40 Moments #8: Sunday Silence Bests Easy Goer in Horse of the Year Showdown
Do you remember the 1989 #BreedersCup Classic?
It was the showdown for the Horse of the Year title when Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes winner Sunday Silence met Belmont Stakes winner Easy Goer at Gulfstream Park in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. Sunday Silence, ridden by Chris McCarron, got the jump on his in the stretch and held off the furious charge of Easy Goer to prevail by a neck.
Chris McCarron has the story of our #8 Moment!

35 Years Later and The Racing World is Still STUNNED Sunday Silence Beat The Great Brilliant Easy Goer 3 of 4 Meetings...Easy Goer Was BRILLIANT But Also Very UNLUCKY...Too Bad Because He Had Top 3 All Time Natural Talent
That's one of my favorite horse's: The Late Great Sunday Silence!! He was a great runner!! He and Easy Goer was neck and neck in a many classic races!! It was one of the most, exciting Breeders Cup Races in years!! May they both, Rest In Peace!! Loved both of them!! We miss you!!
I love Sunday Silence ❤
Two Great Horses both with different styles. This is what horse racing is all about!

That is True But Even The Biggest SS Fan in The World Would Admit Easy Goer Was The Better More Naturally Talented Horse and Was Extremely Unlucky
Easy Goer 14, sunday silence 0 forever.
Before The 1989 Classic Shug and His Team Discussed Scratching Easy Goer From The Race Because His Career Bad Ankles Were "Swelled up to The Size of Grapefruits"...Chris McCarron Claims That Was His Greatest Ride of His Career and Stole The Race From Easy Goer
14 to 0 forever. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer 14 wins drug-free without any drugs, the drug-dependent & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence 0 wins drug-free without any drugs. 14 to 0 forever indeed.
