More than a few runnings of the Preakness have been impressive. Bernadini and Funny Cide as well.

I think it was unquestionably one of the best performances of the decade. A horse that ugly, and that slow, and that unsound, winning any graded stakes race with Stewart Elliot up?!?! Impressive!

This is a solid cop out.

Since I love closers, I've got to add Street Sense in the 2007 Kentucky Derby, and Mine That Bird in the 2009 Kentucky Derby.

And then there's Kip Deville's 2007 BC Mile. I loved that horse.

Surfsides Clark.... You dont here anything about this, but she ran a 116 beyer setting ALL THE PACE, beating males handily. I think this is easily as good as any single race Zenyatta or Rachel have run.

Those weren't very good males though. I'm skeptical of that number.

Nice filly though.
