Roses in May's effort in the 2004 Whitney is often overlooked because of the hanger Perfect Drift. However, watching that race and looking at the chart shows you how that pace absolutely fractured the other horses who were even remotely involved in the early running. Peace Rules and Newfoundland, coming off a 1-2 finish in the Suburban, were beaten over 8 and 9 lengths respectively. Seattle Fitz, coming off a win in the Brooklyn, was beaten over 15 lengths.

I like that Xtra Heat was coming off Beyers of 117 and 120 going into the BC Sprint and was still 17-1. Nowadays a horse with those numbers would (justifiably) be 3-5, filly or no.

I thought the way Medaglia d'Oro tried to hang on in the 2004 BC Classic after dueling with Congaree was pretty nice. Also liked the way Winning Colors held for third in her Preakness after putting away Forty Niner. When you consider that Forty Niner came back to win the Haskell and Travers and was a 2yo champion, you realize the quality of horse he was and for Winning Colors to run his ass into the ground and still not spit the bit was a testament to her quality.
