Champion Hall of Famer Easy Goer was proven on the big stage and won 9 G1 races in his career at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f and 12f - 9 G1 wins from 7f to 12f. Easy Goer ran the fastest mile of all-time by any 3 yr old in 1:32:2, just one-fifth of a second off Dr. Fager's world record mile. Easy Goer also ran the second fastest Belmont Stakes of all time behind only Secretariat. Easy Goer is the only horse in racing history to win the Belmont, Whitney, Travers, Woodward and Jockey Club Gold Cup, while defeating older horses in the Whitney, Woodward and Jockey Club Gold Cup. Easy Goer and two other Champion Hall of Famers (Kelso) are the only horses in racing history to win the Whitney, Woodward and Jockey Club Gold Cup in the same year, but of the elusive three Hall of Famers to do it, Easy Goer was the only one to do it as a 3 yr old - the other two did it as elders. Easy Goer ran right on the 6.5f track record at age 2, the fastest 7f of the year in Florida, and among the top 5 fastest all-time renewals of the Champagne at 8f, Gotham at 8f, Whitney at 9f, Travers at 10f, Suburban at 10f, and Belmont Stakes at 12f. In the absence of either, both Easy Goer and Sunday Silence would have been Triple Crown winners. Instead, each proved the other's greatness.

Easy Goer was by far the best horse I ever witnessed in person.

One of the best performances ever.

"Easy Goer was a natural, with his strongly defined, chiseled features, luminescent red coat, and with the force and power of his bearing and his performances. Easy Goer would win with uncommon authority, displaying unbridled power and acceleration. Easy Goer was an explosive, powerful bolt who accelerated past horses instantly with a huge, fluid, ground-swallowing stride, the ground a blur beneath his hooves, leaving horses behind in widening wakes while appearing to make only fleeting contact with the dirt. Easy Goer was a red blur who whooshed by horses like a Ferrari passing tricycles, defying gravity and physics with an aristocratic nonchalance; an explosion of will and determination that he routinely unveiled with immense ability which brought him to the Hall of Fame, a shrine which is the ultimate honor for any and every Thoroughbred. Since the genesis of the breed, no Thoroughbred has fun a faster mile than Easy Goer as a three-year-old, while he came within only one-fifth of Dr. Fager's hallowed world-record; and only one horse, Secretariat, has run a faster mile-and-a-half Test-of-the-Champion Belmont Stakes than Easy Goer. Easy Goer also is the only horse in racing history to win the Belmont, Whitney, Travers, Woodward and Jockey Club Gold Cup and the only 3-year-old to win the Whitney, Woodward and Jockey Club Gold Cup while defeating older horses in the latter three. Easy Goer is one of only two horses to win the Champagne, Belmont, and Travers. He is also one of only two horses to notch a Travers, Whitney and Belmont Stakes triple, and the only one to do so in the same year. Additionally, he is one of only five horses to tally a Whitney-Travers double in the same year. Since 1919, Easy Goer is one of only ten horses to sweep the Belmont, Travers and Jockey Club Gold Cup. Since 1973, Easy Goer is one of only seven horses that have won three consecutive Grade I races longer than 1 1/8 miles on dirt; with the other six being Triple Crown winners Affirmed, Seattle Slew, Secretariat, American Pharoah, as well as Alysheba and Gentlemen. Thus Easy Goer ran a series of victories only rarely interrupted in a few races by another great Hall of Fame rival in Sunday Silence, and in the unique kind of mud found at Churchill Downs; with his largest margin of defeat in his entire career being only two and a half lengths. Even Easy Goer's narrow defeats did nothing to dispel the notion that Easy Goer was one of the best of all-time; the brilliance in his performances were worthy of only a highly special racehorse. Even his narrow losses were resounding; there was never any quit in Easy Goer. Even certifiable legends are allowed some transgressions and losses, and Easy Goer would summon up enough class and heart even in his infrequent, tight losses. He always ran well and was right there even in his close defeats." - In Easy Goer's Hall of Fame induction article in BloodHorse magazine. Former DRF chairman Steven Crist: "Even as the racing world mourns the death of Secretariat, it will turn its attention tomorrow to the colt Easy Goer, who is on the verge of completing the most impressive 3-year-old campaign since Secretariat's 1973 Triple Crown season. He lost the Derby by two and a half lengths on a muddy track and the Preakness by inches, two races that Secretariat won, but he has already won three races Secretariat lost by combined margins of 9 and a half lengths as a 3-year-old: the Wood Memorial, the Whitney Handicap against older and the Woodward Handicap vs elders. His burgeoning list of racing triumphs in the Belmont, Whitney beating older horses, Travers, Woodward beating elders again, and Jockey Club Gold Cup defeating older again, is arguably the most impressive campaign by a 3-year-old since Secretariat's Triple Crown season in 1973. With that super-impressive list of successive triumphs, Easy Goer's credentials for ranking among the sport's greatest horses is certain. This leaves Easy Goer looking like what he really is: one of the best horses racegoers have had the pleasure to watch, and a worthy addition to the sport's Hall of Fame." Jay Hovdey, of the DRF: "In days of yore, they called this the "handicap" division, and often a 3-year-old would earn the title by dominating his elders. Prior to 1971 the American Champion Older Male Horse award was referred to as "Champion Handicap Male Horse." It was open to any horse ages three years old and up, and this award was given to some all time great champions at the age of three, such as Citation, Buckpasser, Damascus, Arts and Letters and Sword Dancer. Each reduced the older horses to mere spear carriers in major handicap races. This is a perfect year (1989) to reinstate the Champion Handicap Male category as it was, for no horse deserves it more than Easy Goer. The three-year-old Easy Goer conceded weight on scale while defeating top older horses in both the Whitney (G1) and Woodward (G1) Handicaps; defeated leading older horses a third time in the weight-for-age mile-and-a-half Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1); and beat prominent older horses again in the weight-for-age Breeders' Cup Classic (G1). This is the ideal year to reinstitute the Champion Handicap Male category as it was, for no horse merits it more than Easy Goer." Former DRF racing writer Ed Fountaine: "The Triple Crown campaign takes a savage toll. After the Belmont Stakes, even great champions like Seattle Slew, Affirmed and Silver Charm took months to recover. That’s why the post-Triple Crown exploits of Easy Goer are so remarkable."

Easy Goer was awesome. Equally awesome was Sunday Silence. Better than both of them were Seattle Slew, Secretariat, Zenyatta, Personal Ensign, Man 'O' War, War Admiral, Kelso, Affirmed, American Pharoah, and Dr. Fager.

"The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer met and fulfilled those dreams and expectations embodied in his powerful chestnut frame, and authored an unforgettable Hall of Fame championship career, and will always be mentioned in the same breath with the GREATEST of ALL TIME."

The Hall of Fame champion Easy Goer ran a faster Ragozin speed figure in this Belmont Stakes than Secretariat ran in his world record Belmont Stakes. Easy Goer's track was much slower, and Easy Goer was four wide or so around the whole way. Amazing! "Easy Goer was the best horse I ever rode. He was the most talented and he had a big engine and a lot of heart and desire. He did what he did with continuing ailments. He ran awfully fast and would just explode; he would actually feel like he was going to come right through the bridle; he was like a shot out of a cannon; tremendous speed, stamina, versatility, and brilliant acceleration and turn of foot.

Easy Goer was a scintillating resemblance of outstanding speed, exalted power & remarkable stamina indeed. Steven Haskins-"The closest thing physically to Secretariat. Adonis like with powerful & giant stride proportions. He justified all the admiration despite being plagued by terrible ankles his entire career."

Easy Goer was something special, spectacular and enormous and explosive. Many of Easy Goer's phenomenal performances rank as some of the most impressive in the history of the sport. Easy Goer had All the tools, credentials, handiness, and versatility to fashion the monumental performances he regularly turned in. A horse that ran so fast, in such an easy way. A tremendous running machine. From a speed-performances standpoint, Easy Goer ran faster and better than Slew, Bid, and Affirmed did, at ages 2 and 3. Easy Goer was placed upon a throne and justified all the admirations, despite being plagued by problematic ankles his entire career.

Easy Goer - historic record mile in 1:32:2, second fastest Belmont in history, the best Beyer Speed performance in any Triple Crown race since they were first published, the best Beyer Speed performance of any 2-year-old since they were first published, routinely ran speed figures in the 120's in most of his races, historic 3-year-old campaign, etc. What a gem, a diamond!

Prove Out's 2:25.8 in mud defeating Secretariat by over four lengths was amazing. In Belmont Stakes history however, only Secretariat ran a faster time than Easy Goer in 2:26.01, who was slightly faster than 3rd fastest A.P. Indy in 2:26.15. Interesting to also note that Easy Goer amazingly ran a faster Ragozin speed figure in his Belmont Stakes than Secretariat ran in his Belmont Stakes. Easy Goer's track was much slower, and Easy Goer was four wide or so around the whole way. And Easy Goer also ran a still-standing record mile in 1:32 2/5 breaking Secretariat's stakes record by a full second; and just one-fifth off Dr. Fager's hallowed world record! I quote BloodHorse: "In an effort so brilliant and stunning it will never be forgotten by anyone fortunate enough to witness it, Easy Goer went beyond mere brilliance, winning Aqueduct's Gotham Stakes in 1:32 2/5, only one-fifth of a second slower than Dr. Fager's world record for a mile and a full second faster than Triple Crown winner Secretariat's stakes record. Easy Goer did it under no urging and was well in hand by his rider, making only his second start as a 3-year-old. Easy Goer, who won by 13 lengths, also broke the track record by four-fifths of a second. His unofficial gallop-out time in the Gotham, 1:45 4/5 for 1 1/8 miles, was 1 1/5 seconds faster than Riva Ridge's track record and only two fifths of a second slower than Secretariat's former world record on dirt."

Perhaps you didn't read the main comment of this thread started by Easygoer4life. You responded specifically to james friel's false comment on the Belmont track, not acknowledging Prove Out. However, the main comment of this thread started by Easygoer4life WAS a discussion SPECIFICALLY about Belmont Stakes history. In my comment, I acknowledged Prove Out. Ragozin has been making his speed figures for over 60 years. Though I've read it in various places online which I didn't save; my source is my own Ragozin spreadsheet data that I purchased throughout the years. I purchased the Ragozin spreadsheet data of various great horses throughout the years, including Easy Goer, Secretariat, Sunday Silence, Ghostzapper, Affirmed, Bid, Slew, American Pharoah, and some others. On the Ragozin scale, the lower the number the faster the speed figure. Easy Goer ran a -0 ragozin speed figure, while Sec ran a +1. Those were the two horses Ragozin speed figures from the data spreadsheets I have in my possession. Ragozins obviously take into account various factors like ground loss, weight, wind, track surface speed. Easy Goer obviously was four wide or so around the entire track and his track was playing much slower than Secretariat's. They carried the same weight, and I am not sure about the wind factor on the two days. As far as Easy Goer's record [Belmont, Champagne etc] Beyer Speed Figures [routinely in the 120's], there are various sources citing them on Easy Goer's wikipedia article page. There are numerous links found there supporting the claims of his record Beyer Speed Figures.

Easy Goer was an explosive horse who made explosive, sudden, devastating, dramatic moves shooting by horses like a shot, like a rocket. Easy Goer was the total opposite of a grinder. Easy Goer was also able to go to the lead from the start in some races, as Day said: "In some races Easy Goer would jump into the bridle and go right to the lead. He got to the lead in some races within an eighth of a mile. In some other races, he wanted to go the lead from the start, but I instead would settle him and get him into the rhythmic beat of his long and powerful strides. I got to ride some of the who's who's of racing in my career and Easy Goer was the best of the bunch. Easy Goer was the best horse I ever rode. He was the most talented and he had a big engine and a lot of heart and desire. He did what he did with continuing ailments. He ran awfully fast and would just explode; he would actually feel like he was going to come right through the bridle; he was like a shot out of a cannon; tremendous speed, stamina, versatility, and brilliant acceleration and turn of foot." In his Hall of Fame induction article in the BloodHorse magazine, the author described Easy Goer well: "Easy Goer was a natural, with his strongly defined, chiseled features, luminescent red coat, and with the force and power of his bearing and his performances. Easy Goer would win with uncommon authority, displaying unbridled power and acceleration.

"Easy Goer ---- Monstrous! I have read that Easy Goer's monstrous speed-figures are some of the fastest of all-time!

Easy Goer wasn't Secretariat, but he was a great Secretariat emulator in numerous, momentous renditions he ran. Easy Goer demonstrated dazzling, magnificent record book speed at a mile and at lesser sprint distances, as well as merging and uniting splendid, authentic stamina with it. And he demonstrated this with distorted ankles, a club - foot, and deformed left leg that turned out bending the wrong way. Something special without a doubt.

But yes, Easy Goer was a horse with a penchant for large winning margins and extremely speedy clockings in many of his races. This will lead to those rankings and always being mentioned in the same breath with the greatest horses of all time.

Easy Goer was a phenomenal horse! It was to New York's credit that the Belmont Stakes and numerous other huge, historic, prestigious G1 races in NY stood as a huge obstacle to a drug-dependent horse. Winning any big race on medication was/is not what racing is about; and they were commonly and legally used in all the sport's most prestigious races run outside New York. Only the drug-free medication-free races could/can be called championship events in my opinion. New York's no-medication no-drug rules during that era kept the outcomes crystal clear. New York's refusal to allow race-day drugs was a big factor in keeping New York's major races the true tests of champions in that era. Champions are born, made, based and/or trained anywhere in the world, but most American champions are still crowned having run in the major races in New York. And New York was and still is the most prominent racing circuit in North America. During that era, New York was alone [in the US] and was the only state that had the courage to ban all race-day drugs and medications. Until the fall of 1995, New York was the ONLY state in the entire country that banned ALL race-day drugs and medications. Most connections decisions not to run in NY was influenced mostly by New York's no-medication rules more than anything else. The connections of many many top horses, including Summer Squall, Best Pal, Dance Smartly, Hollywood Wildcat, Tight Spot, Paseana, Blushing John, Lost Code, Desert Wine, Snow Chief, Wild Again, Tank's Prospect, Skywalker, King Glorious, Spend a Buck, Great Communicator, Infinidad, Capote, Sunny's Halo, Gate Dancer, The Wicked North, Suave Prospect, Tejano Run, Lil E. Tee, etc., freely admitted that their horses could not compete in top company without the drugs and medications, and never [or very rarely] ran them in the prominent, illustrious races in drug free New York. In doing that, they came clean with the fans, bettors, breeders and the Eclipse Award voters. These horses trainers and connections would pass up these drug free races - and if they ran in them they were often exposed for what they were by not running well - if that was not already apparent from them having skipped [and/or not run well] most of these drug free, illustrious Grade 1 races in NY with huge purses. New York banned ALL drugs, and these included much more than just the diuretic Lasix [which masks other drugs by flushing prohibited substances from a horse's system in order to elude post-race detection]. These included banning various anti-inflammatory drugs , diuretics, painkillers, stimulants, adjunct drugs, bronchodilators [helps to breathe better, get more air] , etc like Procaine, Banamine, Ketoprofun, Bute, cocaine, caffeine, snake venom, Flunixin, acetylsalicylic acid, meclofanemic acid, Naproxen, Clenbuterol, aminocaproic acid [ACA], tranexamic acid [antifibrinolytics], carbazochrome ["Kentucky Red"], etc. And these included banning MANY more exotic treatments, both legal and illegal in other states, but NOT in New York. NONE were permitted in New York, Only Hay, oats and water. New York's no-medication no-drug rules kept the outcomes crystal clear. New York's refusal to allow drugs was a major factor in keeping New York's major races the true tests of champions. Belmont Park was, is and will always be "The Championship Track" because nearly every major American champion - and Hall of Famer - in racing history has competed on the racetrack. West-coast based Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens, "Belmont Park is by far the fairest track in America. If you’re on the best horse, you have plenty of room to navigate. The best horse almost always wins at Belmont Park." West-coast based Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, "It's not even close. Belmont is the fairest of all American tracks. The track is big, and you don't get jammed up like you do on most other tracks because of the tighter turns. And speed, tactical speed, versatility and handiness are still needed. While a horse can win with any style at Belmont, there is a false perception that in the "The Test of the Champion" Belmont Stakes - or at Belmont in general - that you can come from left field and run down tired horses in front. But the truth is you really have to be in the mix. You really need to be on or near the lead within striking distance, and/or have tactical speed and not drop too far out of it. " West-coast based Hall of Fame rider Laffit Pincay, "Belmont Park is the best by far. Everything is perfect-it's just a wonderful track. The big wide track is great for horses." West-coast based Hall of Fame rider Bill Shoemaker, "Belmont Park, it's ideal. Belmont Park has the best track with it's fine surface and size. It's wide and wonderful. Big, wide sweeping turns and long straightaways. Riders and horses seldom bunch and jam, and a horse can run the turns as fast as the straightaways."

You better believe it also depends on the jockey. Like I said, maybe if a young Eddie Arcaro would have been the jockey on Easy goer maybe he would have won all 3 races. It's not only about the great horse it's about how great and, smart the jockey is. Pat Day might have been a good jockey but, I'vr heard he made some bad mistakes in those two races he lost. Not all great jockeys work well with great horses neither. When Willie Shoemaker rode the great kelso it didn't work out. The readon was Willie had soft hands and, kelso being a tuff boy which is why they gelded him needed some jockey with strong hands like Eddie Arcaro. When Valenzuela came in to ride kelso, Eddie told him don't push him cause he doesn't like to be push, he said sometimes the more you hold him back the more he wants to go. Ofcaurse Ismael Valenzuela was very successful with kelso. Some jockeys were perfect for some horses, Eddie Arcaro with kelso were perfect together, Valenzuela too. Valenzuela not only said kelso was the best horse he ever rode but, that kelso was the greatest racehorse of all-times.Again it depends who how smart the jockey is alot of times too.

New York was the center of the horse racing universe and the place where championships were decided every year throughout most of racing history. New York was the only drug free and medication free state back then. Obviously, California, Kentucky, Florida, Maryland, Louisiana, etc. allowed drugs back then. New York banned ALL drugs, and these included much more than just the diuretic Lasix [which masks other drugs by flushing prohibited substances from a horse's system in order to elude post-race detection]. These included banning various anti-inflammatory drugs , diuretics, painkillers, stimulants, adjunct drugs, bronchodilators [helps to breath better, get more air] , etc like Procaine, Banamine, Ketoprofun, Bute, cocaine, caffeine, snake venom, Flunixin, acetylsalicylic acid, meclofanemic acid, Naproxen, Clenbuterol, aminocaproic acid [ACA], tranexamic acid [antifibrinolytics], carbazochrome ["Kentucky Red"], etc. And these included banning MANY more exotic treatments, both legal and illegal in other states, but NOT in New York. NONE were permitted in New York, Only Hay, oats and water. Not until 1995-96 did this change, when N.Y. allowed ONLY Lasix for proven bleeders. The entire history of thoroughbred racing in every part of the world had been governed by the rule that horses may not be treated with drugs when they compete. But in the 1970s, many American horsemen argued that the stress of year-round racing required that thoroughbreds needed some therapeutic help, and the era of permissive medication was inaugurated. However back then, New York was alone [in the US] and was the only state that had the courage to ban all drugs. New York's no-medication no-drug rules kept the results crystal clear. New York's refusal to allow drugs was a key factor in keeping New York's major races the true tests of champions. Back then, the connections of many top horses, including Blushing John, Dance Smartly, Hollywood Wildcat, Tight Spot, Paseana, Lost Code, Desert Wine, Snow Chief, Wild Again, Tank's Prospect, Skywalker, King Glorious, Spend a Buck, Capote, Sunny's Halo, The Wicked North, Suave Prospect, Tejano Run, Lil E. Tee, Summer Squall, Best Pal, etc., freely admitted that their horses could not compete in top company without the drugs and medications, and never [or rarely] ran them in the prominent, illustrious races in drug free New York. In doing that, they came clean with the fans, bettors, breeders and the Eclipse Award voters. In my view, Only the drug free, medication free races can truly be called championship events. Horses such as the ones I mentioned would pass up these drug free races, or were exposed for what they were, if that was not already apparent from them having skipped these drug free, illustrious Grade 1 races with huge purses. Even some unabashed trainers, writers, media [like Charlsey Cantey], fans etc of these horses would distinguish themselves by saying that so and so horse would have to beat so and so horse in New York - without the drugs and medications- to win titles and championships. When Charlie Whittingham [trainer of SS] was asked what he was going to do with SS in the six months between the Triple Crown & the Breeders' Cup, & why he would run SS for a smaller purse [$400k] in the less competitive Grade 2 Swaps, and why he did not run SS in the drug free and star studded $1.1 million dollar Grade 1 Travers, $1.1 million dollar Jockey Club Gold Cup against older, or just under $1 million dollar Grade 1 Woodward against older, Whittingham said: "I'd rather run with BLUE COWS and BILLY GOATS." Highly intelligent and a master trainer. No facing older horses or Easy Goer until the Breeders' Cup in Florida. No illustrious Grade 1 races with big purses in the only drug & medication free state [at that time] of New York like Whittingham did when he brought so many top horses to N.Y., including Greinton, Perrault, Lively One, Cougar II, Dahlia, Porterhouse, Goodbye Halo, Exceller, etc. From the 1800's until 1984 [creation of the Breeders' Cup], New York was the center of the horse racing universe and the place where championships were decided every year. The Preakness, Derby and Breeders' Cup ALLOWED all horses to run on drugs and medications in all their big races, except when the Cup was in, you guessed it - New York. New York ran the most illustrious, prominent races with the biggest purses. They still do after 1983, and they still do carry a lot of weight, but the game has changed. Even though the game has changed, New York continues to host the ceaseless tide of champions. The constancy of excellence and distinction in New York has prevailed mostly unaltered. Europe, Australia, Dubai etc., has never allowed drugs and medications. I am not questioning the great trainer Whittingham's integrity, but he did get suspended in 1986 for the procaine [painkiller] positive drug tests. Although Whittingham's vet, Harthill, was a total and absolute corrupt crook. Just do a search on Harthill. You will find lots of corruption. As for these two terrific horses [Sunday Silence and Easy Goer] , neither was a bleeder so I don't think Lasix was an issue at all. But obviously Easy Goer ran many races in New York where all drugs and medications were not allowed anyway. I'd much rather see top horses compete completely drug free and medication free. Really the last of the great drug free and medication free races [and horses] were run in New York until 1995-96. The bottom line is: New York's no-medication no-drug rules kept the outcomes crystal clear. New York's refusal to allow drugs was a key factor in keeping New York's major races the true tests of champions, and Easy Goer was a true Hall of Fame champion running in many drug free and medication free championship races.

Easy Goer, what a horse! And New York was the ONLY state in the entire country during that era that didn't allow ANY drugs and medications. New York didn't allow horses to race on ANY drugs during that era, while the rest of the country did. New York banned and prohibited all race-day drugs and medications. Only New York, among all the nation's racing jurisdictions, forbid the use of all drugs and medications on horses while racing. New York's no-medication no-drug rules during that era kept the outcomes crystal clear. New York's refusal to allow race-day drugs was a big factor in keeping New York's major races the true tests of champions in that era. Champions are born, made, based and/or trained anywhere in the world, but most American champions are still crowned having run in the major races in New York. And New York was and still is the most prominent racing circuit in North America. Belmont Park was, is and will always be "The Championship Track" because nearly every major American champion - and Hall of Famer - in racing history has competed on the racetrack. West-coasted based Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens, "Belmont Park is by far the fairest track in America. If you’re on the best horse, you have plenty of room to navigate. The best horse almost always wins at Belmont Park." West-coast based Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, "It's not even close. Belmont is the fairest of all American tracks. The track is big, and you don't get jammed up like you do on most other tracks because of the tighter turns. And speed, tactical speed, versatility and handiness are still needed. While a horse can win with any style at Belmont, there is a false perception that in the "The Test of the Champion" Belmont Stakes - or at Belmont in general - that you can come from left field and run down tired horses in front. But the truth is you really have to be in the mix. You really need to be on or near the lead within striking distance, and/or have tactical speed and not drop too far out of it. " West-coasted based Hall of Fame rider Laffit Pincay, "Belmont Park is the best by far. Everything is perfect-it's just a wonderful track. The big wide track is great for horses." West-coast based Hall of Fame rider Bill Shoemaker, "Belmont Park, it's ideal. Belmont Park has the best track with it's fine surface and size. It's wide and wonderful. Big, wide sweeping turns and long straightaways. Riders and horses seldom bunch and jam, and a horse can run the turns as fast as the straightaways."

I use to tell Allen Jerkens that I would have loved had prove out and secretariat been the same age and, he would have had prove out at the age of 3 and had prove out been in that triple crown againts secretariat, to see what might have been. I think secretariat might have been in alot of trouble. Prove out beat him giving 7 pounds away to him cause prove out was 4 and, sec was 3 and, they say sec wasn't ready for that woodward race, cause it was to be riva ridge but it turnn ut a sloppy track and, ridge wasn't much on a sloppy track so they put in sec who they say hadn't trained right for 1 mile and a half. Weather that was true or not, prove out was still giving away 7 pounds to him and, what the hell happened to secretariats sopposedly 22 pound heart which being the biggest heart of a racehorse was soppose to be an advantage cause he was getting more oxegen? What the big heart said 'sorry sec can't help you againts this speed demon stamina one'?Prove out did 24 flat for the last quater at belmont, no horse has ever done better than 24 secounds flat for the last quater there, secretariat would have to have done 23 secounds and change to beat prove out, so where the hell are we? Kelso did 23 seocunds 4/5 for the last quater at the dc international and , that was on 3 tight turns which they have to slow down when they're taking the tight turns more than for the huge sweeping turns, like at the 2 at belmont. Then again, kelso was kelso and, was the greatest of all times for many reasons. Secretariat never raced prove out again, he had a chance toface him at the 2 mile jockey gold cup but went to canada instead where there was more money and, was gonna only carry 117 pounds which for a big boy like that must have been feathers. Wise decision and man what a great excuse cause prove out kicked riva ridges' butt real bad at the 2 mile gold cup, riva couldn't keep up with the speed demon stamina horse whom Allen Jerkens told me he had trained for 3 miles. Prove out did 3:20 flat and became the secound fastest horse to do the 2 mile jockey gold cup and posses the 4 fastest timing for it after the great kelso who crazily holds the 3 fastest timings for it! Secretariat was wise to stay out of that jockey gold cup, He never raced prove out again. Beau purple might have beaten kelso but the first race kelso was giiving beau purple 17 pounds. Anyway Mrs. Dupont raced him until kelso beat hm but, kelso didn't duck any horse. Maybe some horses ducked kelso. Going back to easy goer, I love easy goer, gee can't help but speculate had he not got hurt. KELSOS' BIGGEST FAN

@@shaneb8254 Easy Goer was clean so no one in there right mind would look at a drug juiced performance enhanced As legit . Full admission by S.S. vet HARTHILL was a confession witnessed by the interviewer Jay Hovdey of DRF. By the way those others you mention would have dominated in many other years and we're better than many future champions.

Easy Goer possessed numerous weapons in his arsenal and was very versatile; he could go to the lead running very fast fractions (Champagne, Suburban, etc); he could stalk, prompt and track up close to very fast pace's (Gotham, Belmont, Preakness, Travers, Cowdin, maiden, etc); and he had a devastating turn of foot with extraordinary, explosive, electrifying acceleration. Easy Goer ran so many perennial all timer performances at every distance he ran, 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Easy Goer had that peerless all timer talent, ability, constitution, speed-stamina combo. There is no way to downplay Easy Goer's numerous all timer performances - no matter what anyone does. There is no way to downplay the fact that Easy Goer ran (1:32 2/5) 1/5 of a second off the WORLD RECORD mile of Dr. Fagers (1:32 1/5 as an older horse) and destroyed Secretariat's stakes record by a full second and he did it very easily while in hand - and it was only Easy Goers second start as a three year old; Easy Goer still holds the mile track record to this day - 27 years and counting; and Easy Goer ran the fastest mile ever by any three year old conceding significant weight. Easy Goer also ran the second fastest Belmont Stakes of all time at 12f behind only Secretariat. Easy Goer also ran right on the 6.5f track record as a two year old; ran right on the 8f Champagne record at age two; ran the fastest 7f of the year in Florida in his first start at age three; ran right on the existing 9f track record in one of the fastest Whitney's ever against older horses conceding weight; ran just off the 10f track record in one of the fastest Travers ever; ran right on the existing 10f track record in the 10f Suburban conceding significant weight. Even EG's very narrow losses at 9.5f (1:53 4/5) and 10f (2:00 1/5) were very fast races. Easy Goer's so called 'slow' timed races in the Wood Memorial (112 speed figure) and the Jockey Club Gold Cup (122 speed figure) against older horses were actually very fast, as they were run on very slow playing surfaces doing it easily under hand rides. Churchill - when muddy - plays (played) very very slow. Easy Goer ran numerous 120 or faster speed figures in his career, and also consistently ran in the 120 speed figure range on a regular basis in his races; he also ran the fastest Speed Figure performance by any two-year-old, as well as the fastest Speed Figure performance in any Triple Crown race since racing figures were first published.

Easy Goer was still perfectly capable of unleashing spectacular moves on the sharper turns, as he did when he romped in the 1989 Swale Stakes at Gulfstream in Florida. Easy Goer was also perfectly capable of staying close to SS on any and every track/track size as he did in all 3 Triple Crown races. Easy Goer had numerous weapons in his arsenal with brilliant natural speed, superb tactical speed, sensational athleticism, great agility and he was very versatile; he could go to the lead dictating pace & race running very fast fractions (Champagne, Suburban, etc); he could stalk, prompt and track up close to very fast pace's (Gotham, Belmont, Preakness, Travers, Cowdin, maiden, etc) dictating race & pace; and he had a devastating turn of foot with extraordinary, explosive, electrifying acceleration. A lot of it also had to do with riding styles/riding strategies and tactics, training/trainers etc. Easy Goer ran so many perennial all timer performances at every distance he ran, 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Easy Goer had that peerless all timer talent, ability, constitution, speed-stamina combo. There is no way to downplay Easy Goer's numerous all timer performances. From the recent book Ride 2 win by Gary West and the DRF champions book, I quote: "At various points in races, Day would merely 'let' Easy Goer run, not asking him. With the red flash Easy Goer, a request to run was not needed; Day would sit motionless with no encouragement. Easy Goer loved to run, and in an INSTANT, Easy Goer would take off with accelerated BURSTS that were visually STUNNING, reminiscent of moves of other legendary Hall of Fame champions. Easy Goer also would unleash SPECTACULAR moves around turns over bigger, larger turns on bigger, larger tracks." Clearly, Easy Goer had instant acceleration at all points in races. Easy Goer was generally faster on straightaways and larger, bigger turns and larger, bigger tracks. SS was generally faster on sharper, smaller turns on sharper, smaller tracks. Although - as I said - Easy Goer was still capable of unleashing spectacular moves on the sharper turns, as he did when he romped in the Swale Stakes at Gulfstream in Florida. But a lot of it also had to do with riding styles/riding strategies and tactics, training/trainers etc. Easy Goer also ran many more races in a shorter time period with much less time between races, and at more varying distances; & he ran mostly in the only state in the entire country at the time that banned all drugs & medications. SS ran significantly less races with much more time between races, at less varying distances, & all but 1 of his races were run in states that allowed drugs & medications. Sunday Silence's record (Lost 4 of 6 races) on bigger tracks with a circumference of 1 1/8m or larger was very similar to Easy Goer's record on smaller mile circumferenced tracks. However, size of tracks, size of turns, straightaway/turn speed & acceleration, region, rider/rider tactics, trainer/training, drugs/medications not being allowed, etc etc, are just a few of the numerous variables, and cannot be simplified when there are many more factors and variables. It is much more complicated than that given the myriad of variables that determine the outcome of races. Failing to factor the numerous other variables in can lead to the wrong conclusions about why horses win or lose races. It makes no sense to look at cause and effect simplistically because other variables may have determined the outcome. Just because the Earth looks flat based on the way we actually see it, does not mean that it is flat. SS held the slight 3 to 1 edge over EG in the races they both ran in. Those are facts, but who's "better overall", "better in general," or "better" in any way are all totally subjective. "Better" is totally subjective and numerous greats were behind or tied in head to head records vs other horses. Citation, Kelso, Easy Goer, Forego, Dr Fager, Damascus, Swaps, Nashua, John Henry, Skip Away, Sir Barton, Pleasant Colony, Shuvee and many others. Citation got beat 4 out of 5 by Noor; Kelso got beat 3 out of 4 by Beau Purple; Forego got beat 2 out of 3 by Big Spruce; Shuvee got beat 4 out of 5 by Gallant Bloom; Dr Fager got beat 2 out of 4 by Damascus; Pleasant Colony got beat 3 out of 4 by Akureyri; Triple Crown winner Sir Barton got beat 8 out of 12 by Billy Kelly; Skip Away got beat 4 out of 6 by Formal Gold; & there are an endless amount of other similar examples. Neither the Easy Goer/SS example or the other ones I cite show that any of these horses was "better" (which is totally subjective anyways) or was able to consistently get the better of the other. All these examples show is the records of two horses in a VERY LIMITED number of races. A few races certainly would NOT be even close to a large enough sample size if you were trying to establish consistency on a statistical basis; nor is it even close to a large enough sample size to show who was "better" (which is totally subjective anyways). There are numerous factors, including but not limited to : superior career, superior & better body of work, GI wins, Graded Stakes wins, wins against older horses & open company, running times, avg running times at various distances & at all distances, head to heads, records set, still standing records, weights carried & weights conceded, stakes wins & stakes wins vs. open company/older horses, varying distances won at during career, superior campaign or campaigns, durability, constitution, superiority & dominance, injuries, jockeys, riding & rider errors, trainers, training and trainer errors, win/loss %'s, trips, amount of races run, track sizes, track circumferences, post positions, campaign & career earnings with & without bonuses, races with drugs & medications allowed/used, races with no drugs & medications allowed/used, etc etc & many many more. They were both great horses, but who's better is still totally subjective even after factoring in the endless amount of other factors. Easy Goer & SS were both greats. Easy Goer won 12 total stakes, 9 Grade 1 wins at distances of 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f, and 12f showing versatility on all tracks & many distances. SS won 7 total stakes, 6 Grade 1 wins but only at distances from 9f to 10f. Both versatile indeed, but that is a big difference in versatility. Easy Goer also defeated older horses Six times at ages three and four while conceding a good amount of weight in quite a few of them. SS defeated older horses only two times at ages three and four. Many other factors would favor Easy Goer over SS as well, including a) amount of career races able to run - 20 to 14 ; b) amount of total career wins - 14 to 9 ; c) running times at all distances ; d) average running times at all distances ; e) career earnings without bonuses - about $ 4.8 million to about $ 3.8 million ; f) career winning percentage - 70% to 64% ; g) Grade 1 wins - 9 to 6 ; h) total stakes wins - 12 to 7 ; i) wins vs older horses/open/unrestricted at ages three & four - 6 to 2 ; j) Grade 1 stakes wins at various distances - EG at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f; SS at only 9f to 10f ; k) Easy Goer never was defeated by more than 2 & a half lengths in any race in a much longer career, SS never was defeated by more than 8 lengths in any race in a much shorter career; & other factors that would favor Easy Goer would be varying distances won at, records set, near records set, still standing records, running times, avg running times at all distances, campaigns, durability, constitution, dominance & superiority in races - average win margin and average loss margin, weights carried, weight concessions, etc. Other than SS's slight edge in head to head races, IMO Easy Goer was better than SS in most - if not all - these other factors & categories. But even after all of these numerous factors are factored in, who was better is still subjective. They were both greats, but IMO Easy Goer was a better horse, had a superior body of work, and had a superior career than SS even though SS held the slight edge in head to head races by the nose of his Preakness win. There is a lot more that can be said other than head to heads.

The essays, history and facts won't change that it was all done ILLEGALLY by ss- the illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill of the drug-reliant ss admitted to illegally administering illegal performance enhancing drugs to ss. "That the drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the superior, better horse than the drug-reliant & criminal cheater veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss is officially as clear as day." In the Test of the Champion drug-free Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed ss; like wheat separating from chaff, the cream rose to the top. Easy Goer ran drug-free in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, which banned all performance enhancing drugs; while the drug-reliant & illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant ss got exposed badly & romped when he was forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. The Litmus Test of a Champion is running & winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs; & during that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs. Plus, as importantly, New York banned & didn't allow the illegal criminal vet of ss Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally drugging an endless amount of horses] to drug the drug-reliant & illegal vet Alex Harthill-reliant ss. During that era, it was a huge credit to NY [& the rest of the whole world] that the endless amount of their championship G1 races stood as humongous, gigantic obstacles to drug-reliant horses like ss; & these horses, like ss & many others, got exposed badly when they were forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. ONLY no-drugs drug-free races were/are true championship races. Only the drug-free no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. No-drug races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drug races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the narrowest of margins to the drug-reliant ss, ss needed all of his performance enhancing drugs administered to him & still only beat him by the slimmest of margins. Plus, The drug-free Easy Goer won G1 races at 7f, 1 mile, 9f, 10f & 12f drug-free with much less time & rest between races & ran many more races at more fluctuating, different distances in faster times with far superior speed figures & performance ratings; while the drug-reliant ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with his ped drugs & much more time & rest between races & ran far less races. And most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs to ss. I quote the DRF for the factual truths: "Harthill, toward the end of his life, was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey of the Daily Racing Form) how he illegally gave numerous horses, including Clenbuterol to Sunday Silence, illegal drugs. Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol regularly in the 1980's, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, on his horses, INCLUDING using it on sunday silence. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it to Sunday Silence, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. The drug Clenbuterol has a similar effect on the body as epinephrine and amphetamines by increasing the production of epinephrine and noradrenaline, and thus significantly enhancing performance. Clenbuterol also thins blood and widens the vessels that carry oxygen, so the volume of oxygen in the blood increases, and thus significantly increases energy, and thus significantly enhances performance; plus clenbuterol dramatically reduces body fat by causing rapid fat burning. The drug Clenbuterol performed miracles for horses who made inexplicable improvements with major enhancements in performance.

Never forget "That the drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse than the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence if officially clear as day." Never forget it means as much or as little as all the scoreboards reading Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Cabrini Green 4, John Henry 0; Darby Creek Road 3, John Henry 0; Gallant Bloom 4, Shuvee 1; Akureyri 3, Pleasant Colony 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Damascus 2, Dr Fager 2; Formal Gold 4, Skip Away 2; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; & an endless amount more. In the Test of the Champion drug-free Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed ss; like drug-free wheat separating from drugged chaff, the drug-free cream rose to the top. Easy Goer ran drug-free in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, which banned all performance enhancing drugs; while the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss got exposed badly & romped when he was forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. The great drug-free Hall of Fame champion Easy Goer showed the world how to obliterate the drug-reliant sunday silence. The litmus test of a champion is running & winning drug-less without any performance enhancing drugs; & during that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs. Plus, as importantly, New York banned & didn't allow the criminal juicer doper veterinarian of ss Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally doping/juicing an endless amount of horses] to perform his magic & juice the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss. During that era, it was a huge credit to NY [& the rest of the whole world] that the endless amount of their championship G1 races stood as humongous, gigantic obstacles to drug-dependent horses like ss; & these horses, like ss & many others, got exposed badly when they were forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. ONLY no-drugs drug-free races were/are true championship races. Only the drug-free no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. No-drug races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drug races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the narrowest of margins to the drug-reliant ss, ss needed all of his performance enhancing drugs administered to him & still only beat him by the slimmest of margins. Plus, The drug-free Easy Goer won G1 races at 7f, 1 mile, 9f, 10f & 12f drug-free with much less time & rest between races & ran many more races at more fluctuating, different distances in faster times with far superior speed figures & performance ratings; while the drug-reliant ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with his ped drugs & much more time & rest between races & ran far less races. And most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illicit, illegal performance enhancing drugs to ss. I quote the DRF for the factual truths: "Harthill, toward the end of his life, was BOLD ENOUGH to tell Jay Hovdey of the Daily Racing Form how he illegally gave numerous horses (including Clenbuterol to SS) illegal drugs. Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex Harthill ADMITTED illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. In DRF articles in recent years & in the last few years of his life, SSilence's vet Alex Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing bronchodilator clenbuterol regularly in the 1980's 15 years before it was approved by the FDA on his horses, INCLUDING using it on sunday silence. SS's vet Alex Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it to Sunday Silence, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. The drug Clenbuterol has a similar effect on the body as epinephrine & amphetamines by increasing the production of epinephrine & noradrenaline & thus significantly enhancing performance; clenbuterol also thins blood & widens the vessels that carry oxygen, so the volume of oxygen in the blood increases & thus significantly increases energy & thus significantly enhances performance; plus clenbuterol dramatically reduces body fat by causing rapid fat burning. The drug Clenbuterol performed miracles for horses who made inexplicable improvements with major enhancements in performance. Some of Harthill's other favorite magic making performance enhancing drugs were Etorphine (infinitely more powerful than the aspirin-like bute), Banamine (5 times more powerful than the aspirin-like bute) & Sublimaze. The drugs Etorphine & Sublimaze are drugs that give horses such a sense of euphoria & well-being that they feel like they don’t have legs. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of controlled drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers & very strong amphetamines, etc. Alex Harthill & raceday performance enhancing drugs have led to the destruction of integrity in North American racing.

Easy Goer's record three year old mile of all time in 1:32.2, thrashing Secretariat's record by one full second and a tick off Dr. Fager's world record, and this devastating,monster,second fastest Belmont Stakes of all time, are the two greatest performances by any horse since Spectacular Bid in 1980, and Easy Goer's 89'Whitney and Travers are truly not far of these two performances.

"Easy Goer was a horse who caused horsemen and fans to enter into their thoughts the phrase, 'the most perfect horse you can imagine.' Easy Goer was large but not too large. He was elegant but not dainty. He was powerful but not gross. In short, Easy Goer had it all. Well, he had it all if you were willing to overlook the puffy ankles, clubfoot, turned-out left knee and short pasterns that challenged everything you thought you knew about proper conformation. However, one had only to see the fluidity of his motion to factor out the conformation faults. To the aesthete taking in the whole rather than haggling over the parts, the dictionary simply proved inadequate: Easy Goer was not just perfect, he was 'damned perfect.' Easy Goer was Adonis-like, the closest thing physically to Secretariat. He was plagued by problematic ankles his entire career, but was placed upon a throne at an early age and justified all the adoration. Easy Goer was a glowing chestnut with a fluid stride that belied his conformation flaws. Conformation blemishes notwithstanding, Easy Goer had the look of eagles and the stamp of greatness on him, and he ran to his looks." -- Ed Bowen & Steve Haskin.

You should see that years 1989 Epson Derby winner Nashwan, quite simular in many ways.

What a Hall-of-Fame champion Easy Goer was! During those times, it was to New York's credit [being the ONLY state in the entire country that banned all drugs] that the Belmont Stakes and numerous other big championship G1 races stood as huge obstacles to drug-dependent horses. Back then, New York was alone in the entire US and was the only state that had the courage to ban all drugs. Of the over 200 horses in the Hall of Fame, ALL but 5 ran in New York, all but 5 ran in many big championship Grade I races in New York. That's 99% of ALL Hall of Fame horses. And that includes a large amount of horses who ran from the 1980's through the present. New York's no-drug rules during those times kept the outcomes crystal clear. New York's refusal to allow drugs during those times was a major factor in keeping New York's major races the true tests of champions. New York was the ONLY state in the entire country during those times that didn't allow ANY drugs. New York didn't allow horses to race on ANY drugs during those times, while the rest of the country did. New York banned and prohibited all race-day drugs. Only New York, among all of the nation's racing jurisdictions, forbade the use of all drugs on horses while racing. It was to New York's credit that the Belmont Stakes and numerous other big championship G1 races stood as huge obstacles to drug-dependent horses. Winning any big race on drugs was-is not what racing is about, and they were commonly and legally used in all the sport's most prestigious races run outside New York. Only the drug-free races could-can be called championship events. A large amount of connections would NOT run in drug-less NY, and the ones that did had MOST of their horses exposed when they ran in drug-free medication-free NY. Most of these trainers decisions not to run was influenced mostly by New York's no-drug rules more than anything else. The connections of many many top horses, including Summer Squall, Best Pal, Dance Smartly, Hollywood Wildcat, Tight Spot, Paseana, Blushing John, Lost Code, Desert Wine, Snow Chief, Wild Again, Tank's Prospect, Skywalker, King Glorious, Spend a Buck, Great Communicator, Infinidad, Capote, Sunny's Halo, Gate Dancer, The Wicked North, Suave Prospect, Tejano Run, Lil E. Tee, et al, freely admitted that their horses could not compete in top company without the drugs, and never [or very rarely] ran them in the big championship races in drug-free New York. In doing that, they came clean with the fans, bettors, breeders, et al. These horses trainers and connections would pass up these drug free races, and if they ran in them they were often exposed for what they were by not running well and-or getting beaten decisively; if that was not already apparent from them having skipped [and-or not run well and-or getting beaten decisively] most of these drug-free championship races. Hall of Fame Champions are born, made, based and-or trained anywhere in the world, but most American Hall of Fame champions are still crowned having run in the major races in New York. Belmont Park was, is and will always be "The Championship Track" because nearly every major American champion - and Hall of Famer - in racing history has competed on the racetrack [Saratoga also], and because it's by far the fairest with the best horse mostly always winning. West-coast based Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens says, "Belmont Park is by far the fairest track in America. If you’re on the best horse, you have plenty of room to navigate. The best horse almost always wins at Belmont Park." West-coast based Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas says, "It's not even close. Belmont is the fairest of all American tracks. The track is big, and you don't get jammed up like you do on most other tracks because of the tighter turns. And speed, tactical speed, versatility and handiness are still needed at Belmont Park. While a horse can win with any style at Belmont, there is a false perception that in the "The Test of the Champion" Belmont Stakes - or at Belmont in general - that you can come from left field and run down tired horses in front. But the truth is you really have to be in the mix and show speed and tactical speed. You really need to be on or near the lead within striking distance, and-or have tactical speed and not drop too far out of it." West-coast based Hall of Fame rider Laffit Pincay says, "Belmont Park is the best by far. Everything is perfect-it's just a wonderful track. The big wide track is great for horses." West-coast based Hall of Fame rider Bill Shoemaker, "Belmont Park, it's ideal. Belmont Park has the best track with it's fine surface and size. It's wide and wonderful. Big, wide sweeping turns and long straightaways. Riders and horses seldom bunch and jam, and a horse can run the turns as fast as the straightaways."

Easy Goer was a majestic red flash who ran like the wind. If it went by race times Easy Goer would most likely be ranked the second best three year old of all time behind only Secretariat. Easy Goer ---- fastest mile of all time by any three year old in a record 1:32; second fastest "Test-of-a-Champion" Belmont Stakes behind only Secretariat; near record at six and a half furlongs; fastest seven furlongs of the year in Florida; top five fastest Champagne's of all time at a mile; near records in the nine furlong Whitney, ten furlong Travers and ten furlong Suburban, and all top five fastest Whitney, Travers and Suburban's; the only horse in history to win the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Woodward, Belmont, Travers and Whitney; the only three year old to win the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Woodward and Whitney while besting older peers in all three of them, with the other two Hall of Fame champions to accomplish this triple being older horses. His scarce, slim losses also were exceptional, he was never defeated by much.

Hall of Famer Easy Goer ala Secretariat, ala Dr Fager, ran the top five fastest runnings' of the Belmont Stakes, Champagne, Gotham, Whitney, Travers, Suburban, and even in very close losses in the Preakness and Classic to another Hall of Famer Sunday Silence, fastest 7 furlongs of the year in Florida, near track record at 6 and a half furlongs. What a dynamo!

@@sigscorpion9275 Everything you spew out are all utter lies. First of all, The FACTS are that the drug-reliant & illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence was extremely unsound, infirm, had breathing problems & had numerous deformities, & that was why he needed all of his illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine, etc) illegally administered to him by the illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill (who admitted to illegally administering many illegal performance enhancing drugs to ss). Plus ss died of both the unsound, infirm foot disease & heart failure, both of which prove all the aforementioned & also were the results of the proven drug use during his racing career. Even ss' offspring needed the same ped bronchodilator drugs, etc, & were dq'd because of it. And ss's mother Wishing Well & female family, & ss's sire Halo & Halo's descendants were noted for being extremely unsound, infirm, bleeders, breathing problems, numerous deformities, etc, & needing drugs. Halo's offspring & descendants SS, Sunny's Halo, Devil's Bag, Glorious Song, St Ballado, Jolie's Halo, Lively One, Present Value, Southern Halo, etc, were noted for being extremely unsound, infirm, bleeders, breathing problems, numerous deformities, etc, & needing drugs. 2nd of all, The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer ran the vast majority of his races in the ONLY state in the entire country at the time which banned ALL drugs (as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Harthill as well), so EG was FORCED to run completely DRUG-Free ; & the owners were Jockey Club Chairmen & the staunchest opponents of any & all drugs so they also never ran him with any drugs at all when they ran outside the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs. During that era, the DRF listed all of these drug-use (ss was listed that he was given Lasix, Banamine, Bute, etc; while EG was listed as NOT given any, NONE at all) & non-drug-use FACTS for all races outside the only state in the entire USA at the time which banned all drugs. 3rd of all, The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer did NOT die at all because of cancer nor multiple organ failure nor because of a heart attack nor soundness problems; the autopsy showed that EG died of an allergic reaction to an AIRBORNE ALLERGEN (NOT any drugs at all), which actually PROVES he not only was NOT on any drugs at all, he also was NOT given any drugs at all during his race career. Cancer did not kill EG & would not have been fatal. Plus, Cancer is NOT caused by drug-use, cancer is caused by tobacco use (obviously not in horses), smoking (ditto), excessive alcohol drinking (ditto), bad diet, being overweight (some stallions are overweight), lack of exercise (stallions still get exercise), a number of different infections & viruses (not relating to drugs at all), sexually transmitted diseases (not drugs at all), bacterial (not drugs at all), parasites (not drugs at all), radiation (not relating to drugs at all), inherited genetically (DNA/hereditary/family history of it - not relating to drugs at all), environmental/air pollution/pollutants (not relating to drugs at all), asbestos (not drugs at all) in stables/buildings, too much exposure to direct sunlight/ultraviolet light (not drugs at all) etc. "Horses are exposed to many of the same things as humans so they develop cancer for many of the same reasons. Environmental toxins, second-hand cigarette smoke, radiation, UV rays, pollutants, viral infections, std's, bacterias, parasites, bad diet/food, lack of exercise, being overweight, digestion, all can cause cancer in horses - NONE of which are at all related to any drugs." Plus, cancer did not cause EG's death anyways, an allergic reaction to an airborne allergen caused EG's death. Multiple G1 winning Champion Lost in the Fog died at ONLY age FOUR of inoperable cancer all over his body with "multiple organ failures". Multiple G1 winning Champion Dubai Millennium died at ONLY age 5 with multiple organ failures of his whole body system. Multiple G1 winning Champion Landaluce died at ONLY age TWO of "multiple organ failures". Multiple G1 winner Sardula died at ONLY age THREE of multiple organ failures. Multiple G1 winning Champion Arrogate died at ONLY age SEVEN with multiple neurological organ failures. Multiple G1 winning champion Summer Bird died at ONLY age SEVEN of colic & multiple organ failures. Hall of Famer Phar Lap died at ONLY age SIX of multiple organ failure. Hall of Famer Sysonby died at ONLY age FOUR with multiple organ failures. Hall of Famer Billy Kelly died at only age 10 of heart disease & multiple organ failures. Hall of Famer Pan Zareta died at ONLY age EIGHT of pneumonia & multiple organ failures. Ditto Graded stakes winners Code of Honor, Scat Daddy, Pioneerofthenile, Laoban, Left Bank, Peteski, Pensive, Midnight Bourbon, Medina Spirit, Strolling Along, Gamely, Swale, Exbourne, Hoist the Flag & an endless amount of others. So much for all of that.

Easy Goer amazingly ran a faster Ragozin speed figure in this Belmont Stakes than Secretariat ran in his Belmont Stakes. Easy Goer's track was much slower, and Easy Goer was four wide or so around the whole way. Amazing! And his record mile performance was also beyond greatness! Easy Goer's still-standing record mile in 1:32:2 breaking Secretariat's record by a full second; and just one-fifth off Dr. Fager's hallowed world record! Absolutely phenomenal brilliance! "What Easy Goer did was something special. One of the best performances of all-time." 'In an effort so brilliant and stunning it will never be forgotten by anyone fortunate enough to witness it, Easy Goer went beyond mere brilliance, winning Aqueduct's Gotham Stakes in 1:32 2/5, only one-fifth of a second slower than Dr. Fager's world record for a mile and a full second faster than Triple Crown winner Secretariat's stakes record. Easy Goer did it so effortlessly that he appeared capable of running far faster, a startling thought considering he is a 3-year-old and well away from his prime. Easy Goer, who won by 13 lengths, also broke the track record by four-fifths of a second. His unofficial gallop-out time in the Gotham, 1:45 4/5 for 1 1/8 miles, was 1 1/5 seconds faster than Riva Ridge's track record and only two fifths of a second slower than Secretariat's former world record on dirt.' "Easy Goer was the best horse I ever rode. He was the most talented and he had a big engine and a lot of heart and desire. He did what he did with continuing ailments. He ran awfully fast and would just explode; he would actually feel like he was going to come right through the bridle; he was like a shot out of a cannon; tremendous speed, stamina, versatility, and brilliant acceleration and turn of foot.

Exactly, something most can't comprehend! Four track records were set the same day Big Red won. The track was very packed and fast, s you know speeds up the horse.

No drugs allowed. Larger track. Easy Goer wasn't getting beat in races with no drugs allowed; and Easy Goer wasn't getting beat in races on larger tracks, bigger tracks with a circumference larger than a mile.

Easy Goer is Horsepower!

"Racing should be filled with SUPERIOR horses like EASY GOER, who did NOT require ANY drugs to perform at his best, & NOT INFERIOR DRUG-RELIANT horses like SUNDAY SILENCE, so we focus our attention on the sport instead of drugs. Could Sunday Silence beat Easy Goer without drugs? Could Sunday Silence win without drugs? He gave definitive & assertive replies to the questions: NO. Sunday Silence struggled home edging Le Voyageur but was thoroughly beaten, as the splendid Easy Goer sprinted off with the Belmont Stakes. Sunday Silence had been TREATED WITH DRUGS in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders' Cup Classic when edging Easy Goer, but couldn't for the Belmont Stakes in New York, the one state where all drugs are banned. Easy Goer was free from all of the controversies about drugs, for ALL DRUGS are prohibited in New York, as they are in the rest of the racing world outside the US. The key questions that influenced racing all year was: Could Sunday Silence beat Easy Goer without drugs? Could Sunday Silence win without drugs? He gave definitive & assertive replies to the questions: NO. Sunday Silence struggled home edging Le Voyageur but was thoroughly beaten, as the splendid Easy Goer sprinted off with the Belmont Stakes. Racing should be filled with SUPERIOR horses like EASY GOER, who did NOT require ANY drugs to perform at his best, & NOT INFERIOR DRUG-RELIANT horses like SUNDAY SILENCE, so we focus our attention on the sport instead of drugs. Racing wears drugs like festering, self-inflicted wounds on the end of its nose opened by the ax of greed & stamped with the endorsements of every racing commission in the nation except New York's. Racing's drug dependency, like any drug problem, has become a major problem & tarnished the sport. It is to New York's merit & acclaim that their major races stand as giant hurdles to drug-reliant horses. Winning major races on drugs is not what racing is about."

"Grace blended with extraordinary speed, great power and phenomenal stamina in as fine a resemblance of Secretariat as we can recall." William Leggett of the Thoroughbred Record, on Easy Goer.

Easy Goer HAS to be the most undearated horse of the 20th century. What he did in his 3 year old year has not been duplicated by any other horse. Funny that Hawkster was also running. He didn't finish at the top, but later that year, he ran against older horses at Santa Anita on grass and set a world record at 12 furlongs of 2:22.4. Horse racing can be very crazy.

Easy Goer broke very badly in the Breeders Cup Classic and was last until they got on the back straight. He was drifting wide on the final turn and Pat Day fought with him and Easy completely broke stride. All I can say is that Pat Day panicked when Easy got behind. If he had rode him with the same confidence he had in the Whitney I believe the outcome would have been different.

I think he damn sure was a better horse than sunday silence, Look at easy goers timings through his carear and, look at sunday silences' The two times sunday silence beat him he beat him no more than even 1 length and, where it was more fare and, square with those 2 huge sweeping turns at belmont easy goer beat him by 8 lengths. Trust me had easy goer not got hurt so much, maybe top 6 of all-times. He was one of my very favorites, So sad he died so young at 9 of cancer. He was a great horsey no doubt.

It was all done ILLEGALLY by ss - the illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill of the drug-reliant ss admitted to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine, etc) to ss. "That the drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the superior, better horse than the drug-reliant & criminal cheater veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss is officially as clear as day." In the Test of the Champion drug-free Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed ss; like wheat separating from chaff, the cream rose to the top. Easy Goer ran drug-free in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, which banned all performance enhancing drugs; while the drug-reliant & illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant ss got exposed badly & romped when he was forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. The Litmus Test of a Champion is running & winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs; & during that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs. Plus, as importantly, New York banned the illegal criminal vet of ss Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally drugging an endless amount of horses]. During that era, it was a huge credit to NY [& the rest of the whole world] that the endless amount of their championship G1 races stood as humongous, gigantic obstacles to drug-reliant horses like ss; & these horses, like ss & many others, got exposed badly when they were forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. ONLY no-drugs drug-free races were/are true championship races. Only the drug-free no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. No-drug races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drug races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the narrowest of margins to the drug-reliant ss, ss needed all of his performance enhancing drugs administered to him & still only beat him by the slimmest of margins. Plus, The drug-free Easy Goer won G1 races at 7f, 1 mile, 9f, 10f & 12f drug-free with much less time & rest between races & ran many more races at more fluctuating, different distances in faster times with far superior speed figures & performance ratings; while the drug-reliant ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with his ped drugs & much more time & rest between races & ran far less races. And most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Etorphine, Sublimaze, etc) to ss. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was just better than the drug-dependent & illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence. Harthill confessed to DRF's Hovdey of illegally giving illegal ped drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine, etc) to ss; but he couldn't do so in the only state (NY) in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal vet Harthill as well. The criminal vet of ss, Alex Harthill, confessed in 2001 to DRF's Jay Hovdey, to illegally administering illegal ped drugs to sunday silence (plus many other horses), including the significantly powerful potent performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol (an extraordinary drug with 2 completely different effects that dramatically & greatly enhance performance & significantly enhance speed, stamina, endurance, lung capacity & energy levels; it greatly aids breathing by significantly expanding the air passages in the lungs letting air flow much more freely, & it causes rapid fat burning significantly decreasing fat; it also has a similar effect on the body as Epinephrine & Amphetamines by increasing the production of Epinephrine & Noradrenaline, & thus significantly enhancing performance: it also thins blood & widens the vessels that carry oxygen, so the volume of oxygen in the blood increases, & thus significantly increases energy, & thus significantly enhances performance), Sublimaze (A Potent Narcotic So powerful that it makes horses feel like they don't even have legs, & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute), Etorphine (An Opiate 80,000 Times More Powerful than Morphine - So powerful that it also makes horses feel like they don't even have legs, & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute), & Banamine (5 times more powerful than the aspirin Bute, & provides significantly more potent pain relief than aspirin Bute & is far superior for relief of pain than aspirin Bute). Besides Harthill admitting it, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. Harthill only admitted to administering the illegal ped drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine & Banamine to Sunday Silence, & not Lasix (which was legal in every state in the US except NY back then anyways; but ss was listed as being administered Lasix in the DRF in all races outside drug-free NY); & it should also be noted Lasix is a potent diuretic & the main drug which masks & flushes other banned drugs; plus it reduces body weight by 16 to 25lbs, & the study of 23k races showed Lasix gives a significant 6 length performance enhancement. Case closed.

Easy Goer was a freak. Easy Goer ran all these historic races(many of them had over 100 runnings) in the top 1 to 5 fastest of all time: Belmont Stakes at 12f , Gotham at 8f, Whitney at 9f, Travers at 10f, Champagne at 8f, Suburban at 10f, including the fastest mile of all time by any 3 yr old in 1:32:2, the second fastest Belmont of all time with only Secretariat ever faster, and in addition running right on the track record at 6.5f at 2, and the fastest 7f of the year in Florida. A freak

The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion & Eclipse Award Champion was Easy Goer; the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant was sunday silence.

Easy Goer-A Phenom From Sprint to Mile to Classic to Stamina Distances. Since the Genesis of the Breed, No 3YO Has Ever Run a Faster Mile than Easy Goer's 1:32 2/5.

This race alone showcased just how much better 1 horse can be over the other...This is why Easy Goer was the favorite in 3 out of 4 meetings and most likely would have been the favorite again if they met for the 5th time at Arlington like planned..Easy Goer also had a much better overall resume setting track records and close to track records in numerous performances..Also at distances from 6 1/F to 12F...Sunday Silence was 1 of those horses that just had Easy Goers number a few times due to circumstances of the races..Sunday Silence was a great horse in his own right though..

Easy Goer was so phenomenally & conspicuously talented, so dominant & remarkable despite problematic ankles", with his mammoth and giant performances at all distances he ran, "not only invited, but insisted on him being mentioned with all time greats."

Sunday Silence was no fluke and his success as a sire proves that. Easy Goer was however a much more versatile horse who performed equally well at varying distances. His Gotham Stakes record is a track record for a mile and 2nd fastest mile ever run on dirt after Fager, the 1 1/2 Belmont is the second fastest ever run after Sec. SS only defeated him in 9.5-10f races, and EG was always closing at the finish. Imagine if SS had been born another year, EG would've won the 3yo Triple Crown, the Travers, Whitney, Woodward, Jockey Gold Cup, and BC Classic all in the same year. Even so this was one of the greatest 3yo campaigns by any horse ever.

Samuel Pérez García Let's look at it. Easy Goer ran a still standing (over 26 years & counting) record mile in 1:32 & change (fastest mile of all time by any 3 yr old) , ran the second fastest Belmont Stakes of all time behind only Secretariat, - ran among the fastest versions of many momentous races (Whitney, Travers, Belmont, Champagne, Suburban, Gotham, near 6 1/2 furlong record at age 2, fastest 7 furlongs of the year in Florida) at all distances. Easy Goer also ran a historic, strenuous, toilsome 3 yr old campaign (Belmont, Whitney, Travers, Woodward, Jockey Club Gold Cup etc). As delclub points out about head to head records (they don't tell all) - Kelso (lost three of four to Beau Purple), Citation (lost four of five to Noor), Forego (lost two of three to Big Spruce), John Henry (lost two of three to Interco), Dr Fager, Damascus, Skip Away (lost four of six to F. Gold), Sir Barton (lost many to Bill Kelly), Round Table, Gallant Man, Whirlaway, Swaps/Nashua, Majestic Prince/Arts & Letters & many other greats also lost a few races to the same rival horse. Secretariat lost THREE big races to 3 different inferior horses in Onion, Angle Light & Prove Out. Who was 'better' is nonobjective & intuitive, but they both clearly were great Hall of Fame champs. Easy Goer was inches away (Preakness) from it being a level, even 2 to 2 (four races are a small sample) when opposing SS in direct competition (yes it still was 3-1 SS), but Easy Goer had a superior career resum'e and accomplished and achieved more in his career. Easy Goer ran 1:53 4/5 for 9.5f in Maryland, and ran 2:00 1/5 for 10f in Florida, losing by inches and a neck in these races. Easy Goer also ran the fastest 7 furlongs of the year in Florida in 1989. Easy Goer ran 17 of his 20 total races in New York or Florida. This is a Hall of Fame champion (SS was also) who didn't have any problem at all with shipping to other states and other tracks. He did specifically despise the quirky, peanut buttery, sticky Churchill mud and seemed to flounder in it being a huge, extremely powerful horse with chronically bad, puffy ankles, though his talent, class and ability landed him 2nd's in those races. Though EG won & ran great in mud elsewhere. He was among many great horses (Skip Away, Point Given, Go For Wand, Holy Bull, etc) who hated Churchill, however he never ran over a fast track there. I don't think it was about states, surfaces or shipping at all. They BOTH had to ship for the 3 TC races and the BC. Easy Goer ran many more races (and ran a much more strenuous post Triple Crown campaign) and also never got beat by more than 2 lengths (also never finishing off the board) in his career. SS had a much less strenuous post Triple Crown campaign. You can also look at the timing, distance and spacing of the so called prep races. Easy Goer ran a record mile in the Gotham, then 2 weeks later won the Wood Memorial, then only 2 weeks later was the start of the Triple Crown races (total of 5 races in 9 weeks). SS ran his last Derby prep 4 weeks out. EG also ran in the 1 1/2 mile Jockey Club in his 'prep' for the BC (after the Whitney, Travers, & Woodward, and defeated older horses conceding weight in a few of them), while SS had one easy three yr old 10f prep in the 3 months leading into the BC. But to me, It was most likely much more about track circumferences. Easy Goer did win on ALL the track circumferences of USA dirt tracks (1 mile, 1 1/8 mile, 1 1/2 mile). EG was an Undefeated 5 for 5 over 1 1/8 miles tracks at all distances. SS did not win over all tracks. In fact, SS lost 3 races over larger 1 1/8 tracks (at his HOME track of Hollywood) and lost his 1 race over a 1 1/2 mile track by 8 lengths. EG's record over mile tracks (4 losses though narrow losses) was very similar to SS's record over 1 1/8 or larger tracks (SS lost 4 races over 1 1/8 or bigger tracks). Based on these facts (EG being undefeated over 1 1/8 mile tracks, while SS lost 3 races over 1 1/8 mile tracks), Easy Goer actually would have had an advantage running against SS at Hollywood Park (a larger 1 1/8 mile oval) in California. SS would have had an advantage at the smaller Santa Anita track in Cal. Easy Goer also would have had an advantage running over 1 1/8 mile tracks (or larger), regardless of state or region, in: Florida (Hialeah Park), Chicago (Arlington Park, where they were supposed to meet at age 4), Hollywood (California), Atlantic City (NJ), Saratoga (NY), Aqueduct (NY), Laurel Park (Maryland), Keeneland (KY), Ellis Park (KY), Colonial (Va.), Belmont (NY), and the current Gulfstream in Florida is also NOW a larger 1 1/8 mile oval. SS would have had an advantage of running against EG in NY if they ran at the mile oval in Finger Lakes.

I know Easy Goer's resume very well, I admire both horses. In fact, I think those two have been the best American colts of the last 30 years or so. What strikes me as odd is how Easy Goer fans place him on such an incredibly high pedestal while casually dismissing the horse that beat him 75% of the time, as if all those wins were flukes, or (the favorite excuse) due to bad rides by Pat Day. You yourself point out how Secretariat was beaten three times by INFERIOR horses, as if to justify why the "superior" Easy Goer could lose three times to Sunday Silence (yes, I know you gave SS credit earlier, but the Secretariat example sounded bad). He was a great horse. He was also a physical freak that could withstand a hell of a lot more punishment than the puny Sunday Silence, which is why, while having comparable skills, Easy Goer could take a tougher campaign than Sunday Silence. Yet that would be akin to declaring Nolan Ryan superior to Pedro Martinez because of their physiques. In my mind, the only true advantage of Easy Goer over Sunday Silence was that build. Else, their pros and cons basically even out, with SS having the slight edge on their meetings.

Samuel Pérez García Physically, Easy Goer had just as many horrible physical deformities that SS had - Easy Goer had terrible, puffy, very problematic ankles, clubfeet, a crooked left leg, bad knees, bad shins, cracks in feet, etc (I'll provide the link at the bottom) and his massive frame made all these deformities much more difficult to withstand. I don't casually dismiss SS at all. But, I think many casually dismiss the rivals (Noor, Beau Purple, Sunday, Damascus, Interco, Big Spruce, Billy Kelly, Nashua, Arts and Letters, F. Gold, Summer Squall, Star of Cozzene) who were either ahead or tied in head to heads with Citation, Easy Goer, Kelso, Forego, John Henry, Sir Barton, Dr Fager, Unbridled, Skip Away, Kotashaan, Swaps, Majestic Prince, etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easy_Goer

Terri Bey Terri Bey, Good points. However Terri, you did say on another Easy Goer video, "There is NO DOUBT in my mind that Easy Goer was the better horse."

Les also remember that During this Race New York was the Only state in the Country who did not allow race day drugs...The Vet for Sunday Silence was not Allowed near his Horse...The rest is History

The Hall of Fame is by far easily the most "definitive record of racing greats." The Hall of Fame is the ultimate honor for any horse. And even with these facts, the Hall of Fame is still "subjective, significantly varied opinions and bias." Regarding HOY and other awards: "The arguing, in fact, is about the most solid substance we have when it comes to HOY. There is only one rule governing what constitutes a potential HOY − that the horse has started at least once in North America - and guidelines have never been more specific than that. Form an opinion and send in your ballot. That is all that is asked of the voters regarding Award winners." "There are no rules and no definitions governing the voters regarding HOY and other awards. People really need to understand that it’s just a subjective decision. It’s always going to be subjective, and it doesn’t diminish the achievements of horses that are not awarded. It's a fraught venture. The HOY and awards are not even official national awards as racing has no national governing body.” Majestic Prince was 2-1 head to head over Arts and Letters, yet Arts and Letters was "HOY." Noor was 4-1 head to head over Citation, yet Hill Prince was "HOY." Omaha won the Triple Crown, yet Discovery was "HOY." Dedicate, who won 3 stakes in 1957, shared "HOY" with Bold Ruler, who won many more stakes that year beating superior competition. 2 year old Favorite Trick was "HOY" over a host of far more accomplished older horses in Formal Gold, Gentlemen and Skip Away. Formal Gold was 4-2 head to head over Skip Away, yet Skip Away won the other "award" for older horse. Seattle Slew romped over Affirmed twice, Slew was 2-0 head to head over Affirmed, yet Affirmed was "HOY." Both Precisionist and Turkoman both romped over Lady's Secret, yet Lady's Secret was "HOY." Bayern was 2-1 head to head over California Chrome, yet Chrome was "HOY." Star of Cozzene was 3-0 head to head over Kotashaan, yet Kotashaan was "HOY." Numerous other hugely subjective, very varied opinions and bias including Moccasin and Roman Brother; John Henry and Slew o' Gold; Nashua and Swaps; Capot and Coaltown; Personality and Fort Marcy; One Count and Native Dancer; and an endless amount more.

As far as the Test of a Champion Belmont Stakes is concerned, there is Secretariat and Easy Goer! And Easy Goer's Ragozin and Thorograph speed figure and performance rating was actually faster than Secretariat's because the track was playing much slower and he was 4 to 5 wide around the entire track.

Easy Goer ran so many of these mammoth, devastating, massive performances at all distances he ran, sprinting, mile, classic and stamina. "Easy Goer was so conspicuously talented, so dominant and brilliant in spite of horrible ankles, his performances at all distances insisted upon being mentioned with the all time greats."

Easy Goer was also my favorite horse of all time. What a class horse with incredible stamina. Its a shame they were not more aggressive with him, imo, would have won the triple crown. Sunday Silence was a great horse but Easy was just getting started by the time those short races were over. Watching him just blow away SS on the stretch of the Belmont was one of the most impressive performances of all time. Its like when they were even, coming up on the stretch, Easy 3 wide looked sunday in the eye and said, "you got nothing"...left him in the dust.

Easy Goer - Sunday Silence were two great ones indeed. To me they were much more similar to Damascus - Dr. Fager, Nashua - Swaps, Arts and Letters - Majestic Prince. All only ran against each other in a very insubstantial, minimal amount of races; just a few races.

I believe Easy Goer had the most talent and the most ability of any horse since Secretariat. He ran many colossal, mammoth, gigantic performances at every distance he ran.

Easy Goer, Superb, excellent and marvelous shows and feats throughout his career.

if you watched Frosteds last win in the met mile..that would be how Easy Goer would be demolishing all the top competition of today if he were around - and of course like this race as well

Bloodhorse 1999 article on Easy Goer: "Easy Goer MET and fulfilled those dreams and expectations embodied in his powerful chestnut frame, and authored an unforgettable Hall of Fame champions career, and he is MENTIONED in the same breath with the GREATEST horses of ALL TIME."I agree PhippsStable.His performances at every distance they sent him out were some of the fastest runnings of all time at every distance:Gotham(8f),Champagne(8f),Belmont(12f),Whitney(9f),Travers(10f),Suburban(10f) & 6.5f,7f

Easy Goer was type of horse that had the entire racing industry excited and in awe - This race just showed off how powerful this horse was - too bad he suffered from severe ankle and hoove issues thoughout his career..or he prob would have went down as best horse of all time - definitely one of the most TALENTED atleast

Gee, who knows had easy goer not had those bad ankles, maybe he would have been horse of the year 5 or 6 times. Kelso almost did it the 6th time but, got hurt and, missed two important stake races he almost won. It's hard to say easy goer would been greater than kelso or, man of war but, who knows had he not had those bad ankles maybe he would have been the greatest of all-times. I think he was not only better than sunday silence he was better than alot of horses as it was, now imagine a sound easy goer. Bless his heart, man, he was only 9 when he died from cancer after going thriugh pain from his ankles for years. He is to be revered. He sure was a dandy as it was. KELSOS' BIGGEST FAN.

Pat Day ran him with Confidence in this race---- he never let SS get out more than a length-- his mistake in the Preakness and Breeders Cup in 1989. RIP Easy.

Yea, you don't hold back a great horse.

The Drug-free Eclipse Award Champion & Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer will always be the Drug-Free Eclipse Award Champion and Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion, and the most coveted honor and prize, by far, is being inducted in the Hall of Fame, and Easy Goer did it drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs; while the drug-reliant and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence needed and was administered performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, etc) to barely beat the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins in a few races. When ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs (and without ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill) in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs - and as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well - ss was Crushed by the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer. And as importantly ss's veterinarian Alex Harthill fully voluntarily admitted that he administered illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, etc) to ss; but Harthill could NOT do so in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs - and as importantly banned the illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. The 3-1 means as much or as little as Noor 4, Triple Crown winner Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Hall of Fame Champion & 5 time HOY Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Triple Crown winner Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Hall of Fame Champion & 3 time HOY Forego 1; Cabrini Green 4, Hall of Fame Champion & 2 time HOY John Henry 0; Darby Creek Road 3, Hall of Fame Champion & 2 time HOY John Henry 0; Gallant Bloom 4, Shuvee 1; Damascus 2, Dr Fager 2; Akureyri 3, Eclipse Award Champion Pleasant Colony 1; Formal Gold 4, Hall of Fame Champion & HOY Skip Away 2; Billy Kelly 8, Triple Crown winner Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Eclipse Award Champion Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, HOY & Eclipse Award Champion California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, HOY & Eclipse Award Champion Kotashaan 1; and an endless amount of others. The Classic Distance for the whole world is 12f, but Easy Goer won G1's drug-free at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f and 12f with much less time and rest between races and ran many more career races; while the drug-reliant and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence only won G1's with drugs at 9f to 10f with much more time and rest between races and ran far less career races. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer's body of work & career accomplishments are far superior to ss's as well.

Outside of Secretariat you Could Line Easy Goer up against ANY Horse in a Field and He Would have a VERY Legit chance to Beat them...That goes for Affirmed/Bid/Slew/Ghostzapper or Any other Great Horse you want to name...Easy Goer was just as Naturally Talented as them if not more

The NY zero tolerance policy during that era was because the drug test results would be a clear “yes” or “no,” without having to quibble about concentrations (amounts) in a sample. In all of the other states, almost all drugs were allowed & almost all of their tests were amounts/thresholds of drugs. Proof positive.

Nope, totally wrong. This is NOT hearsay, this is the complete OPPOSITE of hearsay. When the illegal criminal veterinarian of the drug-reliant sunday silence, Alex Harthill, VOLUNTARILY and Fully ADMITS and CONFESSES to illegally administering illegal performance enhancing drugs to the drug-reliant sunday silence, his voluntary full admission/confession are clearly and undoubtedly confirmed, verified, certifiable facts, truths and proof. Harthill actually CONFESSED/ADMITTED it to Hovdey/DRF. A full voluntary confession/admission carries ALL WEIGHT. Besides Harthill confessing/admitting it to Hovdey/DRF, there are the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. The ONLY state in the entire country during that era that BOTH BANNED AND TESTED for ALL drugs was New York - and as importantly, NY also BANNED ss's criminal cheater vet Alex Harthill. So the drug-reliant and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant ss was FORCED to run drug-free with no drugs at all (and without his criminal cheater vet Alex Harthill) only one time in one race in his whole career - in which he not only got crushed by the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer, but ss barely beat Le Voyageur (who never won even one stake race his whole career) because ss was forced to run drug-free in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs and also banned the criminal cheater vet Alex Harthill. Plus, back in those days in the Daily Racing Form Newspapers Past Performances, the DRF published for every horse in every race OUTSIDE New York who was administered the powerful performance enhancing diuretics (Furosemide, etc) & powerful painkillers (Banamine, etc) and they were listed in every daily DRF. ss was listed as being administered the drugs, while EG was listed as NOT being administered any drugs at all. EG's owners were Chairmen of the Jockey Club & were the staunchest opponents of drugs & ran their horses without any drugs even when running outside drug-free NY based on integrity and practicing what they preached. I will quote verbatim from the 2002 Jay Hovdey DRF newspaper article: "Harthill, toward the end of his life, was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me how he illegally gave numerous horses (including Clenbuterol to Sunday Silence) illegal performance enhancing drugs. Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol regularly in the 1980's 15 years before it was approved by the FDA on his horses, INCLUDING administering it to Sunday Silence. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's and illegally administered it to Sunday Silence, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. The drug Clenbuterol has a similar effect on the body as epinephrine & amphetamines by increasing the production of epinephrine and noradrenaline, and thus significantly enhancing performance; Clenbuterol also thins blood & widens the vessels that carry oxygen, so the volume of oxygen in the blood increases and thus significantly increases energy, and thus significantly enhances performance; plus Clenbuterol dramatically reduces body fat by causing rapid fat burning. The drug Clenbuterol performed miracles for horses who made inexplicable improvements with major enhancements in performance. Some of Harthill's other favorite magic making performance enhancing drugs were Etorphine (infinitely more powerful than the aspirin-like bute), Banamine (5 times more powerful than the aspirin-like bute) and Sublimaze. The drugs Etorphine and Sublimaze are drugs that give horses such a sense of euphoria and well-being that they feel like they don’t have legs. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing and using unusual quantities of controlled drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers and very strong amphetamines, etc. Alex Harthill and performance enhancing drugs have led to the destruction of integrity in North American racing. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances and they were remarkably effective turning good horses into great horses, bad horses into good horses, slower horses into faster horses, horses with no business winning doing so, and causing horses to run far over their heads. Harthill was a vet who had stolen a 30 length lead in the race to discover drugs that would significantly move up racehorses and Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever he could get his hands on. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times in Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, NY, etc. for tampering, bribery and doping horses with drugs. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history." Besides Harthill admitting it to Hovdey/DRF, there are the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. Case closed.

Exactly, you quote the article in the BH. I quote Gary West, "Easy Goer was so brilliant, so dominant, so conspicuously talented in spite of his horrible ankles. Easy Goer's mammoth performances at sprint, mile, classic & stamina distances didn't just invite comparisons to the all time greats, they insisted upon him being mentioned with the all time greats." I'd agree.

Easy Goer was sired by Alydar, runner-up to Affirmed in all three Triple Crown races. I lived in Louisville and asked Pat Day, Easy Goer's jockey, "Of all your mounts, which horse was greatest?" He answered, "Easy Goer."

cominatcha, Why is your only goal & aim to comment with an endless barrage of trolling comments, THEN Delete & Erase ALL of them, then more endless barrages of comments, then delete & erase all of them, & to continue to do this endless cycle day after day after day? Why not just comment all that you want to & leave all of your endless comments on all of the videos, & not erase & delete all of them????

"Easy Goer, the big,powerful champion with many similarities to Secretariat evident. He looked the appearance of a Secretariat or a Swaps. Many facile, glib wins, both mortal & not perfect. Both with an affinity & penchant for immense winning margins & exceptionally rapid & speedy clockings. Both superb displays of speed, explosive & remarkable accelerations & overpowering stamina. Gliding triumphs by which racehorses bring people to their feet."

3-1 record means what it says. 3 wins 1 lose. It's on the winning end. Which everyone would love to be at in any type of sports competition. That is why we keep scores in every sport.

Both great horses, and a thrilling fantastic race from both horses. Always liked about Easy Goer, was his smooth and easy power. When the race is 1.5 miles like the Belmont, tough to beat Goer. I'm a Seattle Slew, and Easy Goer fan, and admired Secretariat. I believe Easy Goer ran this in 2:26 and the record is 2:24 for the Belmont, held by Secretariat -- so Easy Goer was very close to the record here. Very fast, and great endurance in the Goer, and a gorgeous looking horse.

The Drug-free Eclipse Award Champion & Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer will always be the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion, and the most coveted honor and prize is being inducted in the Hall of Fame, and Easy Goer did it drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs; while the drug-reliant and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence needed and was administered performance enhancing drugs to barely beat the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins in a few races. When ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs (and without ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill) in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs - and as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well - ss was Crushed by the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer. The 3-1 means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Cabrini Green 4, John Henry 0; Darby Creek Road 3, John Henry 0; Gallant Bloom 4, Shuvee 1; Damascus 2, Dr Fager 2; Akureyri 3, Pleasant Colony 1; Formal Gold 4, Skip Away 2; and an endless amount of others. The Classic Distance for the whole world in 1 1/2m, but EG won G1's drug-free at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f and 12f with much less time and rest between races and ran many more races; while the drug-reliant and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence only won G1's with drugs at 9f to 10f with much more time and rest between races and ran far less races.

Man O'War, War Admiral, Native Dancer,Buckpasser,Nasrullah,La Troienne in Easy Goer's pedigree, greatness. "Easy Goer put on exhibitions of speed, power and stamina rarely seen in Hall of Fame older horses."

Blooodhorse quote, "Easy Goer met those dreams & expectations embodied in his powerful frame and authored an unforgettable Hall of Fame career, and will always be mentioned in the same reverential breath with the greatest of all time." And this in spite of the awful "total pilot errors" riding which cost him by a nostril and desperate neck in two outs vs. SS.

If Day had run this race in the Classic, Goer would have won that too. This race was over entering the far turn.

Take nothing away from Sunday Silence he was a truly great horse. Easy Goer was just better. A monster of a horse that Belmont ranks only below the great Secretariats as the best in my lifetime.

Easy goer is one of my very favorites of all-times. Too bad he got hurt, go look at his timings. He was the only 3 year old to win the whitney, the woodward and, the jockey gold cup. Even though when he won the jockey gold cup that year it was no longer 2 miles, it was 1 mile and a half. Kelsos' the only horse to win that combo twice. But, when kelso did it the jockey gold cup was miles! Kelso was something else. But, easy goer was better than sunday silence and, alot of horses. Had he not got hurt so much he would have been one of the atleast 8 greatest horses of all-times or who knows, he one of the very best as it is. He was one hell of a horsie. Ed Bowen who I have the privelge of knowing has a liking for him too. Ed's favorite is man of war, that's a tough one to argue againts[laugh]! God bless man of war for giving us kelso[laugh]! Alot of greats came out of man of war, none like kelso though.

If you're just looking at just the racing talent of the horse, yes Easy Goer was probably the second best horse of past 35 years. I really don't question Day's rides as much as others although the Preakness ride was god awful. He still came back on Sunday Silence in the stretch and had the lead, but lost it again. So when people say he moved to soon doesn't really apply. His mistake was turning his head to look at Sunday Silence. I don't what Day was thinking. I don't think horses think like that. Plus, no one said anything about Day in the races he won. I do believe though if you put a jockey like Cordero on Easy Goer, he may not have lost a race. He lost the Breeder's Cup Classic due to his handler's decision to run in the Jockey Club. I think they ran the horse into the ground. Who on earth chooses to run a mile and a half race as a prep race. You'll never see another three year old have the year Easy Goer had in 1989. Forget American Pharoah. He's great by today's standards, but honestly speaking; he would have gotten smoked if he ran in the 80's.

sl7293 Pretty easy. He won five consecutive grade ones as a three year old. As I said, just looking at the talent of the horse alone, he was better. He was more versatile and he was more accomplished. Racing is a team sport. Whittingham did a better job prepping Sunday Silence and the jockey... well don't get me started. Yes of course, SS beat him 3 out 4. Noor beat Citation 4 straight times. Was Noor better than Citation? Probably not. So what I'm saying isn't necessarily trash. I'm not some crazed Easy Goer fanatic either, but I saw him perform in person enough to say he's one of best horses I've ever seen run. Spectacular Bid is no. 1. I didn't see Secretariat.

Easy Goer stayed close directly behind SS...When SS moved up to the leader Pat Day followed him and went right by....Unlike the Classic where Easy Goer was sitting right behind SS but when SS made his move to the leader Pat Day sat still on Easy Goer and did not follow him and let SS open up and missed by a neck...Pat Day should have given Easy Goer a comfortable win in the 89 Classic if he did not "wait" all day...

Pat Day also sat still and waited on the far turn in the Preakness too. Go watch the 1989 Swale Stakes at Gulfstream in Florida where Easy Goer blazed extremely fast around the sharp far turn.

When Easy Goer broke Secretariat's 1 mile record by 1 full second running 1:32:2 he ran it on cruise control, in hand, effortlessly, at will, etc and ran the fastest mile of all time by any 3 year old. Easy Goer's 1 mile record still stands today almost 25 years later.

Easy Goer, "an exhibition of power and speed and stamina rarely seen in Hall of Fame older horses." A true great

On the Sunday Silence/Easy Goer rivalry, it came down to Sunday Silence in 3 of 4 races.

After you Watch this Race you Should have a Very CLEAR opinion of Which Horse was absolutely SUPERIOR over the other...Sunday Silence had His Wins against Easy Goer including 2 VERY narrow ones but This Performance was Undisputed Evidence that Easy Goer was simply on another PLANET in Talent...3 to 1 Edge Sunday Silence Held over Easy Goer was CLEARLY just some very strange and rare Aberration in This Sport

joe chrow You should have a clear opinion based on these facts: The fact is that the drug-reliant & criminal cheater doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss was drug-dependent & could not run drug-free without all of his performance enhancing drugs administered to him by his criminal cheater vet, as ss not only got obliterated by EG but ss also barely beat Le Voyageur (who never won even 1 stake race his whole career). The fact also is that the drug-reliant ss could not run on bigger tracks with larger 1 1/8m or bigger circumferences. The fact also is that EG was in front of ss at the 5/16th pole having run Only 1 3/16m & Before they had run 1 1/4m in this drug-free race. The fact also is the EG/SS 3-1 means as much or as little as all the scoreboards reading Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Cabrini Green 4, John Henry 0; Darby Creek Road 3, John Henry 0; Gallant Bloom 4, Shuvee 1 ; Akureyri 3, Pleasant Colony 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Damascus 2, Dr Fager 2; Formal Gold 4, Skip Away 2; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4 ; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2, & an endless amount more. The fact also is in the Drug-Free Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed ss, like drug-free wheat separating from drugged chaff, the drug-free cream rose to the top. Easy Goer ran drug-free in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, which banned all performance enhancing drugs; while the drug-reliant & criminal juicer cheater veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss got exposed badly & romped when he was forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. The truth is the litmus test of a champion is running & winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs; & during that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs. Plus, as importantly, New York banned & didn't allow the criminal juicer cheater veterinarian of ss Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally doping/juicing an endless amount of horses] to perform his magic & juice the drug-reliant & criminal cheater veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss. During that era, it was a huge credit to NY [& the rest of the whole world] that the endless amount of their championship G1 races stood as humongous, gigantic obstacles to drug-reliant horses like ss; & these horses, like ss & many others, got exposed badly when they were forced to run drug-free with no-drugs at all. The truth is ONLY no-drugs drug-free races were/are true championship races. Only the drug-free no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. No-drug races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drug races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse than the drug-reliant & criminal juicer cheater vet Alex Harthill-reliant ss. In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the narrowest of margins to the drug-reliant ss, ss needed all of his performance enhancing drugs administered to him & still only beat him by the slimmest of margins. Plus, The drug-free Easy Goer won G1 races at 7f, 1 mile, 9f, 10f & 12f drug-free with much less time & rest between races & ran many more races at more fluctuating, different distances in faster times with far superior speed figures & performance ratings; while the drug-reliant ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with his ped drugs & much more time & rest between races & ran far less races. All truths. And most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illicit, illegal performance enhancing drugs to ss. I quote the DRF for the factual truths: "Harthill, toward the end of his life, was BOLD ENOUGH to tell Jay Hovdey of the Daily Racing Form how he illegally gave numerous horses (including Clenbuterol to SS) illegal drugs. Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex Harthill ADMITTED illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. In DRF articles in recent years & in the last few years of his life, SSilence's vet Alex Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing bronchodilator clenbuterol regularly in the 1980's 15 years before it was approved by the FDA on his horses, INCLUDING using it on sunday silence. SS's vet Alex Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it to Sunday Silence, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. The drug Clenbuterol has a similar effect on the body as epinephrine & amphetamines by increasing the production of epinephrine & noradrenaline & thus significantly enhancing performance; clenbuterol also thins blood & widens the vessels that carry oxygen, so the volume of oxygen in the blood increases & thus significantly increases energy & thus significantly enhances performance; plus clenbuterol dramatically reduces body fat by causing rapid fat burning. The drug Clenbuterol performed miracles for horses who made inexplicable improvements with major enhancements in performance. Some of Harthill's other favorite magic making performance enhancing drugs were Etorphine (infinitely more powerful than the aspirin-like bute), Banamine (5 times more powerful than the aspirin-like bute) & Sublimaze. The drugs Etorphine & Sublimaze are drugs that give horses such a sense of euphoria & well-being that they feel like they don’t have legs. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of controlled drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers & very strong amphetamines, etc. The drug Lasix is absolutely performance enhancing as well & also acts a diuretic making horses lose weight giving them a huge advantage while making them run faster at the same time. In a study of 23,000 races, Horses that received the drug lasix on raceday raced faster, earned more money, & were more likely to win or finish in the top 3 positions than horses that did not. The study showed a 6 length difference with Lasix than without. Another reason for the performance-enhancing effects of lasix is the acute reduction in body weight that occurs after lasix administration. Administration of lasix shows to induce up to 4% reduction in body weight within 4 hours. Because work is a product of mass, velocity & distance, that loss of this amount of weight has a significantly beneficial effect on the athletic ability of lasix-treated horses. Lasix-induced reduction in body weight increases the maximal rate of oxygen consumption, reduces accumulated oxygen deficit & rate of lactate production, & decreases the rate of carbon dioxide production of horses during intense exercise, delaying the onset of fatigue & increasing the oxygen going to muscles. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history." Besides Harthill admitting it to the DRF, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. These are all true facts.

I say this all the time. EG should’ve won the Triple Crown. One of the greatest horses of all time

It's fun to watch Pat and Easy Goer. As his jockey, the two formed a solid team, and everything was a team effort. They each knew each other so well. Pat always knew about the great horse he had beneath him and what he could do. It is apparent here. Pat just stayed with the leaders, not going to the front. He knew the acceleration Easy Goer had, and just waited. Won by 8 lengths and second fastest time in the Belmont. The Gotham is the most interesting, as Pat holds him back, but in the short race, Easy Goer wants to go to the front, and pulls him to the lead. As he accelerates around the turn and passes Diamond Donnie in an instant, wins by 10 lengths, in a course record, almost a NWR, that beats Secretariat's NTR by a full second, I myself have never seen a horse run as fast as he did in the stretch. "A stream lined jet airplane", is a good description of his home stretch!!!! What a horse!!!!!!!

Easy Goer, a horse that ran the record three year old mile of all time in 1:32.2, ran the seconds fastest Belmont Stakes of all time, ran many of the best, most prestigious races(Belmont,Travers,Champagne,Suburban,Gotham,Whitney,etc) on track records at all distances of ground. 2 of these performances, record mile and second fastest Belmont, are still the two best performances by any horse since Bid.

This race showcased just how much better and DOMINANT easy goer was than sunday silence in pure talent

Easy Goer, the club footed comet champion. Easy Goer, the titanic champion, the club footed comet with problem ankles, club feet, and crooked left leg. Easy Goer's best and top performances were up there with the best of them, and could rival any horse.
