At first instinct that's what I thought too, but after thinking about it more I'm not so sure. I still think so but it's closer than I originally thought. Best Pal was pretty awesome for a long time, and thoroughly dominated the Cal racing scene for 5 years. I always think of him as a great older horse but he swept the important Cal 2yo races, and ran 2nd in the Derby. Point Given, I was never a huge fan but it's hard to argue against his massive ability- his Belmont was one of the best performances I've ever seen live.

Gun to my head I still say Tiznow.
