My contenders for next best crop would probably, off the top of my head, have to be between 1985, 1989 and 1998 (not many would agree with 98). 85 had Spend a Buck, Chiefs Crown, Proud Truth, Skywalker and many other top flight horses. 89 had SS, EG, KG and Houston. 98 had IC, RQ, VG, EOTY, LL, HH, Artax, Old Trieste, Coronados Quest, Cape Town. Overall, a very underappreciated group. I don't know. 85 was crazy deep though. |

![]() I think that's the race in which he galloped out the mile in about 133. That Turkoman had one of the most electrifying turns of foot you'll ever see.

The fillies from that crop weren't too shabby either, with Personal Ensign and Very Subtle leading the way.

Gulch and Mining were ok sorts from that crop too. Capote was cut out to be a freak too. |

![]() 1989 -- the Sunday Silence/Easy Goer rivalry. That preakness was one of the best races I've ever seen.
