellent, but a lot of these are not underrated by the people who follow racing. In fact, they are appreciated. I don't think you shoud go strictly based on time.

BUT, the one I agree with most is #13- "Riboletta- 2000 Beldame. In a gigantic performance, the South American star would dispose of champion Beautiful Pleasure and run 9 furlongs in a strong 1:46 flat. Just 3/5ths off of Secretariat's track record, and 1/5th off of Go For Wand's Stakes record."

On her day, one of the fastest fillies around. Totally and completely underrated, mostly I feel b/c of her flop in the Breeders Cup when she was over the top anyway.

I don't go strickly based on time....but, obviously, any very brilliant stakes performance has to be run in sharp time.

I tried to pick all races that might not be included on the average persons top 10 or top 20 performances list.

Like I said, you did a nice job....Congaree's Thoros have been passed by Mineshaft, Ghostzapper, Saint Liam, and Thor's Echo(albeit in a sprint).

I believe only Ghostzapper has since passed him on Ragozin sheets. I could be wrong about that though.

His performance that day was jaw-dropping. In fact, all four of his races over that track were pretty special.

I was going by Thoros, for Rags I have no idea. You might be right.
