Best Comeback by a horse in 2006

Lava Man for me as well!

Badge of Silver for me. Who would have thought that horse would come back at all. Not to mention a third in the Breeders Cup Mile and a 2nd in the Cigar. Not too bad all.

Thanks. I still will never forget my reaction when I read Frankel was entering BOS in The Mile. I thought it was a joke. I still thought he would be scratched. I still didnt totally believe it until the race started and I saw him come out of the gate.

How about Barbaro? He was given about a 10% chance to survive then he had the complications.

2nd in the Cigar is BS, but I agree with you regarding the BC Mile.

I completely discredit 2nd place finishes in 5 horse fields, regardless of who you run 2nd to

Yeah good point on the Cigar.

I disagree and grudgingly have to admit that running a horse off a layoff that long in the BC mile first time back and getting third, and then running a winning race in the Cigar to a horse who has been annointed as the next coming 4 weeks later is one hell of a comeback.

I dont care. This is opinion based. Give us your opinion and stop ridiculing others opinion.

Barbaro has my vote (not that i have a "vote"). I know it wasnt a comeback on the track but he deserves the award simply for his sheer will to LIVE.

Ok in my opinion your opinions are consistently without merit?
Happy now?
I gave my opinion the first time and stated why it was my opinion.
