@@Richard-fz7ce Another one of the thousands of youtube accounts with different names for you. The official DRF & Equibase margin was a neck; clearly the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was absolutely blowing by the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence & it was a very rapidly diminishing desperate neck with EG blowing by; & ss officially, by DRF & Equibase, won "DRIVING." "Driving" is the most vigorous of riding, & it was driving because McCarron was hitting him with his left handed whip & also riding vigorously. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer destroyed the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence by a Widening 8 Lengths officially "ridden out." Ridden out is much less vigorous riding than "driving." EG dusted ss when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. EG only lost by the slimmest of margins in a few races to ss because ss needed & was given the ped drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine, plus Furosemide/Lasix (a study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 9 length performance enhancement), etc etc. The only Hall of Fame inductions, Eclipse Awards, races, records & wins that count are those that were/are run drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs at all, without any drugs at all, & that is why the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer's Hall of Fame induction, Eclipse Awards, races, records & wins count (& Not the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence), & the legal, moral, ethical score is Easy Goer 14 wins drug-free without any drugs, SS 0 drug-free without any drugs; Easy Goer 14, SS 0; EG 1, ss 0. The TRUE DRUG-FREE HALL OF FAME CHAMPION EASY GOER earned induction in the Hall of Fame & earned Eclipse Awards while doing it drug-free without any ped drugs, without any drugs, in all of his races in his career; while the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence did it with the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug), Sublimaze (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute) & Etorphine (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute), plus the powerful performance enhancing diuretic drug Furosemide/Lasix (a study of 23,000 races proved it gives a 9 LENGTH performance enhancement, plus it reduces body weight by 16lbs to 25 pounds, & is the main drug which masks other drugs), etc etc. Harthill admitted he gave the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to sunday silence. Harthill was arrested, banned, suspended & fined numerous times in many states for giving many horses illegal performance enhancing drugs. During that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs, & had the most advanced out-of-competition & raceday drug testing. Plus, as importantly, NY banned the illegal criminal vet of ss Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally drugging an endless amount of horses; & Harthill admitted that he illegally gave illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine, etc) to 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 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 races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. Easy Goer won 14 races, 12 stakes races, 9 G1 races drug-free without any drugs on all 3 sized tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized tracks) on fast, muddy & sloppy tracks at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f with much less time & rest between races & ran many more career races in faster times at all distances; while ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with ped drugs & only on small 8f sized tracks with much more time & rest between races & ran far less career races. Easy Goer was far better & far superior. Period. EG demolished ss when they were forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs. EG was the better horse plain & simple. It's the truth based on Harthill's voluntary admission to DRF Hovdey in 01, plus all of the 88-90 DRFs; 2012 NY Post article titled "The 11 horses who missed out on Triple Crown at Belmont" found on the web; DRF's Mike Watchmaker, Ed Fountaine & Paul Moran; Wikipedia articles with many reliable sources cited; 2 Claiborne books; NY Law; DRF, Bloodhorse & Thor. Record; & mounds more. The end.
Sucked. Desperate neck? Sunday won easy and was never threatened by Easy Goer. When EG moved up and *the stage is set," Sunday drew off and left him in his dust. Just like the Preakness, only easier because EG didn't interfere like he did at Pimlico.
@@JoeKoOhNo That was Pat Day not Easy Goer. Pat Day ran a terrible race. If it was someone like Cordero EG would have been near the front. His closing in that shows he had plenty left in the tank..
@@boxcarent.3147 Hogwash. EG was a closer. He was incapable of speed. SS drew off because he was properly rated by a great speed jockey. The call was shit because Durkin was a terrible announcer.
@@JoeKoOhNo If he's a terrible announcer then you really don't know what you are talking about, Even if you been watching horseracing for years. Sunday Silence was great but EG was great and more talented. EG had the wrong jockey.
@@boxcarent.3147 Loser. Sunday Silence beat him three times which means you lost 3 bets and only won one. If that's your idea of greatness, you're a loser. If you think this is a great call, you're a loser and don't know what horse racing's all about STFU.
Stop it at the finish. That is a win by half a length, not a neck. Announcer made it sound like it was closer than it was. SS knew he had him and coasted the final 20 meters. This is one of my favorite race calls of all time despite the comical bias towards Easy Goer. Announcer nearly orgasms as Easy Goer picks it up and catches Sunday Silence in the backstretch. Unfortunately for EG, SS is one of the best turn racers of all time.
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.
Great racehorses. Great rivalry! Truly something for the ages. Easy Goer died too young . Sunday Silence was a breed changer in Japan, forever changing that countries thoroughbred expecience!
Great Genetics have definitely moved on to new generations for Easy Goer, Sunday Silence and Deep Impact. The influence of Easy Goer and Sunday Silence on the breeding of racehorses worldwide is incredible. Even with dying very premature, Easy Goer is in the bloodlines of a numerous amount of G-1 winners in the USA and Europe. Easy Goer's grandson Araafa won the Group 1 St. James's Palace Stakes, G-1 Irish 2,000 Guineas, et cetera. Easy Goer's grandson Astronomer Royal won the Group 1 French 2,000 Guineas, et cetera. Easy Goer's son Will's Way won the Grade 1 Whitney Handicap, G-1 Travers Stakes, et cetera.

Easy Goer's lookalike daughter Relaxing Rhythm won the G-1 Molly Pitcher, et cetera. Easy Goer's lookalike granddaughter Tiz Miz Sue won the G-1 Ogden Phipps, et cetera. And many more. Great Genetics have definitely moved on to new generations for Easy Goer, Sunday Silence and Deep Impact. However, none of these compare to Galileo, Danehill, Sadler's Wells, Northern Dancer, Mr. Prospector, Danzig, Native Dancer, Bold Ruler, Man o' War and some others. Dubawi, Tapit, Curlin, Sea the Stars and Frankel may be on their way to these aforementioned sires above. The great Japanese sires Sunday Silence and Deep Impact both took over from Northern Taste and Tesco Boy as leading sire in the insular, restricted, big fish in small pond Japan. While a few Deep Impact's have had success with G-1 wins in Europe, et cetera, it must be noted that he was bred to the best of the best Coolmore Galileo, Sadler's Wells and Giant's Causeway mares to do so in most cases - and in the other cases he was bred to the best of the best Niarchos family mares who are descendants of the great Miesque. Actually, Sunday Silence himself did not even sire one G-1 winner in all of Europe and the U.S.A., and many attempted to, including Dance Partner, Dance in the Mood, Sundrop, Layman, Keep the Faith, Silent Name, Deep Impact {disqualified from 3rd place finish due to a positive drug test for an illegal drug}, To the Victory, Zenno Rob Roy, Heart's Cry, Sunday Joy, Seven Moons, Negotiator, Wild Sunday and others - All of these sons and daughters of Sunday Silence lost all of their G-1 races in Europe and the U.S.A. The many attempts that have been made to generate Sunday Silence's sire-line outside Japan have had very little to very modest success - sons of Sunday Silence that have stood at stud outside Japan in Europe, Australia and the U.S.A. have had very little to very modest success, including Divine Light, Born King, Keep the Faith, Layman, Tayasu Tsuyoshi, Real Impact, Bubble Gum Fellow, Genuine, Hat Trick, Silent Name, Fuji Kiseki, Fusaichi Zenon, Agnes Gold, Victoire Pisa, Neorealism, Brave Smash, Black Tuxedo, et cetera. Japan's great successes cannot be attributed only because Sunday Silence and Deep Impact. While SS's blood is oversaturated in Japan, some horses without any SS blood have also been leading sires in Japan, including the aforementioned Northern Taste and Tesco Boy, as well as King Kamehameha, Symboli Kris S, Kurofune, Rulership, Harbinger, Sakura Bakushin O, Brian's Time and Lord Kanaloa. Many horses without any SS blood at all have been greats in Japan and worldwide, including all of these G-1 winners: Panthalassa {G-1 Saudi Cup & G-1 Dubai Turf winner}, El Condor Pasa {G-1 winner in Europe}, Taiki Shuttle {G-1 winner in Europe}, Seeking the Pearl {G-1 winner in Europe}, Lord Kanaloa, Vodka, TM Opera O, Jungle Pocket, King Kamehameha, Apapane, Narita Brian, Symboli Kris S, Meisho Samson, Rey de Oro, Agnes Digital, Mayano Top Gun, Air Groove, Grass Wonder, Tap Dance City, Sweep Tosho, Satono Crown, etc etc.

@@traviswest949 One the race track the better horse wins 3 of 4 head to head matches, and does not lose them. On the track Sunday Silence was the better horse and he proved it on the track! Could care less about the rest of your laughable short novel. Sunday Silence 3-1 versus Easy Goer head to head and Sunday Silence was correctly Horse of the Year over Easy Goer. Scoreboard! 🙂
I agree about the points you made about the sizes of the tracks, the drugs and medications, etc. 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."
1989 HOY and the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Sunday Silence will always be the Drug-Free Test of the Champion (The Classic Distance for the whole world) winner; the most coveted prize is being the 1989 Horse of the year and Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion in the Hall of Fame and beat Easy Goer 3 out of 4 times
This was jockey Pat Day's fault that Easy Goer did not win here, as he let the horse get too far behind. Goer could not make up the lost ground fast enough, as he ran out of real estate. If Day would have kept him much closer, Easy Goer would have won this race. Look at how strongly he closed, and was making up ground fast on the leader. It's a shame.
It’s so odd: no one had a problem with Pat Day in ‘88 or when Easy Goer took down five consecutive Grade 1 races. Apparently, against all odds, Day rode like a bug boy in three of four against Sunday Silence. It’s inexplicable.

@@andredarin8966 Totally false. Many had lots of problems with Pat Patsy Daisy Day's (aka Pat Ron Franklin Esque Day, Pat Wait All Day, Pat Start Stop Start Stop Start Day, Pat a Day late, Pat Delay Day, Pat so passive & patient he could watch a faucet drip for days Day) bug boy rides on Easy Goer in '88 & 89' G1 Whitney & G1 Woodward. Many had lots of problems with Pat Patsy Daisy Day's bug boy rides on Easy Goer, Forty Niner, Seeking the Gold, Turkoman, Java Gold, Sky Classic, Heavenly Prize, Surfside, Menifee, Timber Country, Rampage, etc. As usual, while riding all of these horses Pat Patsy Daisy Day did his very very best to lose. Day's riding was horrendous - start stop start stop start, start check in major traffic start, inside outside way outside as wide as can be, back inside back outside back way outside as wide as can be, back in as tight as can be on the dead rail, turn his head in turn his head out, pull the trigger then fold up & put out the fire of a splendid Hall of Fame Champion in full flame, etc. A lemming could have rode better than Day. Pat Patsy Daisy Day was the worst rider of all time, hands down. Opening Verse (91 BC Mile), Fraise (92 BC Turf), Skywalker (86 BC Classic), Creme Fraiche (87 JC Gold Cup), Dear Doctor (92 Arlington Million), One Dreamer (94 BC Distaff), Cash Run (99 BC Juv Fillies) & numerous others had ways of making Pat Days rides on Easy Goer, Forty Niner, Sky Classic, Turkoman, Seeking the Gold, Heavenly Prize, Java Gold, Star of Cozzene, Surfside, Timber Country, Rampage, Menifee, etc look very bad indeed. Pat Patsy Daisy Day NEVER won even ONE riding title against the best competition in New York, California or Florida (winters); & Day rode many full meets in NY (mainly Saratoga, but Belmont as well) & FL (winters at Gulfstream). I will take Pat Valenzuela & Chris McCarron over Pat Patsy Daisy Day any day, everyday. Over & over & over again Pat Valenzuela - on inferior horses SS, Fraise (1992 Breeders Cup Turf), Opening Verse (1991 Breeders Cup Mile) - significantly outrode Pat Patsy Daisy Day on superior horses Easy Goer, Sky Classic, Star of Cozzene. For that matter, I will take Cordero, Pincay, Bailey, McCarron, Stevens, etc., over Pat Patsy Daisy Day anyday, everyday. Cordero, Pincay, Bailey, McCarron, Stevens, etc., also over & over again significantly outrode Day. Day got so many superior horses beat - Easy Goer, Sky Classic (in 92 Arl Million & 92 BC Turf), Forty Niner (in 88 Ky Derby & Lexington), Turkoman (in 86 BC Classic), Java Gold (in 87 JC Gold Cup), Rampage (in 86 Ky Derby), Seeking the Gold (in 88 Haskell,Travers & BC Classic), Menifee (in 99 Ky Derby & Preakness), Heavenly Prize (in 94 BC Distaff & 95 Beldame), Surfside (in 99 BC Juv Fillies), Timber Country (95 Ky Derby, Santa Anita Derby, etc), etc., & an endless amount of others. "Day is so patient he could watch a faucet drip for days. Day drove many a captain of industry, hard-boot trainer & horseplayer to the brink of rage." I will also take Woody Stephens, Allen Jerkens & Charlie Whittingham over McGaughey any day, every day. Woody Stephens' Swale over Shug's Pine Circle & Vanlandingham; Woody Stephens' Forty Niner over Shug/P Day's Seeking the Gold; Woody Stephens' Danzig Connection over Shug's Personal Flag; Allen Jerkens Sky Beauty over Shug/P Day's Dispute, etc. Had Easy Goer been ridden & trained by someone other than flawed Pat Patsy Daisy Day & McGaughey, Easy Goer would have been undefeated. Despite the very slight edge in the head to head record by the slimmest of margins, numerous times in their races, Easy Goer did not just pass Sunday Silence, he absolutely flew by Sunday Silence - Easy Goer's top speed was far faster than SS, & EG also had far superior stamina than SS; Easy Goer displayed far superior speed & stamina than SS. Had ss been forced to run drug-free without any drugs, Easy Goer would have been undefeated against ss, because "Easy Goer did NOT require ANY drugs to perform at his best, & the INFERIOR DRUG-RELIANT ss needed ped drugs. Sunday Silence was TREATED WITH DRUGS, NOTABLY THE PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG FUROSEMIDE, in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders' Cup Classic when narrowly 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. 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." LA Times Dec 89. Furosemide/Lasix is a potent performance enhancing drug which masks & flushes other banned drugs, plus it reduces body weight by 16 to 25lbs & many studies show it gives a significant 9 length performance enhancement. Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill also ADMITTED to giving ss the immensely effective performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze in the 89 KY Derby, Preakness & BC Classic; Sunday Silence benefited immeasurably by all of their incredibly effective performance enhancing effects.
Nah, when you’re smoking at those fractions, you’ll want to settle your horse in to where they’re comfortable. EG told Pat when he wanted to go on the backside and he had to settle him down to make their run into the turn. The better horse won this race regardless of the ride
grantp4022 Yes, no doubt. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was a far better horse than the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence.
Great Genetics have definitely moved on to new generations for Easy Goer and Sunday Silence. The influence of Easy Goer and Sunday Silence on the breeding of racehorses worldwide is incredible. Easy Goer's grandson Araafa won the Group 1 St. James's Palace Stakes, Group 1 Irish 2,000 Guineas, et cetera. Easy Goer's other grandson Astronomer Royal won the Group 1 French 2,000 Guineas, et cetera.
Easy Goer and S.S., two greats. Easy Goer, with a very solid bold burst of sudden speed down the backstretch full of momentum, then taken in hand under a grip under a hold, then another very bold burst, slung like a slingshot with a flourish, gobbling up real estate one jump short by a very rapidly diminishing neck, soaring by like a shot. Two outstanding horses
That's not what happened. He moved up after getting his stride going and caught Sunday but Sunday was being rated and drew away easily to beat EG easily. He was never threatened. Without Sunday in the race, Blushing John would have won easy.
The drug-dependent and cheater juicer doper criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence LOSES EVERY race (even to LE VOYAGEUR, Prized [another drug-dependent horse whom EG beat by 25 lengths], Houston, Cro Lover, Criminal Type, Blushing John [another drug-dependent horse], Stylish Winner, etc, not only to the drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by 8 lengths). The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer had blazing front running speed at every distance as EG went wire to wire running blazing early fractions in 10f Suburban & 8f Champagne, won on the lead in both 9f Wood Memorial and 12f Jockey Club Gold Cup, stalked up very close to the lead running blazing fractions in the record breaking 8f Gotham, 2nd Fastest Belmont Stakes of all time at 12f, 10f Travers, 9f Whitney, 7f Cowdin & was right with the drug-dependent ss the entire races in the Belmont Stakes and Preakness. The only horse who got his ass kicked, crushed, humiliated, dominated, demolished, ownded and passed with ease was the drug-dependent (administered the incredibly effective powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol) and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence who got ass kicked, crushed, humiliated, dominated, demolished, owned and passed with ease by the drug-free Easy Goer. The drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence not only got humiliated by the drug-free Easy Goer (while barely beating the awful Le Voyageur because ss couldn't get all of his ped drugs. The only horse who got his ass kicked, owned, dominated and passed with ease (almost 4x to over 8x times greater an ass kicking and being owned) in ANY of their races was the drug-dependent/cheater doper vet alex harthill dependent sunday silence by the true, authentic drug-free Hall of Fame champion Easy Goer in the Test of the Champion in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs. The drug-free Hall of Fame champion EG whipped the drug-dependent/cheater doper vet alex harthill dependent ss BY a MUCH BIGGER MARGIN than he did almost all of his other foes. Y? B/c the drug dependent/cheater doper vet alex harthill dependent ss couldn't get all of his ped drugs (Clenbuterol, etc) when running in the Test of a Champion in the only state at the time which banned all drugs, & that was a true, authentic account of what ss was as a horse. Even with all of his ped drugs (which ss certainly NEEDED), the drug dependent ss barely beat the drug-free EG by the narrowest of margins in a few races, while losing a few by the slimmest of margins even with the drug-free EG having major trouble in the races (cut off badly by both Northern Wolf [his 1 eyed jock got a 10 day suspension for it], & Dansil later in the Derby; in the Preakness purposely & deviously forced out 10 wide by Valenzuela on backside while passing him totally legally to go head & head with the sprinter Houston (another pathetic horse who beat ss) & did so without cutting ss off or shutting him off [Even ss's owner admitted this] & having to run a huge, early blazing 21 & change monster backstretch run, had the awful Pat ron franklin esque Day continue his awful start stop start stop riding, got pushed & banged purposely & deviously by Valenzuela in as tight as can be on the dead rail from the far turn thru the entire stretch scraping the rail, still would have won but had his head turned by Pat Ron Franklin esque Day with the lead in deep stretch; & in both the Preakness & Classic with Pat Ron Franklin esque Day's terribly tentative error filled start stop start stop awful riding putting out the fire of a splendid drug-free Hall of Fame champion in full flame in both races); & with ss needing all of his ped drugs to do so only by the slimmest of margins. The only true, authentic account of what horses are as horses were/are when they were/are forced to run completely drug-free without any drugs; & everyone saw clearly what ss was when forced to run completely drug free without any drugs as he not only got his ass kicked, dominated, whipped & owned by the drug free EG, he was life/death to barely beat the awful le voyageur. The drug-dependent/cheater doper vet Alex Harthill dependent ss got dominated, whipped & owned in all of his races without all of his ped drugs, & lost most of his races (lost 4 of 6) on larger tracks with a bigger circumference larger than a mile. It means as much or as little as all the scoreboards always reading (and never forgetting) 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; & an endless amount more. In the Test of the Champion drug-free Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed s.s; like heart-filled drug-free wheat separating from heart-less drugged chaff, the heart-filled 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 & corrupt criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. 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 didn't allow the magic man corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian of s.s. 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 & magic man corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. 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 s.s.; & these horses, like ss & many others, got exposed badly when they were forced to run drug-less with no-drugs at all. Never forget. ONLY no-drugs drug-less races were/are true championship races. Only the drug-less 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. Never forget. 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 & corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the narrowest of margins to the drug-reliant s.s., s.s. 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 & running many more races at more fluctuating, different distances in faster times with far superior speed figures & performance ratings; while the drug-reliant s.s. only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with his ped drugs & much more time & rest between races & running far less races. & most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illicit, illegal performance enhancing drugs to s.s. 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, SS'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 performed miracles for horses with major enhancements in performance. 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 with major enhancements in performance. The U.S. DEA filed suit against Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers & very strong amphetamines, etc. Harthill was arrested many times (Ky, Ill, La, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. Ss's vet Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history." Besides Harthill admitting it, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. Nuff said.
@Christopher Hagee Easy Goer was roaring at the end, and had his jockey cut him loose earlier he no doubt would have won the race. He seemed to wait to late to make his move.
@@traviswest9388 Proof that SS was drugged in the '89 Classic? Links? Photos? Without hard evidence, Harthill's reputation by itself isn't enough to support your theory here.
Two rare horses. Both would have triple crowns if they had not met in same year. August Rodin a Sunday silence progeny wins epsom derby 2023. Could aidan o brien bring him for breeders cup classic 2023. 🤔
Easy Goer the Faster horse? Who's finer or superior? That is intuitive and nonobjective. They were both superb. Though a small sample, they were mere inches apart from being a level two to two when opposing each other in direct competition. Easy Goer did achieve and accomplish more in his career res'ume'. "Easy Goer was Adonis-like, the closest thing physically to Secretariat. He was plagued by terrible ankles his entire career, but was placed upon a throne at an early age and validated all the admiration and exaltation. Easy Goer had bad shins (needed pinfiring), puffy, problematic ankles, a clubfoot, and a deformed, turned-out left knee. Easy Goer was a glowing chestnut with a fluid stride that belied his short pasterns and less than perfect feet. Pasterns notwithstanding, he had the look of greatness, and he ran to his looks. Easy Goer tragically died very young, with only a few crops. There are many reasons to regret the early loss of Easy Goer, who combined blistering speed over a mile with thoroughly genuine stamina. Corinthian, Storm Flag Flying, My Flag, Will's Way, Lion Tamer, Mull of Kyntire, Astronomer Royal, Furlough, Relaxing Rhythm etc. Given Easy Goer’s own superb pedigree and the quality of mates he received during his few seasons at Claiborne, there is every reason to believe that he would have made an even more significant contribution had he lived longer."
John Longo He (A Hall of Fame champion Easy Goer) can't let that horse (SS was also a Hall of Fame champion) beat him in a few major races (2 of them by a nose & neck), it just can't happen? As if they BOTH weren't Hall of Fame champions? Great Great horses don't lose to another great horse a few times? How wrong can these statements of yours be? Very wrong. Some would say a great horse (Sec) can't let 3 DIFFERENT inferior horses beat him in 3 major races by a combined 10 lengths, it just can't happen. Some would say great great horses (Sec) don't lose three times at age 3 to 3 different inferior horses by a combined 10 lengths. I wouldn't say that though. Easy Goer and SS were Both great horses but Who was better? The 'better horse'? Better, like beauty is subjective and true in the eyes of the beholder. 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 and 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, rider errors, training and trainer errors, preps & prep race schedules/distances, win/loss %'s, trips, track conditions, tracks, amount of races run, post positions, campaign & career earnings with & without bonuses, etc etc and many many more. And even after all of these numerous factors are factored in, who was better is still subjective. 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 3 to 1 edge in head to head races by the nose of his Preakness win. There are plenty of great great horses who lost a few races to other great horses (and some not so great horses) with many examples of this being: 1) Noor beat great great HOF champ Citation in 4 of 5 major races head to head. 2) Beau Purple beat great great HOF champ Kelso in 3 of 4 major races head to head. 3) Big Spruce & Wajima beat great great HOF champ Forego in 2 of 3 major races head to head. 4) Great Great champ Damascus beat great great champ Dr Fager in 2 of 4 major races head to head. Great Great champs Swaps and Nashua were 1 to 1 head to head. 5) Mehmet & Interco both beat great great HOF champ John Henry in 2 of 3 major races. 6) Darby Creek Road also beat HOF champ John Henry in 3 of 3 races. 7) Cabrini Green also beat John Henry in 4 of 4 races. 8) Cutlass Reality beat HOY Ferdinand in 3 major races. 9) Billy Kelly beat great great Triple Crown champ Sir Barton in 8 of 12 major races. 10) Formal Gold beat great great HOF champ Skip Away in 4 of 6 major races. 11)Star of Cozzene beat HOY Kotashaan in 3 of 4 major races. 12) Pretense beat HOF champ Native Diver 5 times in major races. 13) Summer Squall beat champion Unbridled in 4 of 6 major races head to head. 14) Heritage of gold beat HOF champ Silverbulletday in 3 of 3 big races. 15) Akureyri beat champion Pleasant Colony in 3 of 4 big races, etc etc. The point also is who was better is subjective & even after the numerous factors are factored in, who was better is still subjective.
Its great to hear a guy talk who knows his shit like u, i was a goer guy but tell me something i grew up in the time of (SEC)i m 54 ,is it me cause i ve been waiting for a horse like him to come along for 40 yrs ,a horse that everytime he s goes out u r looking not just to win but break a track record.I watch mostly the 6,7 major races in the u.s. every yr,an in all these yrs i dont c a horse thats on the same level ,you think its possible to ever c something like him again.I keep putting greats horses next too big red an its lik omg not even close,i look at his times an they r just know other horse to compare him with,tell me what u think.
John Longo Thanks. Well you got to give American Pharoah credit as a great horse. He was 2 year old champion & has won 7 of 8 races. He was able to do something (TC) that hasn't been done in 37 years in an era when horses are much more fragile, much less durable, and much less capable of running longer distances. The Immortals Man O' War, Sec, Citation, Slew, Affirmed, Bid, Kelso, Forego, Native Dancer, etc are very difficult to replicate. As far as Easy Goer and Sunday Silence, in the absence of either, each most likely would have been Triple Crown immortals etc. Instead each proved the others greatness, but at the same time, most likely denied the other Triple Crown immortality etc. Though, I think Easy Goer had that all timer talent, ability, speed/stamina combination, constitution, durability, etc .
Sunday Silence's greatest son, the 2005 Japanese Triple Crown winner Deep Impact, sired this year's 2012 Japanese Fillies Triple Crown winner Gentildonna. In all three races Gentildonna held of Verxina, also by Deep Impact. Last year's 2011 Japanese Triple Crown winner Orfevre was sire by another son of Sunday Silence, Stay Gold the winner the 2001 Dubai Sheema Classic and 2001 Hong Kong Vase. Hat Trick (2005 Hong Kong Mile) is the only 2nd-crop US stallion to sire a G1 winner (King David).
As a person who goes to Gulfstream every year, I wish I was alive to see Sunday Silence win the Classic and win against Easy Goer, for the last time. R.I.P, Sunday Silence. You'll always be my favorite Triple Crown near-miss racehorse.
Charlie Whittingham took a Dig at Shug before this race questioning why he ran him at the 1 1/2 distance previously to the Classic...Whittingham was a Master Trainer

Great race by two great horses. Easy Goer's major ankle problems reaching their most severe point, colic on the day of this race, campaign, and mile and a half "prep" dulling him when dropping down in distance to a mile and a quarter were some of the many circumstances involved in this race between two great horses.
Nonsense. Easy Goer always had suspect ankles; Sunday Silence overcame a modest pedigree, crooked legs, and being sickle-hocked. Easy Goer was dead fit on this day. Any suggestion he had colic--a potentially life-threatening condition is a self-serving fiction to explain his losses to S.S. I bet you don't know that prepping for the Super Derby Sunday Silence worked a mile at Del Mar in 1:33 4/5 tying the track record of Precisionist, an older horse who made it into the Hall of Fame. And Sunday Silence did it easily. THAT work--more than his races--marked him as a Superhorse. Let's not forget that when he defeated Easy goer in the Preakness he had a training setback due to a stone bruise and missed training. For a few days, Whittingham didn't know if he could get him to the race--and he still beat Easy Goer.

"Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work. Harthill Discloses He Administered Forbidden Performance-Enhancing Drugs To Many American Classic Winners In The Kentucky Derby, Preakness And Breeders' Cup Classic." How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill described how he gave Northern Dancer Furosemide in the hours before the Derby in 1964, affirming, 'I got a vet I knew from out of town to come along with me. I told him I was going to turn to the right, and would he go that way and take this little syringe down to barn 24, stall 23, and give this to that horse. There would be a guy there called Will. He'd be waiting. So he did it, while the gendarmes followed me.' Other than Northern Dancer, Harthill confirmed that he gave Furosemide to other notable horses, including Proud Clarion, Kauai King, Lucky Debonair, Majestic Prince, Forward Pass & Master Derby. Harthill declared he regularly used illegal amphetamine & stimulant drugs, & gave illegal amphetamine & stimulant drugs to Decidedly, Iron Liege & Tim Tam. Aside from Sunday Silence, Harthill also asserted that he administered Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine, to other top-tier horses Ferdinand, Spend a Buck, Wild Again, Alysheba, Skywalker, Gate Dancer, Sunny's Halo, Gato Del Sol, Deputed Testamony, Winning Colors, Lil E. Tee, Summer Squall & Black Tie Affair. Harthill also proclaimed that he was proud that he inaugurated the use of Clenbuterol, & regularly used Clenbuterol in the 1980's & 1990's. Harthill also affirmed that a common practice of his was to inject illegal long-acting steroid drugs into the injured areas of horses he treated. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill said, 'I (Harthill) was used for horses (Sunday Silence, etc) pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses (Sunday Silence, etc) I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests.

Joshua Complete truth. Easy Goer overcame a crooked turned-out left knee, a clubfoot, short upright pasterns, problematic, puffy enlarged ankles and knees, injured shins that required pinfiring, and cracks on both front heels. In Ray Paulick's book on SS, Paulick said Easy Goer had colic on BC Classic day. Horse colic is defined as abdominal pain, and it encompasses all forms of gastrointestinal conditions which cause abdominal pain and inflammation. The clinical signs of mild tympanic colic are generally mild, transient, and usually self-correct. This type of colic is common, and since they ran Easy Goer, the mild tympanic colic was the type of colic he had to have had on BCC day. The other serious types of colic involve obstructions, impactions and entrapments, and require surgery. Running any horse in a 12f prep for a 10f race is indeed hazardous. Longer races have the hazardous consequence of dulling horses speed and blunting the speed needed in a shorter race, while generating the horse's stamina at the expense of speed. It's awful that Alex Harthill confessed that he administered illegal performance-enhancing drugs to Sunday Silence, Northern Dancer and many others. At the very least there was one state in the whole USA in that time period which prohibited all drugs and also barred Alex Harthill, and in the true championship event with no drugs Easy Goer trounced Sunday Silence.

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 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.

EG dusted ss when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. EG only lost by the slimmest of margins in a few races to ss because ss needed & was given the ped drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine, plus Furosemide/Lasix (a study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 9 length performance enhancement), etc etc. Easy Goer won 14 races, 12 stakes races, 9 G1 races drug-free without any drugs on all 3 sized tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized tracks) on fast, muddy & sloppy tracks at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f with much less time & rest between races & ran many more career races in faster times at all distances; while ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with ped drugs & only on small 8f sized tracks with much more time & rest between races & ran far less career races. Easy Goer was far better & far superior. Period. EG demolished ss when they were forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs. EG was the better horse plain & simple.

Easy Goer never lost to Sunday Silence . Pat Day did because he didn't know how to ride him. If he had gone with Sunday Silence like he did at the Belmont instead of dropping back 2 and a half lengths he would of won the race

Easy Goer exploded and flew like a shot around that sharp turn at Gulfstream in the Swale Stakes. The video is here on this site. Pat Day's own words on the Classic. Thoroughbred Times, Nov. 10, 1989 Mark Simon article: "My horse put in a big run up the backside. Then I THROTTLED him BACK, and Settled him, and gave him a breather." More of Pat Day's own words on the Classic: Nov. 5, 1989 Sun Sentinel Dave Joseph article, "My ride wasn't the best. My horse put in a big run, then I settled him and gave him a breather when SS went." In spite of when Day moved, or in spite of how fast or not that he moved, he would always ease up, back down & pull back & put out the fire when in full flame (let down, confusing start, stop, start, stop) after making moves, as he did in both the Preakness & Classic. Pat Day's own words on the Pat Day interview video here on this web site, and quotes on the Preakness: "I was on the better horse. It was absolute rider error. I got him beat." " Committing to go, then Letting him down and confusing him, start stop, start stop riding were the mistakes. Start, stop, start stop, letting him down, confusing, & easing up after making moves were the big mistakes in both races that got the better horse beat. As well as getting out ridden with race riding.
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha! That's hilarious. Sunday Silence was far better than EG. Preakness proved it and this race confirms it. He won easy no matter what Day said. They kept using him and he kept losing Nice gig. Second money better than no money which is what would have happened if he had been replaced.

In DRF articles in recent years & in the last few years of his life, SS'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 performed miracles for horses with major enhancements in performance. 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 with major enhancements in performance. The U.S. DEA filed suit against Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers & very strong amphetamines, etc. Harthill was arrested many times (Ky, Ill, La, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. Ss's vet Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history." Besides Harthill admitting it, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities.
@@JoeKoOhNo if Pat Day was such a bad jockey on EG why keep using him? thise excuses excuses I guess these people will never get over it Sunday Silence showed he was the superior horse.
Great horses and great rivalry between Easy Goer and Sunday Silence. Easy Goer was a great Hall of Famer everywhere, however Easy Goer was a true champion running in many drug free and medication free championship races, and this is an important point. New York's no-medication no-drug rules during that era 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 in that era. 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, Tight Spot, Dance Smartly, Hollywood Wildcat, 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 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.
+sbdgrwnmrw FJ? I think you meant Blushing John [BJ instead of FJ]. Actually Florida allowed drugs and medications, and Blushing John was one of the many horses during that era that could not compete without the drugs and medications. I mentioned him when I said : Back then, the connections of many top horses, including Blushing John, 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.

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.
+Carlos Steve Levine thank you for clarifying for me... help me understand here if you don't mind... the one's you stated admitted freely i'll just have to take your word for but do you think there is any chance that SS or EG may have used anything outside of New York? The whole "drug thing" in horse racing seems to be one of those "talked about" but "not talked about" enigma's... i know absolutely nothing about it... my only questions/concerns would be does it kill horses on a regular basis? or severely hinder their quality of life or life expectancy?
+sbdgrwnmrw Easy Goer and Sunday Silence both never used the anti bleeder and diuretic medication Lasix in their entire careers. Both horses were not bleeders. That was great because the diuretic anti bleeder medication Lasix can mask other drugs by flushing prohibited substances from a horse's system in order to elude post-race detection. Obviously Easy Goer ran the vast majority of his races in New York with no drugs or medications at all. As far both horses using other legal drugs [other than Lasix] in other races outside New York, I am not sure. The other horses I mentioned that were drug users are easily found if you did a search and researched them. They are easily found on the internet if you searched these horses. Obviously the drugs and medications can help a horse run better and faster. They can also hinder and do a lot of damage as well. I think that many drugs and medications can enhance performance, mask injuries and soundness problems, cause catastrophic breakdowns and lameness, give horses advantages in helping them breathe better, mask other drugs in system, make horses much less durable, become reliant on the drugs, etc.
Many Fans Just look at the results...But Easy Goer came into this Race off a Long Grueling historic campaign and was Training Poorly and Connections were going to scratch him from this race as He was Not doing well and his ankles were flaring up...Sunday Silence was So Fresh and Ready coming into this Race...Easy Goer Only losing by a Neck was Amazing to me considering the Circumstances Entering the Race and How Sluggish he was Until Deep stretch...100% Ready Easy Goer Crushes this Field as the Heavy 1-1 Favorite...Also took what McCarron called Best ride of his career to Beat Easy Goer
Travis West, It looks "kinda bad" that what you wrote is totally false. Easy Goer won outside of drug-less NY [plus NY outlawed and prohibited his magic man criminal crooked corrupt crook veterinarian Alex Harthill] when he ran the fastest 7 furlongs of the entire year in Florida winning the Swale Stakes sizzling around that sharp turn and obliterating a multiple G1 winner. Eg lost a few races by the slimmest of margins outside of drug-less NY to the drug-needed s.s., who was totally dependent on and needed all of his performance enhancing drugs, as well as s.s. being totally dependent on his magic man criminal crooked corrupt criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally juicing and doping his horses; plus Harthill confessed to illegally juicing and doping s.s.]. It looks as bad as can be that s.s. was never able to win without all of his performance enhancing drugs, and that s.s. could never win without his magic man criminal crooked corrupt juicer crook veterinarian Alex Harthill illegally juicing and doping s.s. And that counts against s.s. It also looks as bad as can be that s.s. also could not win on bigger tracks with a larger circumference than a mile (s.s. had a LOSING RECORD at his larger HOME track IN CALIFORNIA at Hollywood Park - s.s. LOST 4 races on bigger tracks). If only they could've faced each other a few or more times in drug-less no-drugs races [as well as without his magic man criminal crooked corrupt crook illegal juicer veterinarian Alex Harthill] and on bigger tracks such as Hollywood, Hialeah, Belmont, Arlington, Saratoga, Atlantic City, Woodbine, Aqueduct, Laurel etc etc. But alas, s.s.'s connections weren't interested.
@Don't Bet Chalk 1997 MORE TOTALLY FALSE nonsense from YOU Travis West. EG, SS and Criminal Type were supposed to meet at the larger ARLINGTON PARK [NOT the larger Hollywood Park home track of s.s. where s.s. had a LOSING record at] in August of 1990, but BOTH s.s. and EG were forced to retire with career ending injuries. What totally false nonsense you repeatedly spew.
@Don't Bet Chalk 1997 No less an authority than than Charlie Whittingham confirms the facts: www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1990-08-03-9002070061-story.html What does that prove? What's your point? Your point proves that the illegally drugged, drug-reliant and magic man criminal crooked corrupt criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s could've competed [could've still competed] in the no-drugs drug-less prestigious, historic, championship G1 races of the G1 Whitney against older horses in a Handicap [conceding weight], the $1 million plus G1 Travers [by far the best race for 3 yo's besides the TC races], the $1 million Woodward vs elders again in another Handicap conceding weight again, the $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup against older horses again [Fall Championship Handicap Triple Crown], the G1 Met, G1 Suburban [Handicap Triple Crown], etc etc etc. No less an authority than Charlie Whittingham confirms these facts: www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1989-06-12-8901300478-story.html Whittingham said: "Easy Goer has twice went by s.s. so fast s.s. never saw him." And, When asked if he would run s.s. drug-less and with no-drugs in all of these rich, prestigious, historic, Championship drug-less G1 races, Whittingham said, "I'd rather run with blue cows and billy goats." And in many other articles, Whittingham also said, "I am highly angered that NY doesn't allow my veterinarian Alex Harthill." His magic man criminal crooked corrupt criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill, arrested an endless amount of times for illegally juicing and doping his horses, plus Harthill confessed to illegally juicing and doping s.s..
@Don't Bet Chalk 1997 Too bad that Arthur Hancock used and uses performance enhancing drugs and chemicals on all of his horses, including the drug-reliant and illegal juicer doper vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence, Harlan, Wanderin Boy, Strodes Creek, Quest, Owsley, Menifee and an endless amount of others.
@Don't Bet Chalk 1997 You have all of the proof, facts and truths shown and given to you; you simply fail to see the proof, truths and facts. Not true at all. Northern Dancer was also totally dependent on illegal illicit drugs and became a great sire worldwide. Ditto Storm Cat, Tapit, Into Mischief, Curlin, Speightstown, Medaglia D' Oro, Unbridled, Unbridled's Song, and numerous others. And many infirm, unsound horses also went on to be great sires like Raise a Native, Danzig, etc. And s.s., a big fish in a very very small pond, took over from the previously dominant sires Northern Taste, Tesco Boy, etc, in the insular, very small pond of the island of Japan. And s.s. also never sired even ONE G1 winner in Europe or the US. And s.s.'s son deep impact was disqualified from a 3rd place finish to last place for testing positive for the same type [An immensely effective powerful performance enhancing BRONCHODILATOR] of illicit, illegal performance enhancing drug that Harthill confessed to illegally giving to s.s.
The 3-1 sports competition win-loss record means as much or as little as all these sports competition win-loss records 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 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.

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. Some of Harthill's other favorite magic making performance enhancing drugs that he administered 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 US Drug Enforcement Administration filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing and using unusual quantities of these and other drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers, and very strong amphetamines, etc. Alex Harthill and 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 was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (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 the DRF, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. History and facts. Case closed!!
Score. Scoreboards. Margins. Charts on rides. The official margin was a neck. Clearly, it was a very rapidly diminishing neck, as Easy Goer rolled by at the wire. The official DRF chart notes SS won "driving." McCarron was told not to hit the horse by his trainer due to his disdain for being whipped (as well as weaving tendencies), but what did he do for it to be "driving"? He was repeatedly & continuously asking him ("driving") to run by throwing crosses (flicking & swooping with the reins, cross reining), and poking him (as McCarron said in the Blood Horse Nov. 11, 1989 article) on his shoulder, and showing him the whip with his left hand. Easy Goer was under a hand ride the last furlong of the Belmont, while widening his margin to win by 8 lengths. The chart noted he won "ridden out" in the Belmont. Both great horses but who was better. The 'better horse'? Better, like beauty is subjective and true in the eyes of the beholder. 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 and 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, rider errors, training and trainer errors, win/loss %'s, trips, amount of races run, post positions, campaign & career earnings with & without bonuses, etc etc and many many more. And even after all of these numerous factors are factored in, who was better is still subjective. 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 you can say other than head to heads with other examples being: 1) Noor beat HOF champ Citation in 4 of 5 races head to head. 2) Beau Purple beat HOF champ Kelso in 3 of 4 races head to head. 3) Big Spruce & Wajima beat HOF champ Forego in 2 of 3 races head to head. 4) Damascus beat Dr Fager in 2 of 4 races head to head. Swaps and Nashua were 1 to 1 head to head. 5) Mehmet & Interco beat John Henry in 2 of 3 races. 6) Darby Creek Road also beat HOF champ John Henry in 3 of 3 races. 7) Cabrini Green also beat John Henry in 4 of 4 races. 8) Cutlass Reality beat HOY Ferdinand in 3 races. 9) Billy Kelly beat Triple Crown champ Sir Barton in 8 of 12 races. 10) Formal Gold beat HOF champ Skip Away in 4 of 6 races. 11)Star of Cozzene beat HOY Kotashaan in 3 of 4 races. 12) Pretense beat HOF champ Native Diver 5 times. 13) Summer Squall beat champion Unbridled in 4 of 6 races head to head. 14) Heritageofgold beat HOF champ Silverbulletday in 3 of 3 races. 15) Akureyri beat champion Pleasant Colony in 3 of 4 races, etc etc. The point also is who was better is subjective.
+John anthony How many times have you responded to me with this same response? I then respond to you, which you then agree with me. Better, or a little better, or way better are all totally subjective and true in the eyes of the beholder.
+John anthony You've responded to me numerous times and I have responded to you numerous times. And each time you agree with me. Better? Better , a lil better, or way better is subjective and true in the eyes of the beholder. Many many greats were behind or tied on the head to head scoreboard, including Citation, Kelso, Easy Goer, Forego, Skip Away, Dr Fager, Damascus, Arts and Letters, Swaps, Nashua, Round Table, Ancient Title, John Henry, Unbridled, Silverbulletday, Pleasant Colony, Sir Barton, Ferdinand, Native Diver, and many many others. Sec lost 3 races to 3 different horses by a combined 11 lengths. Were the horses who were ahead (or tied) on the head to head scoreboards better or a lil better than these? Better is subjective, and there are numerous factors. And even after those factors are factored in, who was better is totally subjective. Noor beat immortal Citation 4 out of 5 races. Beau Purple beat immortal Kelso 3 out of 4. Big Spruce beat immortal Forego 2 out of 3. Interco and Mehmet beat lengendary champ John Henry 2 out of 3. Cabrini Green beat John Henry 4 of 4. Darby Creek Road beat legendary John Henry 3 of 3. HOF champ Damascus beat HOF champ Dr Fager 2 out of 4. Cutlass Reality beat HOY Ferdinand 3 times. Billy Kelly beat Triple Crown winner Sir Barton 8 of 12. Formal Gold beat HOF HOY champ Skip Away 4 out of 6. HOF champ Majestic Prince beat HOF HOY champ Arts and Letters 2 out of 3. Pretense beat HOF champ Native Diver 5 times. Clem beat HOF HOY champ Round Table 3 times. Summer Squall beat Champion Unbridled 4 out of 6. Heritageofgold was beat HOF champ Silverbulletday 3 out of 3 times. Crystal Water beat HOF champ Ancient Title 4 times. Akureyri beat Champ Pleasant Colony 3 out of 4. And what? Who is better? That is totally subjective. There are numerous factors, and even after those factors are factored in, who was better is still totally subjective. Easy Goer and 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 and 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% ; and also records set, near records set, still standing records, campaigns, durability, constitution, dominance and superiority in races - average win margin and average loss margin, weights carried, weight concessions, etc. They were both greats no doubt, but IMO other than SS's slim edge in their head to head races, Easy Goer was better than SS in most - if not all - these other factors and categories. Both greats, but In my opinion Easy Goer was a better horse than SS, and had a superior body of work and career than SS. But of course, once again, better in any way is still totally subjective.
The official margin in the Belmont Stakes was an increasing 8 length margin win by Easy Goer over Sunday Silence, officially 'ridden out'. The official margins in the Preakness and BC Classic were a nose and a neck - the slightest and tiniest of margins, an eyelash, officially 'driving'. Driving is the most vigorous of riding - driving is much more vigorous riding than ridden out. Even with dying very premature, EASY GOER turned out to be a SUPER STALLION with the continued dominance of the American and European Thoroughbred. Even with dying very premature, EASY GOER changed the racing world in the USA and Europe. Easy Goer is in the bloodlines of a numerous amount of G-1 winners in the USA and Europe.

Easy Goer was without a doubt the much better horse on the track when they had to run without all drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & also banned Sunday Silence's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill. The TRUE DRUG-FREE HALL OF FAME CHAMPION EASY GOER was inducted in the Hall of Fame while doing it drug-free without any drugs in all of his races in his career; while the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence did it with the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug), Sublimaze (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute) & Etorphine (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute), plus the powerful performance enhancing diuretic drug Furosemide/Lasix (scientifically proven to give a 9 length performance enhancement), etc etc. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill admitted he gave the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to sunday silence to the DRF's Jay Hovdey in 2001 in 2001 DRF Hovdey article. Harthill was arrested, banned, suspended & fined numerous times in many states for giving many horses illegal performance enhancing drugs. Case closed.
Friggin' AWESOME!!...i watched this live and totally lost my voice screaming for the black horse that nobody wanted....hei s top broodmare sire 2019 and the grandsire of the incredible Almond Eye...who has the last laugh now?....:)
The official margin was a neck. Clearly, it was a very rapidly diminishing neck, as Easy Goer rolled by at the wire. The official DRF chart notes SS won "driving." McCarron was told not to hit the horse by his trainer due to his disdain for being whipped, but what did he do for it to be "driving"? He was repeatedly & continuously asking him ("driving") to run by throwing crosses (flicking & swooping with the reins, cross reining), and poking him (as McCarron said in the Blood Horse Nov. 11, 1989 article) on his shoulder, and showing him the whip with his left hand.
As for the Superior, better horse? Who was better and superior? Everyone admit who was better, superior? Better and superior is subjective, & true in the eyes of the beholder. In 5 races, Noor beat Citation in 4 of the 5. In 4 races, Beau Purple beat Kelso in 3 of the 4. In 3 races, Big Spruce beat Forego in 2 of the 3. In 3 other races, Wajima beat Forego in 2 of the 3. In 3 races, Interco beat John Henry in 2 of the 3. In 3 other races, Mehmet beat John Henry in 2 of the 3. Cabrini Green also beat John Henry 4 times. Darby Creek Road also beat John Henry 3 times. Crystal Water beat Ancient Title in 4 races. In 4 races, Damascus beat Dr Fager in 2 of the 4 races. Cutlass Reality beat Ferdinand in 3 races.

And 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, 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 to ss. I quote the DRF for the factual truths: "Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex 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 illegal drugs, including Clenbuterol to Sunday Silence. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. 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. 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. Some of Harthill's other favorite performance enhancing drugs that he gave his horses were Etorphine (infinitely more powerful than aspirin bute), Banamine (50 times more powerful than aspirin bute) and Sublimaze (infinitely more powerful than aspirin bute). The drugs Etorphine and Sublimaze are drugs that gave/give horses such a sense of euphoria and well-being that they feel like they don’t have legs. The US Drug Enforcement Administration filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing and using unusual quantities of these and other drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers, and very strong amphetamines, etc. Alex Harthill and 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 was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (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 the DRF, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. Case closed.
Easy Goer was the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won 14 races drug-free without any drugs, Easy Goer won 12 stakes races drug-free without any drugs, Easy Goer won 9 G1 races drug-free without any drugs at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f. Sunday Silence won 0 races drug-free without any drugs. EG 14, ss 0; EG 1, ss 0.
And he lost to Sunday Silence three times in four races. Unfortunately--for you--history will always be on Sunday Silence's side. You , on the other hand, have your pet theories as to why Easy Goer lost, which I'm guessing are not a source of much comfort when you watch replays of their races.
Of course scoreboards, scores & numbers LIE & DON'T TELL the TRUTH when it is carried out illegally with performance enhancing drugs. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion EASY GOER 14 wins drug-free without any drugs, SS 0 wins drug-free without any drugs. Easy Goer 14, SS 0 ; EG 1, ss 0 are the TRUE FINAL SCORES. The slight 3-1 edge by the narrowest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss by the slimmest of margins; Harthill admitted he gave the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to ss) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others. It was all attained 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.

And most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Etorphine, Sublimaze, etc) to ss. 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 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). 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 to Sunday Silence, & not Banamine (5 times more powerful than aspirin bute) & Lasix (which were legal in every state in the US except NY back then anyways; but ss was listed as being administered Lasix & Banamine 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.
Of course scoreboards, scores & numbers LIE & DON'T TELL the TRUTH when it is attained illegally with performance enhancing drugs. The slight 3-1 edge by the slimmest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss the narrowest of margins; ss's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitted to giving ss illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze) is equivalent to the "final scores in the record books" for Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, Floyd Landis, East Germany in Olympics, Ben Johnson, Diego Maradona, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro, Jose Canseco, Ken Caminiti, Jason Giambi, etc., plus all of the G1 winners that Jason Servis & Jorge Navarro trained, including G1 winners Maximum Security, World of Trouble, Firenze Fire, Sharp Azteca, XY Jet, Private Zone, El Deal & many others. All of these horses also won G1 races illegally with illegal ped drugs, & the racing associations HAVE NOT & CANNOT GO BACK & "take him down" (dq him) from these wins YEARS AFTER all winning purse money has been long ago (MANY YEARS BEFORE) paid out. Ditto that The drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Harthill-reliant sunday silence also won by the slimmest of margins illegally with illegal ped drugs, & the racing associations HAVE NOT & CANNOT GO BACK & "take him down" (dq him) from these wins YEARS AFTER all winning purse money has been long ago (MANY YEARS BEFORE) paid out. Why wasn't the illegal vet of ss, Harthill, given jail time, lengthy bans, fines, etc? HE WAS MANY TIMES! The US DEA filed suit against Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of these & other drugs. Harthill was arrested, banned, suspended & fined many other times for tampering, bribery & illegally doping horses with drugs, & he lost his license in many states many times. But, Harthill DIED only a few years after he admitted in 2001 to DRF to illegally administering illegal ped drugs (Clenbuterol, Etorphine, Sublimaze, etc) to the drug-reliant & illegal vet Harthill-reliant ss (& many other horses). Harthill DIED before these 2001 admissions could be penalized. So much for the "final scores in the record books" meaning something or meaning anything at all. The only final scores & records that count, & the only ones in the record books are those that were/are run drug-free without any drugs, & that is why the scores are Easy Goer 14, SS 0; & EG 1, ss 0. The slight 3-1 edge by the narrowest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss by the slimmest of margins, admitted to by ss's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitting to giving ss illegal performance enhancing drugs) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others.

No-drugs races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. The only final scores & records that count, & the only ones in the record books are those that were/are run drug-free without any drugs, & that is why the TRUE FINAL scores are Easy Goer 14, SS 0; & EG 1, ss 0.
"The use & abuse of drugs disgraced & dishonored the year of Sunday Silence. All should not bestow honors on drug-dependent horses. Even trainer Charlie Whittingham acknowledged his colt's impediments, & didn't run him in the Travers Stakes in view of the fact that he wouldn't have been able to utilize drugs there in New York. Sunday Silence, & many other horses, would never have made it minus drugs. Sunday Silence is a drug-dependent horse. ALL of his races IN 1989, EXCEPT the Belmont Stakes in New York, came with the benefit of various drugs, INCLUDING the diuretic DRUG FUROSEMIDE, which is a performance enhancer in many ways & can flush & mask the presence of many other illegal drugs in drug tests. Sunday Silence required the assistance of drugs to WIN his races, while he sustained a MONUMENTAL LOSS to Easy Goer when he wasn't able to use the drugs. Because of Sunday Silence's advantage of drugs, all call into question his accomplishments as a horse. Sunday Silence, like Sunny's Halo, Spend a Buck, Gate Dancer & Wild Again before him, is a classic, illustrative example of why drugs & racing don't merge, especially at the sport's highest level. After his narrow drug-aided wins in the Kentucky Derby & Preakness, Sunday Silence went to New York in search of winning the Belmont Stakes & the Triple Crown. Because New York doesn't allow horses to run on any drugs -it's the only jurisdiction in America that doesn't-the suspicion was whether he could win without being given the drugs. It was a distressingly captivating matter in question, which served to remove the Triple Crown of the excitement & allure it has always had. Sunday Silence got overwhelmed in the Belmont, finishing a widening 8 lengths behind Easy Goer. Sunday Silence required the assistance of drugs to WIN his races, while he sustained a monumental loss when he wasn't able to use the drugs. Even trainer Charlie Whittingham acknowledged his colt's impediments, & didn't run him in the Travers Stakes in view of the fact that he wouldn't have been able to utilize drugs there in New York. No wonder so many condemn the usage of drugs. Sunday Silence, & many other horses, would never have made it minus drugs. The use & abuse of drugs disgraced & dishonored the year of Sunday Silence. All should not bestow honors on drug-dependent horses." DRF Jan 90 Mike Watchmaker.
The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion is Easy Goer. 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, by far, is being inducted in the Hall of Fame, and Easy Goer did it drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer's career accomplishments and body of work were far superior to the drug-reliant and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence. The litmus test of a champion is winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs at all, and the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer Obliterated the drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs (and, as importantly, also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well; Harthill was 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-dependent horses like ss; and these horses, like ss and 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. Only No-drug drug-free races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drug drug-free races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. And, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs to ss; but he couldn't do so in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs and banned Alex Harthill as well. The drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence got obliterated when he couldn't get all of his performance enhancing drugs from his illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs (and also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well). Talk about a horse that needed to bring his illegal performance enhancing drugs and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill with him - ss is just that horse, a drug-reliant horse, an illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant horse! The drug-reliant & illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence NEEDED EVERYTHING in his favor to beat the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins in a few races. The drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence LOST 4 RACES on larger tracks with circumferences bigger than a mile (including ss having a LOSING RECORD while LOSING 3 races at his larger HOME track at the bigger circumferenced Hollywood Park track). Talk about a horse that needed to bring his track with him, ss is just that horse! Meanwhile, the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won Drug-free G1's at 7f, 1 mile, 1 1/8m, 1 1/4m & 1 1/2m on all 3 sized tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized tracks) drug-free with much less rest and time between races and ran far more races with faster times at all distances and ran far superior speed figures and far superior performance ratings; while the drug-dependent and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence only won G1's with performance enhancing drugs and his illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill and only at 9f to 10f only with performance enhancing drugs and only on small 8f sized tracks and with much more rest and time between races and ran far less races even with performance enhancing drugs. Talk about a horse that needed to bring his illegal performance enhancing drugs and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill with him - ss is just that horse, a drug-reliant horse, an illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant horse! Talk about a horse that needed to bring his one sized small 8f track with him, ss is just that horse. 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.
"And Now Easy Goer is beginning to Roll. Sunday Silence Bracing for the Oncoming Power of Easy Goer, who's right at his neck. Sunday Silence surges to the front. Easy Goer With One Final Acceleration and Sunday Silence Holds On by a Desperate Neck in a Racing Epic!" The 89' Preakness calls were great too. Johnson's: "And down the stretch they come. Heads apart. Easy Goer on the inside with a slight lead, on the outside Sunday Silence! The rest of them far back! Here's the finish of the Preakness. Photo finish, noses apart! A dramatic photo finish! What a Finish!" Denman's: "Easy Goer's Pulling Day Out of the Saddle Going Right on By! Sunday Silence Coming Back on the Outside! And Here's the Race We've Been Waiting For! Head and Head Through the Stretch. What a Horse Race this One Is! Easy Goer and Sunday Silence Going Nose and Nose!" Durkin's call of Arazi may have been the best: "Here Indeed is a Super Star! Arazi Absolutely Brilliant! Absolutely Sensational!"
Acknowledge both horses greatness so neither is depreciated. I'm just as guilty of it too citing drug-free races, races with drugs, track sizes, G1 wins at different distances, running differing fluctuating distances, rest and time between races, etc. But, I quote: "The two were inches apart and each proved the other's greatness. Both never beat the other in a way that proved either were better in any way, and each race left no one thinking it could not have gone the other way. Easy Goer & Sunday Silence were the others double, the itches each could not scratch. At no point was either allowed to let themselves blink, lest the other steal the show. The two were as close as the fingers of a fist. Easy Goer & Sunday Silence were the living embodiment of what the old-timer said when asked which gunfighter was faster: 'I’d hate to have to live on the difference.”
The official margin in the Belmont Stakes was an increasing 8 length margin win by Easy Goer over Sunday Silence, officially 'ridden out'. The official margins in the Preakness and BC Classic were a nose and a neck - the slightest and tiniest of margins, an eyelash, officially 'driving'. Driving is the most vigorous of riding - driving is much more vigorous riding than ridden out. The many attempts that have been made to generate Sunday Silence's sire-line outside the insular, restricted, big fish in small pond Japan have had very little to very modest success, demonstrating his worth outside Japan is minimal - sons of Sunday Silence that have stood at stud outside Japan in Europe, Australia and the U.S.A. have had very little to very modest success, including Divine Light, Born King, Keep the Faith, Layman, Tayasu Tsuyoshi, Real Impact, Bubble Gum Fellow, Genuine, Hat Trick, Silent Name, Fuji Kiseki, Fusaichi Zenon, Agnes Gold, Victoire Pisa, Neorealism, Brave Smash, Black Tuxedo, et cetera. Sunday Silence himself did not even sire one G-1 winner in all of Europe and the U.S.A., and many attempted to, including Dance Partner, Dance in the Mood, Sundrop, Layman, Keep the Faith, Silent Name, Deep Impact {disqualified from 3rd place finish due to a positive drug test for an illegal drug}, To the Victory, Zenno Rob Roy, Heart's Cry, Sunday Joy, Seven Moons, Negotiator, Wild Sunday and others - All of these sons and daughters of Sunday Silence lost all of their G-1 races in Europe and the U.S.A. The great Japanese sires Sunday Silence and Deep Impact both took over from Northern Taste and Tesco Boy as leading sire in the insular, restricted, big fish in small pond Japan. While a few Deep Impact's have had success with G-1 wins in Europe, et cetera, it must be noted that he was bred to the best of the best Coolmore Galileo, Sadler's Wells and Giant's Causeway mares to do so in most cases - and in the other cases he was bred to the best of the best Niarchos family mares who are descendants of the great Miesque. However, none of these compare to Galileo, Danehill, Sadler's Wells, Northern Dancer, Mr. Prospector, Danzig, Native Dancer, Bold Ruler, Man o' War and some others. Dubawi, Tapit, Curlin, Sea the Stars and Frankel may be on their way to these aforementioned sires above. Japan's great successes cannot be attributed only because Sunday Silence and Deep Impact. While SS's blood is oversaturated in Japan, some horses without any SS blood have also been leading sires in Japan, including the aforementioned Northern Taste and Tesco Boy, as well as King Kamehameha, Symboli Kris S, Kurofune, Rulership, Harbinger, Sakura Bakushin O, Brian's Time and Lord Kanaloa. Many horses without any SS blood at all have been greats in Japan and worldwide, including all of these G-1 winners: Panthalassa {G-1 Saudi Cup & G-1 Dubai Turf winner}, El Condor Pasa {G-1 winner in Europe}, Taiki Shuttle {G-1 winner in Europe}, Seeking the Pearl {G-1 winner in Europe}, Lord Kanaloa, Vodka, TM Opera O, Jungle Pocket, King Kamehameha, Apapane, Narita Brian, Symboli Kris S, Meisho Samson, Rey de Oro, Agnes Digital, Mayano Top Gun, Air Groove, Grass Wonder, Tap Dance City, Sweep Tosho, Satono Crown, et cetera.
Yeah, and the official record was Sunday Silence 3 wins and 1 loss versus Easy Goer and Easy Goer 1 win and 3 losses versus Sunday Silence including getting hammered by Sunday Silence in the Debry that you "conveniently" failed to mention you clown. Reality is Sunday Silence beat Easy Goer 3 of the 4 times they faced each other and regardless of what they did in the breeding shed, Sunday Silence was the SUPERIOR horse on the racetrack! FACT! Officially speaking clown. LOL 🙂

YOU, Travis West (aka Big City, aka Sig Scorpion, aka and endless amount of other yt usernames), just opened another yt account on August 17, 2022. We all know!
Not racing. Head to head records? Who was better? Superior Body of work, superior career, wins against open company-older horses, weights, records, times, dominance-superiority etc etc etc are just some of the many factors. And even after those factors are factored in, who is better is still subjective. Better is totally subjective & true in the eyes of the beholder. Examples of this: Noor beat Citation in 4 of 5 races head to head. Final score, Noor-4 Cy-1. Beau Purple beat Kelso in 3 of 4 races head to head. Final score Beau Purple-3, Kelso-1. Big Spruce beat Forego in 2 of 3 races head to head. Final score BigS-2, Forego-1. Wajima also beat Forego in 2 of 3 races head to head. Final score, Waj-2, Forego-1. Damascus beat Dr Fager in 2 of 4 races head to head. Final score 2-2. Both Interco & Mehmet beat John Henry in 2 of 3 races head to head. Final score Interco-2, JH-1. Mehmet-2, JH-1. Cabrini Green beat John Henry 4 times head to head. Final score CG-4, JH-0. Darby Creek Road beat John Henry 3 times head to head. Cutlass Reality beat Ferdinand 3 times head to head. Billy Kelly beat Triple Crown winner Sir Barton in 8 of 12 races head to head. Final score, Billy Kelly-8, Sir Barton-4. Formal Gold beat Skip Away in 4 of 6 races head to head. Final score, FG-4,Skip Away-2. Star Of Cozzene beat Kotashaan in 3 of 4 races head to head. Pretense beat Native Diver in 5 races head to head. Akureyri beat Pleasant Colony in 3 of 4 races head to head. Final score, Akureyri-3, Pleasant Colony-1. Even after all those many factors are factored in, who is better is totally subjective.
Both great horses. Though Easy Goer ran all of these historic races among the Top 1 to 5 fastest all time runnings(many of them with over 100 runnings): Belmont at 12f, Gotham at 8f, Whitney at 9f, Travers at 10f, Champagne at 8f, Suburban at 10f, including running the fastest mile of all time by any 3 yr old in 1:32:2, second fastest Belmont of all time with only Secretariat ever faster. & in addition running right on the track record at 6.5f & the fastest 7f of the year in Florida.
@@JohnDoe-jp8fx You still won’t let it go. I bet you don’t know that prepping for the Super Derby Sunday Silence worked one mile at Del Mar in 1:33 2/5-in hand from a standing start, tying the track record of 4-year old, Precisionist, who is in the Hall of Fame. Insofar as Easy Goer’s blistering Gotham goes, Dispersal won the NYRA mile at Aqueduct, bucking s strong headwind in 1:32 4/5 on a track not nearly as fast as Aqueduct’s in the Gotham. And the nose loss in the Preakness? Sunday Silence missed a week of training due to a stone bruise, Day dropped Easy Goer in on him on the backstretch causing him to take up and lose two to three lengths. His move to collar Easy Goer on the turn and then have enough left in the tank to win was almost supernatural. Give it up. Easy Goer dropped three out of four and that’s the way it will stay in the books no matter how much you blame Pat Day.
@@andredarin8966 I like Prized he won the BC Turf after losing to Easygoer and beating Sunday Silence over the Summer. Hmmm the Super Derby interesting prep they allow drugs I believe? If you think a jockey or trainer doesn’t make a difference then you should play checkers and stay away from the sport of kings…..
@@JohnDoe-jp8fx Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill told all how & why the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the slimmest of margins in a few races. Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself." The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer cremated the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. "Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work. Harthill Discloses He Administered Forbidden Performance-Enhancing Drugs To Many American Classic Winners In The Kentucky Derby, Preakness And Breeders' Cup Classic." How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill said, 'I (Harthill) was used for horses (Sunday Silence, etc) pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses (Sunday Silence, etc) I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won. You can only revere the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself. By doing so, I acknowledge that I effectively stole a large amount of money in my career, & cheated many other horses, trainers, owners & riders I competed against. Nonetheless, I consider my extensive doping as a mark of pride.' " Case closed.
Anyone who was alive then and following horse racing closely knew that Easy Goer was slightly the better horse of the two. But he had some physical problems, and S.S., who was more maneuverable with better quick speed, generally got better rides when it counted.
People continue to make excuses - the debate is over - Sunday Silence PROVED, on the track, he was Easy Goer's better. Over and over again. He beat Easy Goer 3 out of 4 times. There are no excuses - Easy Goer was a nice horse who met his better.
***** What? Better is subjective, and true in the eyes of the beholder. ALL of these horses PROVED what? That they could beat another horse more than once. Better, like beauty , is true in the eyes of the beholder. Better is subjective though. Noor beat Citation 4 out of 5 times on different tracks, diff "styles". Beau Purple beat Kelso 3 out of 4 times on different tracks, diff "styles". Big Spruce beat Forego 2 out of 3 times. Wajima also beat Forego 2 out of 3 times. EG was 3-1 behind ss. Interco beat John Henry 2 out of 3 times. Mehmet also beat John Henry 2 out of 3 times on different tracks, " ". Cabrini Green also beat John Henry 4 times. Damascus beat Dr Fager 2 out of 4 times on the same track. Formal Gold beat Skip Away 4 out of 6 times on different tracks, diff. styles, in 1997, yet Skip Away won Eclipse Awards & is in HOF & in BH Top 100. Billy Kelly beat Hall of Fame Triple Crown champion Sir Barton 8 out of 12 times on different tracks, diff styles, yet Sir Barton is in HOF & in BH Top 100. Summer Squall beat Unbridled 4 out of 6 times on different tracks, diff styles, yet Unbridled won eclipse awards. Crystal beat HOF Champion Ancient Title 4 times, yet AT is in HOF & won eclipse awards. Seattle Slew romped over Affirmed 2 times in 1978, yet Aff still won HOY in 78'. Radar Ahead beat Affirmed 2 times(only a 3lb weight difference in both) in 1979. Cutlass Reality beat Ferdinand 3 times. Pretense beat HOF Champion Native Diver 5 times on different tracks, yet ND is in HOF & in BH Top 100. Akureyri beat champion Pleasant Colony 3 out of 4 times on different tracks. Bet Twice beat Alysheba 3 out of 5 times in 1987 on different tracks,diff. styles, yet Aly won eclipse award in 1987, & is in HOF & in BH Top 100. Heritage of Gold beat HOF champ Silverbulletday 3 times, yet Silverbulletday won eclipse awards & is in HOF. Star of Cozzene beat Kotashaan 3 times, yet K won eclipse awards. Sandpit beat Northern Spur 3 times, yet NS won e.awards. The point is: Who was "better" is subjective, and true in the eyes of the beholder.
DELMARCLUB1 When it comes to this rivalry, the facts seem pretty clear - Sunday won the Derby, the Preakness, the Classic and Horse of the Year - Easy Goer won the Belmont. Sunday was also a leading sire - with get with wins exceeding over half a billion dollars, sadly, that comparison can't truly be made equally as Easy Goer died much younger than Sunday but my point is - favorite or who you prefer is something that can be argued, but who was the better RACEhorse was made pretty clear - maybe it isn't what many people wanted, but time and time again Sunday beat Easy Goer, he was the better race horse. I get Easy Goer was a popular horse, an important horse, but the slew of excuses that surround his 3 defeats to Sunday Silence are a little much - just because Sunday was the better of the TWO, doesn't take away from the great horse Easy Goer was.
***** That is false. Who was a better horse is absolutely subjective, and like beauty, in the eyes of the beholder. It was inches(a nose) away from being 2-2 to head to head. Then your subjective opinions must mean that all these horses/head to heads I listed, were better to you because they also CLEARLY(facts were also CLEAR) were ahead on the head to head? Noor, Beau Purple, Interco, Mehmet, Big Spruce, Wajima, Cabrini Green, Billy Kelly, Formal Gold, Damascus, Summer Squall, Bet Twice, Radar Ahead, Cutlass Reality, Pretense, Crystal Water,Akureyri,Heritage of Gold, etc were "better" to you than Citation,Kelso,John Henry,Forego,Sir Barton,Skip Away,Dr Fager,Unbridled,Alysheba,Affirmed,Ferdinand,Ancient Title,Pleasant Colony,Silverbulletday etc etc?? Head to head is ONLY one factor of many many many factors(best performances, campaigns, superiority in many races, times, records broke,weight concessions to older horses, beating older horses, body of work,overall career,etc etc etc). Better is subjective in ALL cases, including Easy Goer. You obviously see the point.
For a jockey who won so many races he could be extremely frustrating to bet on. He lost a lot of races by being overly patient. If I had had his horse I felt much better when he rode upfront or near the lead. I dreaded him having to come from off the pace. He would often have best horse and show up too late.
It's 2023 and Easy Goer was and will always be better than sunday silence. Easy Goer was a faster, better, greater, superior horse than sunday silence.
The only Hall of Fame inductions, Eclipse Awards, races & records that count are those that were/are run drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs at all, without any drugs at all, & that is why the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer's Hall of Fame induction, Eclipse Awards, races & records count (& Not the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence), & the legal, moral, ethical score is Easy Goer 14 wins drug-free without any drugs, SS 0 drug-free without any drugs; Easy Goer 14, SS 0; EG 1, ss 0. The TRUE DRUG-FREE HALL OF FAME CHAMPION EASY GOER earned induction in the Hall of Fame & earned Eclipse Awards while doing it drug-free without any ped drugs, without any drugs, in all of his races in his career; while the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence did it with the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug), Sublimaze (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute) & Etorphine (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute), plus the powerful performance enhancing diuretic drug Furosemide/Lasix (a study of 23,000 races proved it gives a 6 TO 9 LENGTH performance enhancement, plus it reduces body weight by 16lbs to 25 pounds, & is the main drug which masks other drugs), etc etc. Harthill admitted he gave the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to sunday silence. Harthill was arrested, banned, suspended & fined numerous times in many states for giving many horses illegal performance enhancing drugs. During that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs, & had the most advanced out-of-competition & raceday drug testing. Plus, as importantly, NY banned the illegal criminal vet of ss Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally drugging an endless amount of horses; & Harthill admitted that he illegally gave illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine, etc) to 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 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 races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. EG dusted ss when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. EG only lost by the slimmest of margins in a few races to ss because ss needed & was given the ped drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine, plus Furosemide/Lasix (a study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 6 to 9 length performance enhancement), etc etc. Easy Goer won 14 races, 12 stakes races, 9 G1 races drug-free without any drugs on all 3 sized tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized tracks) at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f with much less time & rest between races & ran many more career races in faster times at all distances; while ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with ped drugs & only on small 8f sized tracks with much more time & rest between races & ran far less career races. Easy Goer was far better & far superior. Period. EG demolished ss when they were forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs. EG was the better horse plain & simple. It's the truth based on Harthill's voluntary admission to DRF Hovdey in 01, plus all of the 88-90 DRF Forms; 2012 NY Post article titled "The 11 horses who missed out on Triple Crown at Belmont" found on the web; DRF's Mike Watchmaker, Ed Fountaine & Paul Moran; Wikipedia articles with many reliable sources cited; 2 Claiborne books; NY Law; DRF, Bloodhorse & Thor.

Why did Pat Day let Sunday Silence move to the lead on the turn ?...He was directly behind him....Instead of being a length off Sunday Silence heading into the stretch Easy Goer was 10 lengths behind...Will never understand why Pat Day waited and never made his move when Sunday Silence did with such a short stretch like Gulfstream...Closing to lose by a "neck" is always on the Jock...
not Pat's fault. EG simply couldn't run the turn like SS. McCarron even said he never worried about where EG was in relation to SS going into the turn because he'd just beat him around the turn and then beat EG to the wire. it's on video if you watch it. people will say Pat started and stopped him but he didnt the horse had to slow to get around the turn.
@@robertmichael735 Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill told all how & why the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the slimmest of margins in a few races. Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself." The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer cremated the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. "Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work. Harthill Discloses He Administered Forbidden Performance-Enhancing Drugs To Many American Classic Winners In The Kentucky Derby, Preakness And Breeders' Cup Classic." How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill said, 'I (Harthill) was used for horses (Sunday Silence, etc) pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses (Sunday Silence, etc) I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won. You can only revere the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself. By doing so, I acknowledge that I effectively stole a large amount of money in my career, & cheated many other horses, trainers, owners & riders I competed against. Nonetheless, I consider my extensive doping as a mark of pride.' " Case closed.

And 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 (Clenbuterol, 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 to ss. I quote the DRF for the factual truths: "Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex 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 illegal drugs, including Clenbuterol to Sunday Silence. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. 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. 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. Some of Harthill's other favorite performance enhancing drugs that he administered were Etorphine (infinitely more powerful than aspirin bute), Banamine (50 times more powerful than aspirin bute) and Sublimaze (infinitely more powerful than aspirin bute). 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 US Drug Enforcement Administration filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing and using unusual quantities of these and other drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers, and very strong amphetamines, etc. Alex Harthill and 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 was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (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 the DRF, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. Case closed.
Cope harder. You don't lose 3 times in 4 races and can only win the race at the most unnatural distance and be the better horse. Nice storybook, though.
The Most Natural & Classic Distance for the whole world is 12f, 1 1/2m. The litmus test of a champion is winning drug-free without any drugs, & New York was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs, & also banned sunday silence's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer destroyed the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs. When forced to run drug-free without any drugs, the better horse (Easy Goer) not only wins but crushes the inferior drug-reliant horse (sunday silence). You don't win races by the slimmest of margins with the performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine & Furosemide (scientifically proven to give a 9 length performance enhancement) like sunday silence did & be the better horse. True storybook.

Besides these facts and truths, more facts and truths were back in those days New York was the ONLY state in the entire country at the time which banned ALL drugs. So ss was FORCED to run drug-free with no drugs at all only one time in one race. 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 & painkillers were listed. ss was listed as being administered the drugs, while EG was listed as NOT being administered any drugs at all.

@@sigscorpion9275 This is NOT hearsay, this is the complete OPPOSITE of hearsay. When the criminal cheater 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 criminal cheater 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.

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.
The litmus test of a champion is winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs at all, and the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer Obliterated the drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs (and, as importantly, also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well). The drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence got obliterated when he couldn't get all of his performance enhancing drugs from his illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs (and also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well). Talk about a horse that needed to bring his illegal performance enhancing drugs and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill with him - ss is just that horse, a drug-reliant horse, an illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant horse! The drug-reliant & illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence NEEDED EVERYTHING in his favor to beat the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins in a few races. The drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence LOST 4 RACES on larger tracks with circumferences bigger than a mile (including ss having a LOSING RECORD while LOSING 3 races at his larger HOME track at the bigger circumferenced Hollywood Park oval). Talk about a horse that needed to bring his track with him, ss is just that horse! Meanwhile, the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won Drug-free G1's at 7f, 1 mile, 1 1/8m, 1 1/4m & 1 1/2m on all 3 sized tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized tracks) drug-free with much less rest and time between races and ran far more races with faster times at all distances and ran far superior speed figures and far superior performance ratings; while the drug-dependent and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence only won G1's with performance enhancing drugs and his illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill only at 9f to 10f only with performance enhancing drugs and only on small 8f sized tracks and with much more rest and time between races and ran far less races even with performance enhancing drugs. Talk about a horse that needed to bring his illegal performance enhancing drugs and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill with him - ss is just that horse, a drug-reliant horse, an illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant horse! Talk about a horse that needed to bring his one sized small track with him, ss is just that horse
1989 HOY and the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Sunday Silence will always be the Drug-Free Test of the Champion (The Classic Distance for the whole world) winner; the most coveted prize is being the 1989 Horse of the year and Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion in the Hall of Fame and beat Easy Goer 3 out of 4 times.
Day was a very successful, HOF jockey. No denying it. But IMO his patented style wasn't a great fit for Easy Goer. Sure, Easy Goer was so immensely & phenomenally talented, he was going to win many races super impressively no matter who rode him.There are interviews also where Day & Mcgaughey state he did make errors in both the Classic & Preakness, as well as a few of his wins(not just losses) also. Pat Day took more abuse than any other jockey(rightfully so IMO) from trainers, experts, fans and the press. Pat Day's comments may be contradicting, but his riding was also contradicting. Article in the Daily News- "Pat Day is a maze of contradictions. He rides slowly, patiently, serenely and cautiously in a world where everybody, especially jockeys, do not. After a brutal, way too patient ride on Seeking the Gold in the 1988 Travers, Day almost ran into the stands at irate fans who were wondering(many times) what he was waiting for. The clock in his head was a sundial on his ride on Java Gold in the 87' Jockey Club." Day also wasn't a good gate rider at all. When a huge, behemoth of a horse has huge momentum, just go Pat, don't grab up & take up & wait for your rival.
Pat Day's admitted major errors in his riding of stop go, go stop, stop go, go wait, cost the better horse Big Easy, who could blow by and explode & catapult by ss. Easy Goer would be exploding in full stride, in full flame, in best stride, screaming to run and then be geared down, eased up taken in hand, into his stop-go, go stop, go wait. Inexcusable and Day knew it, and still knows it and states it.
EASYGOERFLIES The Drug-free Easy Goer was far superior to the drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence!! Noor beat Citation 4 out of 5 meetings.

The drug-free Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes proved without a doubt who was best by far because New York was the only racing state in the entire country at the time which banned all raceday performance enhancing drugs; and as importantly, NY also banned the crooked, corrupt, blatant cheater veterinarian of the drug-dependent Sunday Silence, Alex Harthill.

"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. Sunday Silence had been TREATED WITH DRUGS, NOTABLY THE PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG FUROSEMIDE, in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders' Cup Classic when narrowly 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 & debates 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." Paul Moran of DRF, News-day & LA Times. Furosemide/Lasix is a potent performance enhancing drug which masks & flushes other banned drugs, plus it reduces body weight by 16 to 25lbs & many studies show Furosemide/Lasix gives a significant 6 to 9 length performance enhancement. Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill also ADMITTED to giving sunday silence the immensely effective performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze, who benefited immeasurably by all of their incredibly effective performance enhancing effects.
Pat Day MADE Big Mistakes in this race when Easy Goer could have won and won easily. He Made it a close one when EG could have won & won convincingly. He Made a mess of things, and he Put him in big holes with his multiple mistakes.
Indeed. Easy Goer is in with some great company with so many other greats who were behind or tied in head-to-head scoreboards. Kelso lost 3 of 4 to Beau Purple. Citation lost 4 of 5 to Noor. Forego lost 2 of 3 to Big Spruce. Dr Fager lost 2 of 4 to Damascus. John Henry lost 4 of 4 to Cabrini Green. John Henry lost 3 of 3 to Darby Creek Road. Skip Away lost 4 of 6 to Formal Gold. Sir Barton lost 8 of 12 to Billy Kelly. Shuvee lost 4 of 5 to Gallant Bloom. Pleasant Colony lost 3 of 4 to Akureyri. And an endless amount more. Who's better is totally subjective, and there are an endless amount of other factors; and even after those endless amount of other factors are factored in, who's better is totally subjective. Easy Goer was a better horse than SS. Pat V and McCarron were better jockeys than Pat Day. And the master trainer Whittingham was a better trainer than McGaughey. Day and McGaughey both admit their was many rider mistakes and jockey errors made. Day self admits it. McGaughey made just as many mistakes and errors, not only training-wise, but by leaving Day on even after he admitted and criticized Day's riding errors and mistakes.
Better Better in any way is totally subjective. There was the Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes (the classic distance for the whole world) where Easy Goer destroyed him in the only state in the entire country during that era that banned all drugs & medications. Balanced against that are two wins by Sunday Silence against Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins, and a total of 3 wins which SS won by a combined margin of less than two and three-quarter lengths. So SS held the slight 3-1 edge against EG with 3 wins coming in close wins and a loss in which he was destroyed. Easy Goer also ran the record mile one full second faster than Secretariat's record. Easy Goer also ran a better, faster Ragozin speed figure than Secretariat did in their respective Belmont Stakes. Easy Goer also ran some of the greatest, fastest all timer performances at every distance he ran - 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Easy Goer generally ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances. Easy Goer more often ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances, including many outstanding, perennial all timer performances at every distance - 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Sunday Silence lost 36% of his races, mostly to lesser horses including Houston, Prized, Criminal Type, and Cro Lover. Better in any way is totally subjective. 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 MINUSCULE 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). 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, including 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. 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. 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.
Pat Day's take off full of run, then ease up, grab a hold, gear down, start stop stop start, confusing, commit then un commit riding cost the better & faster horse(2nd fastest ranked all time on stats) by a snout & despairing neck in a few races
The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion was Easy Goer. The True Drug-Free Eclipse Award Champion was Easy Goer. The Drug-Free Test of the Champion is the Belmont Stakes. The Classic Distance for the whole world is 1 1/2m - 12f. The most coveted honor & prize is being inducted in the Hall of Fame, & Easy Goer did it drug-free without any drugs. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer 14 wins drug-free without any drugs, SS 0 wins drug-free without any drugs. EG 14, ss 0; EG 1, ss 0. Easy Goer 14, SS 0 is the legal, moral, ethical score & the only one that counts legally, morally & ethically, & is in the legal, moral, ethical record books. The only records that count & the only ones in the record books are those that were/are run drug-free without any drugs, & that is why the legal, moral, ethical score is Easy Goer 14, SS 0. The 3-1 (done ILLEGALLY by the narrowest of margins by ss) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others. It was all done ILLEGALLY by ss by the slimmest of margins - 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. 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, NY 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 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 races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs 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). 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 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 forever.
That finishing call by DJ is still my favorite of all time. Gives me chills: “Sunday silence surges to the front” “one final acceleration!” “and he wins by a desperate neck” “too late, not enough to win it!” Yes truly “A RACING EPIC!”
Just a reminder of the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer being hand-ridden with humongous, powerful, catapulting, blistering, record-breaking speed combined with genuinely brilliant stamina in Command in front by 8 lengths with the drug-dependent & criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence (ss's legs completely melted without all of his ped drugs) getting ferociously beaten up by the whip & badly beaten, indeed crushed, destroyed & demolished in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs. In the Test of the Champion drug-free Belmont Stakes the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer being hand-ridden all the way obliterating the drug-dependent ss by 8 widening lengths with ss getting vigorously beaten by the whip & barely beating Le Voyageur (a horse who never even won 1 stake race his whole career) because ss couldn't get all of his much needed ped drugs administered to him by his cheater doper juicer criminal vet Alex Harthill in the only state in the entire USA at the time which banned all drugs (& as importantly, also banned his cheater doper juicer criminal vet Alex Harthill)Just a reminder 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 (ss even had old rubber legs even with all of his ped drugs; without his ped drugs ss got d6estroyed & ss had completely melted legs). Just a reminder that 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 heart-filled drug-free wheat separating from heart-less drugged chaff, the heart-filled 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; and 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. The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse than the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian 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. And most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illicit, illegal performance enhancing drugs to s.s. 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. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances, & 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, & 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, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & illegally doping horses with drugs. The drugs were & are so potent that their use or nonuse dramatically alters horse's performances (including SS). 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. Just a reminder.
The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion is Easy Goer. The Drug-free Eclipse Award Champion & Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer will always be the True 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. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer's career accomplishments and body of work were far superior to the drug-reliant and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence. The litmus test of a champion is winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs at all, and the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer Obliterated the drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs (and, as importantly, also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well; Harthill was 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-dependent horses like ss; and these horses, like ss and 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. Only No-drug drug-free races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drug drug-free races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. And, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs to ss; but he couldn't do so in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs and banned Alex Harthill as well. The drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence got obliterated when he couldn't get all of his performance enhancing drugs from his illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs (and also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well). Talk about a horse that needed to bring his illegal performance enhancing drugs and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill with him - ss is just that horse, a drug-reliant horse, an illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant horse! The drug-reliant & illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence NEEDED EVERYTHING in his favor to beat the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins in a few races. The drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence LOST 4 RACES on larger tracks with circumferences bigger than a mile (including ss having a LOSING RECORD while LOSING 3 races at his larger HOME track at the bigger circumferenced Hollywood Park track). Talk about a horse that needed to bring his track with him, ss is just that horse! Meanwhile, the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won Drug-free G1's at 7f, 1 mile, 1 1/8m, 1 1/4m & 1 1/2m on all 3 sized tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized tracks) drug-free with much less rest and time between races and ran far more races with faster times at all distances and ran far superior speed figures and far superior performance ratings; while the drug-dependent and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence only won G1's with performance enhancing drugs and his illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill and only at 9f to 10f only with performance enhancing drugs and only on small 8f sized tracks and with much more rest and time between races and ran far less races even with performance enhancing drugs. Talk about a horse that needed to bring his illegal performance enhancing drugs and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill with him - ss is just that horse, a drug-reliant horse, an illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant horse! Talk about a horse that needed to bring his one sized small 8f track with him, ss is just that horse. 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.
Pat Day made huge mistakes in this race that made it a close one when Easy Goer could have won and won easily. IMO if a different jockey had been on him like Jerry Bailey, Laffit Pincay Jr, Angel Cordero Jr, Gary Stevens or Chris McCarron, Easy Goer could have won and won easily and convincingly. There should be no problem at all with a statement like this because this is the way you state things. I happen to qualify my opinions in this comment here. However, nobody has to qualify their opinions and arguments.
Coulda woulda shoulda . . . Sunday Silence won. Easy Goer lost. Get over it. The only time Easy Goer got him was at the 1 1/2 mile distance on home track. 1 1/2 miles is like another sport. Make Sunday Silence 3-0 at normal distances.
DELMARCLUB1 True. Pat ron franklin esque Day calls himself worse than a clown. Day said, "It was a terrible ride and totally my fault. I HAD MORE HORSE THAN I KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH. It was absolutely rider error. I got him beat. I got hammered pretty good, and I'm the first to say that it wasn't unwarranted. P Val also carried me out extremely wide to the parking lot down the backstretch; then he kept pushing and banging me and trapped me in extremely tight on the dead rail from the far turn thru the entire stretch. Then EG was running sideways with the lead deep in the homestretch with his head and part of his body turned while having his momentum/stride and rhythm disrupted badly. [In the Test of the Champion drug-free medication-free Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed him; like wheat separating from chaff, the cream rose to the top.] I've always believed and I'll continue to believe that Easy Goer was a better horse than Sunday Silence. I've said it before and I'll always say it, I think Easy Goer was better than Sunday Silence, despite his slight 3-1 edge in the head to head races. I'll go to my grave believing that. We lost two photos to him and the one in the Preakness absolutely was due to rider error on my part, and my ride wasn't the best in the Classic. I was on the better horse." As if Pat ron franklin esque Day's accomplishments mean something? Pat wait all Day's accomplishments mean that Pat start stop start stop delay Day couldn't ride bad and make numerous riding errors on Forty Niner, Easy Goer, Seeking the Gold, Sky Classic, Turkoman, Heavenly Prize, Rampage, Timber Country, Menifee, Surfside, Java Gold, etc? Of course not. Sure Day won big races. But Day was a big fish in a small pond because the majority of his wins and all of his riding titles were in the Midwest when facing much lower minor league level jockey competition on a daily basis. Day NEVER won ONE, not even ONE, riding title when facing the best jockey competition on a daily basis in California, New York or Florida (winter). And Day regularly rode the entire meets at Saratoga and the winters in Florida. Cordero won 13 riding titles at Saratoga, Day won zero, and Day rode there every year for the full meets. I suppose other jockey's accomplishments mean something also. Cordero won 3 Derby's, Shoemaker won 5 Derby's, Hartack won 4 or 5 Derby's. Cordero, Shoemaker, Arcaro, Hartack, McCarron, Bailey, Stevens, Borel, Victor Espinoza, Chris Antley, Kent Desormeaux, Mike Smith, Delahoussaye, Jacinto Vasquez, Jorge Velazquez, John Velazquez, Mario Guitierrez, and numerous other jockeys won MORE Kentucky Derby's than Pat Day. Day's record in the Derby was a dismal 1 for 22, and even worse because that was where he was based. Day only won the ONE Derby because that year AP Indy was forced to scratch with a foot injury, and Arazi went into that Derby off of double knee surgery and a whopping one prep race at a mile on grass in Europe; someone had to win the race. Breeders' Cup wins? Well, Mike Smith (26 wins), Jerry Bailey (15 wins), John Velazquez (15 wins each) and Garrett Gomez (13 wins) all won more BC's than Day. McGaughey also said, "Pat Day and I agree that he made riding mistakes in the Preakness. We had Sunday Silence beat and Day let him back in the race. In the other races, there were circumstances that contributed to what happened. In the Preakness, Day got to the lead then he remembered he was Pat Day. And when he FOLDED up on the turn, he allowed SS back in the race. He got the lead, and then he gave it back. He basically did the same thing in the Classic. In the Classic, when Day grabbed him after the start, maybe the horse didn't understand what he was doing. Then Day was content to sit and wait behind Sunday Silence, as DAY HAD DONE BEFORE, and the other horse got away from us, and we just missed and fell just a stride or so short. In my heart, I think Easy Goer is the better horse than Sunday Silence." Better or best is definitely subjective, but having acknowledged that; take nothing away from Sunday Silence as he was a great horse, but Easy Goer was a superior, greater, better, stronger and faster horse; Pat Valenzuela and Chris McCarron were better jockeys than Pat ron franklin-esque Day; and the master trainer Charlie the Bald Eagle Whittingham was a better trainer than Claude Shug McGaughey. Easy Goer's jockey and trainer, Pat ron franklin esque Day and the most conservative anti-speed McGaughey, were both pitiful. McGaughey was and is the most conservative trainer of all-time who rarely trained his horses for speed, no matter how much big-time brilliant speed a horse like Easy Goer possessed. Pat ron franklin esque Day was the most tentative, passive, conservative, start-stop, wait go wait go wait, yield idle go yield go yield idle, fold up move fold up move fold up rider of all-time. Many of Pat Ron Franklin esque Day's rides on Easy Goer, Forty Niner, Seeking the Gold, Sky Classic, Turkoman, Heavenly Prize, Rampage, Timber Country, Menifee, Surfside, Java Gold, etc were Ron Franklin - esque! Pat ron franklin esque Day, aka Pat start stop start stop Day, aka Pat wait go wait go wait go wait Day, aka Pat yield idle go yield idle go yield idle wait Day, aka Pat fold up move fold up move fold up Day, was pitiful. Pat ron franklin esque Day (aka Pat start stop start stop Day, aka Pat wait go wait go wait go wait Day, aka Pat yield idle go yield idle go yield idle wait Day, aka Pat fold up move fold up move fold up Day) was riding a Ferrari in Easy Goer. But, Pat ron franklin esque Day rode Easy Goer -- and many other horses -- like a teenager at the wheels of a Ferrari. Pat ron franklin esque Day never came to terms with the immense power and big-time speed at his disposal and how and when to use it. Go yield idle go, go yield idle go, go wait go wait go wait, fold up move, fold up move fold up, inside, outside, back inside, back outside.
Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill told all how & why the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the slimmest of margins in a few races. Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself." The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer cremated the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. "Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work. Harthill Discloses He Administered Forbidden Performance-Enhancing Drugs To Many American Classic Winners In The Kentucky Derby, Preakness And Breeders' Cup Classic." How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill said, 'I (Harthill) was used for horses (Sunday Silence, etc) pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses (Sunday Silence, etc) I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won. You can only revere the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself. By doing so, I acknowledge that I effectively stole a large amount of money in my career, & cheated many other horses, trainers, owners & riders I competed against. Nonetheless, I consider my extensive doping as a mark of pride.' " Case closed.
@@question_it_701 Another one of the thousands of youtube accounts with different names for you! The drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence just didn't have the will to win/guts that the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer did. When push came to shove, the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence not only failed against the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer when forced to run drug-free without any drugs (& when forced to run without his banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well), but the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence got cremated by the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer. Deal with it. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer crushed the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence all because sunday silence was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs, & also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. When ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs & without his banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well, ss not only got crushed by the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer, but ss barely beat the claimer Le Voyageur. When ss was able to be given all of his performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine & Furosemide (scientifically proven to give a 9 length performance enhancement) again, ss then beat the claimer Le Voyageur by a far far bigger margin in the Louisiana S Derby. The Litmus Test of a Champion is running & winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs, without any drugs; & during that era NY was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs with a zero tolerance policy - zero amount of any drugs allowed w/o having to quibble about even tiny amounts.

SS also was given the remarkably effective performance-enhancing drug Furosemide (a scientific study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 9 length performance enhancement).

Easy Goer was drifting in on his left lead while Pat continued pounding him right-handed. Watch when he finally taps him on the left in mid-stretch. Focus on his eyes. It's like the Ritalin just kicked in. With Baffert and Smith Easy Goer wins all these races. TACTICAL SPEED. Two words who's meaning Shug could never grasp. To this day I've never seen a horse continually waltz out of the gate and then blitz down the backstretch only to stop and chill like the race is over before being asked to kick in again when you're either boxed in down at the rail or galloping on your left lead. Easy Goer was an insanely fast horse with plenty of gas. Get him out of the gate and in stalking position and he never loses. Greatest racehorse of my lifetime. I was born in 1974.
michael yusko So true micheal yusko. the Truth is The DRUG-FREE EASY GOER was the daddy over the follower and drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence!! The Drug-free Easy Goer was far superior to the drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence!! Noor beat Citation 4 out of 5. Beau Purple beat Kelso 3 out of 4. Ditto Akureyri 3 out of 4 over Pleasant Colony. Ditto Formal Gold 4 out of 6 over Skip Away. Ditto Gallant Bloom 4 out of 5 over Shuvee. Plus and endless amount of others. Means as much or as little as all of them. I quote the DRF for the truth: "Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex Harthill ADMITTED illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. In DRF articles in recent years and in the last few years of his life, Sunday Silence'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 and illegally administered it to Sunday Silence, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects." The drug-free Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes proved without a doubt who was best by far because New York was the only racing state in the entire country at the time which banned all raceday performance enhancing drugs; and as importantly, NY also banned the crooked, corrupt, blatant cheater veterinarian of the drug-dependent Sunday Silence, Alex Harthill. ONLY drug-free (and Harthill-free) races kept and keep the outcomes crystal clear. ONLY drug-free (and Harthill-free) races are championship races; & the litmus test of a champion is running & winning drug-free (and Harthill-free) without any raceday performance enhancing drugs or Harthill. Only the drug-free (and Harthill-free) races can be called championship races. No-drug (and No-Harthill) races are the only true tests of champions. And it proved Easy Goer was without a doubt best by far when drug-free New York prohibited the blatant cheater vet Harthill from performing his magic on SS in NY in that SS not only got romped by Easy Goer, but SS barely beat Le Voyageur (a horse who never won one stake race in his entire career) to boot. Raceday performance enhancing drugs (and lack thereof) are much more than enough of an advantage or disadvantage TO DECIDE EVERY (INCLUDING EG & SS) Triple Crown & Breeders' Cup race & almost all other races for that matter. The secret to the success of SS was the magic man vet Alex Harthill. "Alex Harthill ADMITTED illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. In DRF articles in recent years, Harthill ADMITTED he illegally administered powerful diuretics, which were banned at the time, to Northern Dancer before the colt won the 1964 Derby; and 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. In no other major professional sport does an owner, manager, coach, trainer or doctor have the ability to directly affect the outcomes of events, as did the cheater doper vet Alex Harthill. 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 introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing bronchodilator 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 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 Sublimaze (infinitely more powerful than the aspirin-like bute), Etorphine (infinitely more powerful than the aspirin-like bute), Banamine (5 times more powerful than the aspirin-like bute). The drugs Sublimaze and Etorphine were and are drugs that gives horses such a sense of euphoria and well-being that they feel like they don’t have legs.' "Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill knew more about cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history. Among numerous drugs the drugs Sublimaze, Clenbuterol, and Etorphine were among Harthill's favorite magic-making drugs. The secret to the success' of drug-dependent horses are race-day performance enhancing drugs and Harthill. Harthill and raceday 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, 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 several-length lead in the race to discover drugs that would significantly move up racehorses, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. No matter where the drugs were made, Harthill was right on it. Day or night, if you called Harthill for drugs, he was there for you. 'Harthill didn't live by the rules,' his friend Gary Priest admitted, who ran a surgical practice with Harthill. The drugs were and are so potent that their use or nonuse dramatically alters horse's performances (including SS). Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill knew more about cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history. The truth!
He was incapable of stalking any true speed horse. It only looked like he was taking a breather because the speed drew away from him easily. He loses this race to Blushing John if Sunday doesn't run.
michael yusko Very true. The drug-dependent and cheater juicer doper criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence LOSES EVERY race (even to LE VOYAGEUR, Prized [another drug-dependent horse whom EG beat by 25 lengths], Houston, Cro Lover, Criminal Type, Blushing John [another drug-dependent horse], Stylish Winner, etc, not only to the drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by 8 lengths). The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer had blazing front running speed at every distance as EG went wire to wire running blazing early fractions in 10f Suburban & 8f Champagne, won on the lead in both 9f Wood Memorial and 12f Jockey Club Gold Cup, stalked up very close to the lead running blazing fractions in the record breaking 8f Gotham, 2nd Fastest Belmont Stakes of all time at 12f, 10f Travers, 9f Whitney, 7f Cowdin & was right with the drug-dependent ss the entire races in the Belmont Stakes and Preakness. The only horse who got his ass kicked, crushed, humiliated, dominated, demolished, ownded and passed with ease was the drug-dependent (administered the incredibly effective powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol) and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence who got ass kicked, crushed, humiliated, dominated, demolished, owned and passed with ease by the drug-free Easy Goer. The drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence not only got humiliated by the drug-free Easy Goer (while barely beating the awful Le Voyageur because ss couldn't get all of his ped drugs. The only horse who got his ass kicked, owned, dominated and passed with ease (almost 4x to over 8x times greater an ass kicking and being owned) in ANY of their races was the drug-dependent/cheater doper vet alex harthill dependent sunday silence by the true, authentic drug-free Hall of Fame champion Easy Goer in the Test of the Champion in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs. The drug-free Hall of Fame champion EG whipped the drug-dependent/cheater doper vet alex harthill dependent ss BY a MUCH BIGGER MARGIN than he did almost all of his other foes. Y? B/c the drug dependent/cheater doper vet alex harthill dependent ss couldn't get all of his ped drugs (Clenbuterol, etc) when running in the Test of a Champion in the only state at the time which banned all drugs, & that was a true, authentic account of what ss was as a horse. Even with all of his ped drugs (which ss certainly NEEDED), the drug dependent ss barely beat the drug-free EG by the narrowest of margins in a few races, while losing a few by the slimmest of margins even with the drug-free EG having major trouble in the races (cut off badly by both Northern Wolf [his 1 eyed jock got a 10 day suspension for it], & Dansil later in the Derby; in the Preakness purposely & deviously forced out 10 wide by Valenzuela on backside while passing him totally legally to go head & head with the sprinter Houston (another pathetic horse who beat ss) & did so without cutting ss off or shutting him off [Even ss's owner admitted this] & having to run a huge, early blazing 21 & change monster backstretch run, had the awful Pat ron franklin esque Day continue his awful start stop start stop riding, got pushed & banged purposely & deviously by Valenzuela in as tight as can be on the dead rail from the far turn thru the entire stretch scraping the rail, still would have won but had his head turned by Pat Ron Franklin esque Day with the lead in deep stretch; & in both the Preakness & Classic with Pat Ron Franklin esque Day's terribly tentative error filled start stop start stop awful riding putting out the fire of a splendid drug-free Hall of Fame champion in full flame in both races); & with ss needing all of his ped drugs to do so only by the slimmest of margins.

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, SS'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.

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 with major enhancements in performance. The U.S. DEA filed suit against Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers & very strong amphetamines, etc. Harthill was arrested many times (Ky, Ill, La, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs.

Besides Harthill admitting it, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities.
"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. Sunday Silence had been TREATED WITH DRUGS, NOTABLY THE PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG FUROSEMIDE, in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders' Cup Classic when narrowly edging Easy Goer, but couldn't for the Belmont Stakes in New York, the one state where all drugs are banned. 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.

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.

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." LA Times December 1989. Furosemide/Lasix is a potent performance enhancing drug which masks & flushes other banned drugs, plus it reduces body weight by 16 to 25lbs & many studies show Furosemide/Lasix gives a significant 9 length performance enhancement. Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill also ADMITTED to giving sunday silence the immensely effective performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze in the 1989 Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders Cup Classic; Sunday Silence benefited immeasurably by all of their incredibly effective performance enhancing effects & still only won by the narrowest of margins. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was better than the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer crushed the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs & without his banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. New York was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs, & also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. Enough said.
Pat Day said, "It ran through my mind that I might lose the mount on Easy Goer after the Preakness. But then I shared some thoughts--I won't tell you what--with Shug and I felt better. I've always believed and I'll continue to believe that Easy Goer was a better horse than Sunday Silence. I've said it before and I'll always say it, I think Easy Goer was better than Sunday Silence, despite his slight edge in the head to head races. I'll go to my grave believing that. We lost two photos to him and the one in the Preakness was absolutely due to a rider error on my part, and my ride wasn't the best in the Classic." Shug McGaughey said, "I asked Day to ride Easy Goer for a few reasons, even though my No. 1 and No. 2 riders at the time were Angel Cordero and Randy Romero. One reason was, despite Easy Goer's superior breeding, his GI winning full sister Cadillacing who I also trained, was more of a one-run late-running sprinter. I had two aggressive jockeys ride her, both Randy Romero and Angel Cordero. Cordero, who was her main rider, was given proper instructions and knew her well. Cordero also rode their mother, champion Relaxing, who was trained by Penna. I'm going along with Easy Goer thinking he may only be a one-run late-running sprinter like his full sister Cadillacing. It turned out Easy Goer could run every distance brilliantly and do it in a variety of ways, and he had many runs in him. But I originally thought Day would be more patient on him than Cordero or Romero. I thought Cordero or Romero would be too aggressive of a rider on him. That's one reason why I chose Day." McGaughey, later after the Preakness, is quoted as saying, "I just want Day to be aggressive and, if it comes down to a mistake deciding the race, force the other rider into the mistake. I can't say I didn't consider changing riders after the Preakness. I also can't say I didn't consider a change in the future. Pat Day and I agree that he made riding mistakes in the Preakness. We had Sunday Silence beat and he let him back in the race." McGaughey also said, "The other reason I chose Day to ride Easy Goer was because Pat Day helped him by not crucifying him in his races and he brought me back some horse. He had soundness problems, but we stayed on top of it. Pat Day and I agree that he made riding mistakes in the Preakness. We had Sunday Silence beat and he let him back in the race. But in the other races, there were circumstances that contributed to what happened. In the Classic, maybe when Pat Day grabbed him after the start, the horse didn't understand what he was doing. Then Pat was content to sit and wait behind Sunday Silence, as he had done before, and the other horse got away from us, and we just missed and fell just a stride or so short. In my heart, I think Easy Goer is the better horse than Sunday Silence. I think anybody would say that if those two ran against each other ten times, each would probably win five."
Good point about the starts and being a better horse. "Easy Goer was absolutely the better & faster horse. Let's get that straight. SS wasn't even remotely close to Easy Goer in speed figures(ragozins,sheets,Jerry Brown,Beyers,etc). But the other variables of Day's horrible riding, making huge,big dramatic moves than easing up & doing this repeatedly & getting outridden & Whittingham's master training making good horses great." Jerardi. I'd agree.
And yet, Sunday Silence became the better sire. And was never touched with the whip in the Classic. And Japan’s about to wipe our butts with his lineage on a world stage level since we so willingly threw the great horse away. With this level of thinking, we deserve to get our butts kicked. Easy Goer better (scoffs).
@@silvereyedstacker1842 Easy Goer was the far superior horse on the track when ss was forced to run drug-free 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. SS's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitted to Jay Hovdey of the DRF in 2001 that he gave ss the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine, plus Furosemide (6 length performance enhancement), etc. Easy Goer was never touched with the whip in numerous races winning drug-free under wraps & handily, while the drug-reliant ss was beaten with the whip in almost all of his races, including the Classic where he was hit with the whip with the left hand & officially won driving all out with illegal ped drugs. Easy Goer was the far better sire in the USA & Europe. ss did NOT sire even ONE G1 winner in the USA & Europe, & many tried. ss took over leading sire in the restricted, insular very big fish in very small pond Japan from Northern Taste & Tesco Boy. The numerous attempts that have been made to propagate ss outside the restricted, insular very big fish in very small pond Japan have had zero success, proving ss's worth outside Japan is zero. The USA, Europe, Australia, South Africa, South America, etc., wipe all butts without ss's lineage on the world stage level.
Citation, Kelso, Easy Goer, Forego, John Henry, Dr Fager, Shuvee, Skip Away, Pleasant Colony, Sir Barton, Unbridled, Whirlaway, California Chrome, etc., all made history. It's very common that the "superior, better, & faster" contestants whether in a boxing match, triathlon, or pretty much any contest, loses head-to-head matches to slower & inferior competitors. Inferior horses frequently beat very superior, gifted almost supernatural horses. The very slight 3-1 edge by the narrowest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss by the slimmest of margins, admitted to by ss's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitting to giving ss illegal performance enhancing drugs) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others. The very slight 3-1 edge by the slimmest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss by the narrowest of margins; ss's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitted to giving ss illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze) is equivalent to the "final scores in the record books" for Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, Floyd Landis, East Germany in Olympics, Ben Johnson, Diego Maradona, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro, Jose Canseco, Ken Caminiti, Jason Giambi, etc., plus all of the G1 winners that Jason Servis & Jorge Navarro trained, including G1 winners Maximum Security, World of Trouble, Firenze Fire, Sharp Azteca, XY Jet, Private Zone, El Deal & many others. All of these athletes & horses also won major events & G1 races illegally with illegal ped drugs. Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill told all how & why the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the slimmest of margins in a few races. Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself."

"Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work. Harthill Discloses He Administered Forbidden Performance-Enhancing Drugs To Many American Classic Winners In The Kentucky Derby, Preakness And Breeders' Cup Classic." How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill said, 'I (Harthill) was used for horses (Sunday Silence, etc) pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses (Sunday Silence, etc) I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won. You can only revere the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself. By doing so, I acknowledge that I effectively stole a large amount of money in my career, & cheated many other horses, trainers, owners & riders I competed against. Nonetheless, I consider my extensive doping as a mark of pride.' " Case closed.
Sucked as usual. Desperate neck? Get serious. "Stage is set?" Bwàaaaaa! Someone forgot to tell EG. SS ran away from him just like in the Preakness only easier because he wasn't interfered with.

put a jock like irad ortiz on easy goer and he would definitely won this race especially with so much on the line like horse of the year...irad would have exposed all of easy goers talent and ability in this race and not lag behind the whole race and not let the horse do any running til it was too late
Both Ortizes are crappy, overrated riders who do nothing to improve a horse's run. Pincay, Pat V., Shoe, and Eddie D., were better jocks and would have moved him up. Nobody riding today compares with any one of them. Especially Pincay. He's the GOAT.

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: "Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex 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 illegal drugs, including Clenbuterol to Sunday Silence. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. 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. 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. Some of Harthill's other favorite magic making performance enhancing drugs that he administered were Etorphine (infinitely more powerful than the aspirin bute), Banamine (50 times more powerful than the aspirin 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 US Drug Enforcement Administration filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing and using unusual quantities of these and other drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers, and very strong amphetamines, etc. Alex Harthill and 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 was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (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 the DRF, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. Case closed.

So much for records. Easy Goer was a better horse in every way at every distance its that simple.

Easy Goer won Grade 1 races drug-free at 7f, 8f, 9f, 1 1/4 and 1 1/2; ss only at 9f to 10f with raceday performance enhancing drugs. ss was drug-dependent. " In the drug-free Test of a Champion Belmont Stakes in the only state during those times that banned all raceday performance enhancing drugs, Easy Goer destroyed ss, like drug-free wheat separating from drugged chaff, the drug free cream rose to the top. drug dependent ss a few very close races by the slimmest of margins with raceday performance enhancing drugs needed and used.

Lasix, a potent diuretic, was and is the main drug which masks other drugs and flushes other banned drugs. I quote the American Veterinary Medical Association: "The drug Lasix is absolutely performance enhancing and also acts a diuretic making horses lose weight giving them an advantage while making them run faster at the same time. In a study of 23,000 races published by the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Horses that received the drug lasix on raceday raced faster, earned more money, and 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 and 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 and rate of lactate production, and decreases the rate of carbon dioxide production of horses during intense exercise, delaying the onset of fatigue and increasing the oxygen going to muscles. Only Lasix? No. The incredibly effective performance enhancing bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers, very strong amphetamines, and many others. I quote the DRF for the factual truths: "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.

Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. No matter where the drugs were made, Harthill was right on it. 'Harthill didn't live by the rules,' his friend Gary Priest admitted, who ran a surgical practice with Harthill. The drugs were & are so potent that their use or nonuse dramatically alters horse's performances (including SS). Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history." Not a big deal? Of course it's a huge deal. Drug-free Easy Goer was the much better horse over the drug-dependent and cheater doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence. sunday silence was a good drug horse, needing all of the drugs; without the drugs SS not only got romped by the drug-free Easy Goer, but ss barely beat the awful Le Voyageur. New York was the ONLY state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs. The drug-free Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes proved without a doubt who was best by far because New York was the only racing state in the entire country at the time which banned all raceday performance enhancing drugs; and as importantly, NY also banned the crooked, corrupt, blatant cheater veterinarian of the drug-dependent Sunday Silence, Alex Harthill. ONLY drug-free (and Harthill-free) races kept and keep the outcomes crystal clear.

@Don't Bet Chalk 1997 I thought you were a knowledgeable racing follower, but clearly you are not, and you are far from it. Easy Goer carried 7 POUNDS more than CT, and up to 14 to 15 pounds more than the rest of the field. And Easy Goer came into the race with just 10 days rest with his terrible ankles, knees and feet flaring up badly. Plus, Criminal Type didn't need the ped drugs; while ss needed the ped drugs and was dependent on them. When Criminal Type beat Sunday Silence, SS carried 5 pounds more than CT. And the DRF newspaper (Harthill admitted to DRF's Jay Hovdey in newspaper form of Harthill's illegalities administering Clenbuterol to SS), Bloodhorse, Thoroughbred Times, American Veterinary Medical Association, Sports Illustrated, Thoroughbred Daily News (article number 1) down below alludes to what Harthill admitted to DRF's Jay Hovdey), basic common sense, etc, all corroborate the facts and truths I wrote.

14 to 0 is the farthest thing from a slight edge. Easy Goer won 14 races drug-free without any drugs, while sunday silence won 0 (ZERO) races drug-free without any drugs. Easy Goer 14, ss 0. The very slight 3-1 edge by the narrowest of margins was done illegally by ss by the slimmest of margins with the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze, plus the performance enhancing drug Furosemide (scientifically proven to give a 9 length performance enhancement). The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer cremated the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harrhill-reliant sunday silence when forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs - & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well.

The very slight 3-1 edge by the slimmest of margins (done illegally by ss) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others. There was the Drug-Free Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes where Easy Goer destroyed him in the only state in the entire country during that era that banned all drugs.

Easy Goer also ran the record mile one full second faster than Secretariat's record. Easy Goer also ran a better, faster Ragozin speed figure than Secretariat did in their respective Belmont Stakes. Easy Goer also ran some of the greatest, fastest all time performances at every distance he ran - 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Easy Goer generally ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances. Easy Goer more often ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances, including many outstanding, perennial all timer performances at every distance - 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Easy Goer won G1's drug-free at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f with much less time & rest between races, & ran many more career races; while the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence only won G1's with drugs at 9f to 10f with much more time & rest between races, & 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. 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 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 winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs, without any drugs; & during that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs. Plus, as importantly, NY banned the illegal criminal veterinarian of sunday silence 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 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 races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. And, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine ) to ss, plus ss was given Furosemide (a study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 9 length performance enhancement); but he couldn't do so in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs and banned Alex Harthill as well. Neither the EG/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 2 horses in a VERY MINUSCULE 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). yes
Isolated frame at the finished showed Sunday Silence won by 3 quarters of a length....not a "desperate neck" ... too bad Dave Johnson didn't call the race. And Sunday Silence broke from the outside post so he actually ran a longer race than Easy Goer and still won.
Love it when Mr. Pat Ron Franklin Esque Day (aka Patsy Daisy Day, Pat Wait All Day, Pat Delay Day, Pat a Day late, Pat start stop Day, Pat so passive & patient he could watch a faucet drip for days Day) looks back at the 2:46 mark of the 1989 Belmont Stakes & sees that the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence is so far back he's on another planet - all because ss forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. Easy Goer demolished Sunday Silence when they were forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse plain and simple. The drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence wasn't as great as the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer. DRF Jan 90 Mike Watchmaker: "Sunday Silence is a drug-dependent horse. ALL of his races IN 1989, EXCEPT the Belmont Stakes in New York, came with the benefit of various drugs, INCLUDING the diuretic DRUG FUROSEMIDE, which is a performance enhancer in many ways & can flush & mask the presence of many other illegal drugs in drug tests. Sunday Silence required the assistance of drugs to WIN his races, while he sustained a MONUMENTAL LOSS to Easy Goer when he wasn't able to use the drugs. The use & abuse of drugs disgraced & dishonored the year of Sunday Silence. All should not bestow honors on drug-dependent horses. Even trainer Charlie Whittingham acknowledged his colt's impediments, & didn't run him in the Travers Stakes in view of the fact that he wouldn't have been able to utilize drugs there in New York. Sunday Silence, & many other horses, would never have made it minus drugs. Because of Sunday Silence's advantage of drugs, all call into question his accomplishments as a horse. Sunday Silence, like Sunny's Halo, Spend a Buck, Gate Dancer & Wild Again before him, is a classic, illustrative example of why drugs & racing don't merge, especially at the sport's highest level. After his narrow drug-aided wins in the Kentucky Derby & Preakness, Sunday Silence went to New York in search of winning the Belmont Stakes & the Triple Crown. Because New York doesn't allow horses to run on any drugs -it's the only jurisdiction in America that doesn't-the suspicion was whether he could win without being given the drugs. It was a distressingly captivating matter in question, which served to remove the Triple Crown of the excitement & allure it has always had. Sunday Silence got overwhelmed in the Belmont, finishing a widening 8 lengths behind Easy Goer. Sunday Silence required the assistance of drugs to WIN his races, while he sustained a monumental loss when he wasn't able to use the drugs. Even trainer Charlie Whittingham acknowledged his colt's impediments, & didn't run him in the Travers Stakes in view of the fact that he wouldn't have been able to utilize drugs there in New York. No wonder so many in New York condemn the usage of drugs. Sunday Silence, & many other horses, would never have made it minus drugs. The use & abuse of drugs disgraced & dishonored the year of Sunday Silence. All should not bestow honors on drug-dependent horses." The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer cremated the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harrhill-reliant sunday silence when forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs - & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. And as importantly ss's veterinarian Alex Harthill fully voluntarily admitted that he gave illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine) to ss, plus ss was given Furosemide (a study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 6 to 9 length performance enhancement at longer, classic distances); but Harthill could NOT do so in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs - & as importantly banned the illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. The very slight 3-1 edge by the slimmest of margins (done illegally by ss) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others.

Always to late to much ground to make up .I blame the jockey . I take nothing away from Sunday Silence he was a Great Champion 👍 with a different jockey I think it would have been more even than 3 and 1 life time against easy goer . May be 2 and 2 . Both horses great athletes.
The drug-dependent & illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence was very overrated - ss could not win without all of his performance enhancing drugs; ss got destroyed when forced to run drug-free without any drugs; ss did nothing when forced to run drug-free without any drugs; ss could only win with all of his ped drugs; ss did nothing and could not win (ss LOST 4 races on bigger tracks) on larger tracks with circumferences larger than a mile (ss LOST 4 races on larger tracks); ss could not win on all 3 sized tracks; ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with drugs, ran far less races with much more rest & time between races. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won & ran great outside the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs - and banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. EG ran the fastest 7f of the year in Florida, & only lost by the narrowest of margins in a few races to the drug-reliant & illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant ss due to ss's vet administering illegal ped drugs to ss; EG won all 3 sized tracks (ss did NOT); EG won many more G1 races than ss; EG ran & won all of his races drug-free without any drugs (ss needed his ped drugs); EG won G1 races at 7f, 1 mile, 1 1/8m, 1 1/4m & 1 1/2m drug-free (ss only at 9f to 10f with drugs) without any drugs running many more races with much less rest & time between races.

Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself."

"Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work. Harthill Discloses He Administered Forbidden Performance-Enhancing Drugs To Many American Classic Winners In The Kentucky Derby, Preakness And Breeders' Cup Classic." How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill said, 'I (Harthill) was used for horses (Sunday Silence, etc) pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses (Sunday Silence, etc) I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won. You can only revere the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself. By doing so, I acknowledge that I effectively stole a large amount of money in my career, & cheated many other horses, trainers, owners & riders I competed against.

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 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. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances, & 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, & 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, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. The drugs were & are so potent that their use or nonuse dramatically alters horse's performances (including SS). 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. Case closed.

Paul Moran of DRF, Newsday & LA Times: "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. Sunday Silence had been TREATED WITH DRUGS, NOTABLY THE PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG FUROSEMIDE, in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders' Cup Classic when narrowly 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 & debates 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."

DRF 2001 article titled: "Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work. Harthill Discloses He Administered Forbidden Performance-Enhancing Drugs To Many American Classic Winners In The Kentucky Derby, Preakness And Breeders' Cup Classic." How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey article: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. 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. Clenbuterol is 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 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. Etorphine is an Opiate 80,000 Times More Powerful than Morphine. Sublimaze is a potent narcotic. 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 drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. The US DEA filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of these & other drugs. Alex Harthill & drugs have led to the destruction of integrity in racing. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances, & 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, & 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, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history. Harthill's innovation in this area got him arrested many times for illegally injecting horses with numerous drugs & for public bribery. Harthill bribed state officials to throw away positive drug tests from horses that he had treated, & lost his license in many states. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill was the most important factor in countless outcomes of numerous races. Harthill made Bob Baffert, Rick Dutrow, etc., look like Altar Boys." Harthill said, 'I was used for horses pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won. You can only revere the horses whom my horses defeated even more, to do all they were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short of horses who had been given performance-enhancing drugs by myself. By doing so, I acknowledge that I effectively stole a large amount of money in my career, & cheated many other horses, trainers, owners & riders I competed against. Nonetheless, I consider my extensive doping as a mark of pride.' " Besides Harthill admitting it, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. 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 shows Lasix gives a significant 6 to 9 length performance enhancement. It's the truth based on Alex Harthill's voluntary admission to DRF Hovdey in 2001, plus all of the 88-90 DRF & FIGS Forms; 2012 NY Post article titled "The 11 horse who missed out on Triple Crown at Belmont" found on the web; DRF's Mike Watchmaker, Ed Fountaine & Paul Moran; Wikipedia articles with many reliable sources cited; 2 Claiborne Farm books; KY Law; NY Law; DRF, Bloodhorse & Thor. Record/Times; & mounds more. 120% TRUTH.
Clearly Sunday Silence' best race and a masterful ride by Chris McCarron. Though the outcome was tight, Easy Goer didn't have a real chance. He certainly had not his best form. Sunday Silence would have won by 3 or even 4 length, if McCarron would have used the whip, but it was smart not to do that.
The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer's running style was as versatile & as multifaceted any horse who ever lived - EG went to the front going wire to wire running blazing fractions in many races, stalking up very close running blazing fractions with record-breaking speed & phenomenal stamina vs any & all horses, including the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence. Despite this, Easy Goer was trained by the most conservative, anti-speed trainer, no matter how much record-breaking speed Easy Goer displayed in numerous races. Easy Goer also was ridden by the most passive, tentative, conservative rider as well. Lemmings could have trained & ridden Easy Goer better. 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 ss is officially as clear as day. Never forget that 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 heart-filled drug-free wheat separating from heart-less drugged chaff, the heart-filled 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-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 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. The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse than the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian 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. 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. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history. 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. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances, & 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, & 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, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. The drugs were & are so potent that their use or nonuse dramatically alters horse's performances (including SS). 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. Never ever forget indeed. Case closed.
Better in any way is totally subjective. There was the Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes (the classic distance for the whole world) where Easy Goer destroyed him in the only state in the entire country during that era that banned all drugs & medications. Balanced against that are two wins by Sunday Silence against Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins, and a total of 3 wins which SS won by a combined margin of less than two and three-quarter lengths. So SS held the slight 3-1 edge against EG with 3 wins coming in close wins and a loss in which he was destroyed. Easy Goer also ran the record mile one full second faster than Secretariat's record. Easy Goer also ran a better, faster Ragozin speed figure than Secretariat did in their respective Belmont Stakes. Easy Goer also ran some of the greatest, fastest all timer performances at every distance he ran - 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Easy Goer generally ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances. Easy Goer more often ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances, including many outstanding, perennial all timer performances at every distance - 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Sunday Silence lost 36% of his races, mostly to lesser horses including Houston, Prized, Criminal Type, and Cro Lover. Better in any way is totally subjective. 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 MINUSCULE 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). 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, including 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. 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. 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.
Pat Day lost this race at the 3/8th Pole at the 1:26 mark of this video...He sits like a STATUE aboard Easy Goer and does not even try to push his Horse at all as Sunday Silence was moving toward the Lead...Someone let me know what Pat Day was waiting for...He waited until The Stretch to Push Easy Goer...Makes no sense to me...He left Easy Goer with too much ground to make up...Easy Goer had a World of Talent and Pat Day does not let him run until the stretch...Letting SS get away from him at the 3/8th pole was a DUMB mistake...Let the Horse RUN Pat
Citation, Kelso, Easy Goer, Forego, John Henry, Dr Fager, Shuvee, Skip Away, Pleasant Colony, Sir Barton, Unbridled, Whirlaway, California Chrome, etc., all made history. It's very common that the "superior, better, & faster" contestants whether in a boxing match, triathlon, or pretty much any contest, loses head-to-head matches to slower & inferior competitors. Inferior horses frequently beat very superior, gifted almost supernatural horses. The very slight 3-1 edge by the narrowest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss by the slimmest of margins, admitted to by ss's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitting to giving ss illegal performance enhancing drugs) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others. The very slight 3-1 edge by the slimmest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss by the narrowest of margins; ss's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitted to giving ss illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze) is equivalent to the "final scores in the record books" for Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, Floyd Landis, East Germany in Olympics, Ben Johnson, Diego Maradona, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro, Jose Canseco, Ken Caminiti, Jason Giambi, etc., plus all of the G1 winners that Jason Servis & Jorge Navarro trained, including G1 winners Maximum Security, World of Trouble, Firenze Fire, Sharp Azteca, XY Jet, Private Zone, El Deal & many others. All of these athletes & horses also won major events & G1 races illegally with illegal ped drugs. Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill told all how & why the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the slimmest of margins in a few races. Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself." The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer cremated the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. "Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work.

Some Fans just go by "Results"...They dont take into consideration the Brutal campaign of Easy Goer prior to this race opposed to the very easy light campaign of Sunday Silence...Connections also debated scratching Easy Goer from this race cause he looked sluggish prior to the race...Also was sluggish in this race...Still managed to only miss by a neck at the wire...Better horse Lost this race
Gulfstream 1 of the most speed/pace favoring track in the country and Pat Day holds Easy Goer back as Sunday Silence made his move..This just made no sense..Pat Day refused to let Easy Goer run until it was too late
Easy Goer 14, SS 0 is the legal, moral, ethical score.

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 horse than the drug-reliant & criminal cheater veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant ss is officially as clear as day."

If you look at the race McCarron (and what McCarron said - "SS was running FULL OUT" the entire home stretch) was constantly throwing crosses with the reins, poking him with the whip on the left side, and showing him the whip on the left side. SS officially won DRIVING ("STRONG URGING") according to DRF/Equibase. SS officially won driving - officially by DRF (Racing Form)/Equibase. Driving in the DRF/Equibase glossary definitions means strong urging by the rider. The official margin was a neck in this race. Clearly, it was a very rapidly diminishing neck, as Easy Goer blew by at the wire. The official DRF/Equibase chart notes SS won "driving" (strong urging). McCarron was told not to hit the horse by his trainer due to his disdain for being whipped (as well as weaving tendencies) - though in some races like the Preakness & Belmont SS handled being whipped ok. But what did he do for it to be driving (strong urging)? He was repeatedly & continuously asking him (driving - strong urging) to run by throwing crosses (flicking & swooping with the reins, cross reining), and poking him (as McCarron said in the Blood Horse Nov. 11, 1989 & LA Times Nov. 5, 1989 articles) on his shoulder, & showing him the whip with his left hand. McCarron stated the horse was running all out at his top speed & doing the best he could, & he was also trying to keep him straight - because he was lugging in as well. McCarron said, "He was running FULL OUT for the last three sixteenths of a mile (which is the entire home stretch at Gulfstream in those days). Easy Goer was really flying the last eighth." Hence, as he said, the poking him on the left shoulder, the showing him the whip on the left side, and the throwing crosses, cross reining, and the flicking and swooping with the reins. As an aside, in the 1989 Belmont, Day actually did whip EG a few times at the top of the stretch, then hand rode him the entire last eighth of a mile while widening to win by 8 lengths. The chart noted he won ridden out in the Belmont. Ridden out (1989 Belmont) is much less vigorous riding than the 'strong urging' of driving (1989 BCC). Easy Goer ran far more DRUG FREE races than SS in general; EG ran far more totally DRUG-FREE races than SS (with DRUGS & far more rest & time between races) at more deviating, different distances with far less time and rest between drug-free races. SS ran far less races with drugs and with much more time and rest between races.
One of the greatest racing calls I have heard!! Makes a great race even better
It’s such a good call
You're absolutely right. What a race call! That was a masterpiece! I don't think we ever heard a better race call than this. Hat's off Tom Durkin.
It was horrible. A desperate neck??? Really??? Wonder who Tom wanted to win. Gimme a break
@@Richard-fz7ce Another one of the thousands of youtube accounts with different names for you. The official DRF & Equibase margin was a neck; clearly the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was absolutely blowing by the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence & it was a very rapidly diminishing desperate neck with EG blowing by; & ss officially, by DRF & Equibase, won "DRIVING." "Driving" is the most vigorous of riding, & it was driving because McCarron was hitting him with his left handed whip & also riding vigorously. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer destroyed the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence by a Widening 8 Lengths officially "ridden out." Ridden out is much less vigorous riding than "driving." EG dusted ss when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. EG only lost by the slimmest of margins in a few races to ss because ss needed & was given the ped drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine, plus Furosemide/Lasix (a study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 9 length performance enhancement), etc etc. The only Hall of Fame inductions, Eclipse Awards, races, records & wins that count are those that were/are run drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs at all, without any drugs at all, & that is why the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer's Hall of Fame induction, Eclipse Awards, races, records & wins count (& Not the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence), & the legal, moral, ethical score is Easy Goer 14 wins drug-free without any drugs, SS 0 drug-free without any drugs; Easy Goer 14, SS 0; EG 1, ss 0. The TRUE DRUG-FREE HALL OF FAME CHAMPION EASY GOER earned induction in the Hall of Fame & earned Eclipse Awards while doing it drug-free without any ped drugs, without any drugs, in all of his races in his career; while the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence did it with the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug), Sublimaze (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute) & Etorphine (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute), plus the powerful performance enhancing diuretic drug Furosemide/Lasix (a study of 23,000 races proved it gives a 9 LENGTH performance enhancement, plus it reduces body weight by 16lbs to 25 pounds, & is the main drug which masks other drugs), etc etc. Harthill admitted he gave the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to sunday silence. Harthill was arrested, banned, suspended & fined numerous times in many states for giving many horses illegal performance enhancing drugs.
During that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs, & had the most advanced out-of-competition & raceday drug testing. Plus, as importantly, NY banned the illegal criminal vet of ss Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally drugging an endless amount of horses; & Harthill admitted that he illegally gave illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine, etc) to 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 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 races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. Easy Goer won 14 races, 12 stakes races, 9 G1 races drug-free without any drugs on all 3 sized tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized tracks) on fast, muddy & sloppy tracks at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f with much less time & rest between races & ran many more career races in faster times at all distances; while ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with ped drugs & only on small 8f sized tracks with much more time & rest between races & ran far less career races. Easy Goer was far better & far superior. Period. EG demolished ss when they were forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs. EG was the better horse plain & simple. It's the truth based on Harthill's voluntary admission to DRF Hovdey in 01, plus all of the 88-90 DRFs; 2012 NY Post article titled "The 11 horses who missed out on Triple Crown at Belmont" found on the web; DRF's Mike Watchmaker, Ed Fountaine & Paul Moran; Wikipedia articles with many reliable sources cited; 2 Claiborne books; NY Law; DRF, Bloodhorse & Thor.

You are not alone. After hearing that call every time I still keep thinking there is a chance
@@anthonygreene6307thought I was the only one 😊
One of the greatest calls ever.
Sucked. Desperate neck? Sunday won easy and was never threatened by Easy Goer. When EG moved up and *the stage is set," Sunday drew off and left him in his dust. Just like the Preakness, only easier because EG didn't interfere like he did at Pimlico.
@@JoeKoOhNo That was Pat Day not Easy Goer. Pat Day ran a terrible race. If it was someone like Cordero EG would have been near the front. His closing in that shows he had plenty left in the tank..
@@boxcarent.3147 Hogwash. EG was a closer. He was incapable of speed. SS drew off because he was properly rated by a great speed jockey. The call was shit because Durkin was a terrible announcer.
@@JoeKoOhNo If he's a terrible announcer then you really don't know what you are talking about, Even if you been watching horseracing for years. Sunday Silence was great but EG was great and more talented. EG had the wrong jockey.
@@boxcarent.3147 Loser. Sunday Silence beat him three times which means you lost 3 bets and only won one. If that's your idea of greatness, you're a loser. If you think this is a great call, you're a loser and don't know what horse racing's all about STFU.
Stop it at the finish. That is a win by half a length, not a neck. Announcer made it sound like it was closer than it was. SS knew he had him and coasted the final 20 meters.
This is one of my favorite race calls of all time despite the comical bias towards Easy Goer. Announcer nearly orgasms as Easy Goer picks it up and catches Sunday Silence in the backstretch. Unfortunately for EG, SS is one of the best turn racers of all time.
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.
Great racehorses. Great rivalry! Truly something for the ages. Easy Goer died too young . Sunday Silence was a breed changer in Japan, forever changing that countries thoroughbred expecience!
Great Genetics have definitely moved on to new generations for Easy Goer, Sunday Silence and Deep Impact. The influence of Easy Goer and Sunday Silence on the breeding of racehorses worldwide is incredible. Even with dying very premature, Easy Goer is in the bloodlines of a numerous amount of G-1 winners in the USA and Europe. Easy Goer's grandson Araafa won the Group 1 St. James's Palace Stakes, G-1 Irish 2,000 Guineas, et cetera. Easy Goer's grandson Astronomer Royal won the Group 1 French 2,000 Guineas, et cetera.

Easy Goer's lookalike daughter Relaxing Rhythm won the G-1 Molly Pitcher, et cetera. Easy Goer's lookalike granddaughter Tiz Miz Sue won the G-1 Ogden Phipps, et cetera. And many more. Great Genetics have definitely moved on to new generations for Easy Goer, Sunday Silence and Deep Impact. However, none of these compare to Galileo, Danehill, Sadler's Wells, Northern Dancer, Mr. Prospector, Danzig, Native Dancer, Bold Ruler, Man o' War and some others. Dubawi, Tapit, Curlin, Sea the Stars and Frankel may be on their way to these aforementioned sires above.
The great Japanese sires Sunday Silence and Deep Impact both took over from Northern Taste and Tesco Boy as leading sire in the insular, restricted, big fish in small pond Japan. While a few Deep Impact's have had success with G-1 wins in Europe, et cetera, it must be noted that he was bred to the best of the best Coolmore Galileo, Sadler's Wells and Giant's Causeway mares to do so in most cases - and in the other cases he was bred to the best of the best Niarchos family mares who are descendants of the great Miesque. Actually, Sunday Silence himself did not even sire one G-1 winner in all of Europe and the U.S.A., and many attempted to, including Dance Partner, Dance in the Mood, Sundrop, Layman, Keep the Faith, Silent Name, Deep Impact {disqualified from 3rd place finish due to a positive drug test for an illegal drug}, To the Victory, Zenno Rob Roy, Heart's Cry, Sunday Joy, Seven Moons, Negotiator, Wild Sunday and others - All of these sons and daughters of Sunday Silence lost all of their G-1 races in Europe and the U.S.A. The many attempts that have been made to generate Sunday Silence's sire-line outside Japan have had very little to very modest success - sons of Sunday Silence that have stood at stud outside Japan in Europe, Australia and the U.S.A. have had very little to very modest success, including Divine Light, Born King, Keep the Faith, Layman, Tayasu Tsuyoshi, Real Impact, Bubble Gum Fellow, Genuine, Hat Trick, Silent Name, Fuji Kiseki, Fusaichi Zenon, Agnes Gold, Victoire Pisa, Neorealism, Brave Smash, Black Tuxedo, et cetera. Japan's great successes cannot be attributed only because Sunday Silence and Deep Impact. While SS's blood is oversaturated in Japan, some horses without any SS blood have also been leading sires in Japan, including the aforementioned Northern Taste and Tesco Boy, as well as King Kamehameha, Symboli Kris S, Kurofune, Rulership, Harbinger, Sakura Bakushin O, Brian's Time and Lord Kanaloa. Many horses without any SS blood at all have been greats in Japan and worldwide, including all of these G-1 winners: Panthalassa {G-1 Saudi Cup & G-1 Dubai Turf winner}, El Condor Pasa {G-1 winner in Europe}, Taiki Shuttle {G-1 winner in Europe}, Seeking the Pearl {G-1 winner in Europe}, Lord Kanaloa, Vodka, TM Opera O, Jungle Pocket, King Kamehameha, Apapane, Narita Brian, Symboli Kris S, Meisho Samson, Rey de Oro, Agnes Digital, Mayano Top Gun, Air Groove, Grass Wonder, Tap Dance City, Sweep Tosho, Satono Crown, etc etc.

Easy Goer was without a doubt the much better horse on the track when they had to run without all drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & also banned Sunday Silence's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill. The TRUE DRUG-FREE HALL OF FAME CHAMPION EASY GOER was inducted in the Hall of Fame while doing it drug-free without any drugs in all of his races in his career; while the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence did it with the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug), Sublimaze (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute) & Etorphine (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute), plus the powerful performance enhancing diuretic drug Furosemide/Lasix (scientifically proven to give a 9 length performance enhancement), etc etc. Easy Goer cremated sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs (& without ss's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well) in the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill admitted he gave the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to sunday silence in the 1989 KY Derby, Preakness & BC Classic in the DRF's Jay Hovdey in 2001 in 2001 DRF Hovdey article; and ss still only won the slimmest of margins with all of his performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine, Sublimaze & Furosemide (scientifically proven to give a 9 length performance enhancement). Harthill was arrested, banned, suspended & fined numerous times in many states for giving many horses illegal performance enhancing drugs. Case shut.
@@traviswest949 One the race track the better horse wins 3 of 4 head to head matches, and does not lose them. On the track Sunday Silence was the better horse and he proved it on the track! Could care less about the rest of your laughable short novel. Sunday Silence 3-1 versus Easy Goer head to head and Sunday Silence was correctly Horse of the Year over Easy Goer. Scoreboard! 🙂
My favorite horse easy goer you never ran a dull race
I agree about the points you made about the sizes of the tracks, the drugs and medications, etc. 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."
Jeez, write a damn book, Tolstoi.
1989 HOY and the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Sunday Silence will always be the Drug-Free Test of the Champion (The Classic Distance for the whole world) winner; the most coveted prize is being the 1989 Horse of the year and Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion in the Hall of Fame and beat Easy Goer 3 out of 4 times
This was jockey Pat Day's fault that Easy Goer did not win
here, as he let the horse get too far behind. Goer could not
make up the lost ground fast enough, as he ran out of real
estate. If Day would have kept him much closer, Easy Goer
would have won this race. Look at how strongly he closed,
and was making up ground fast on the leader. It's a shame.
It’s so odd: no one had a problem with Pat Day in ‘88 or when Easy Goer took down five consecutive Grade 1 races. Apparently, against all odds, Day rode like a bug boy in three of four against Sunday Silence. It’s inexplicable.

@@andredarin8966 Totally false. Many had lots of problems with Pat Patsy Daisy Day's (aka Pat Ron Franklin Esque Day, Pat Wait All Day, Pat Start Stop Start Stop Start Day, Pat a Day late, Pat Delay Day, Pat so passive & patient he could watch a faucet drip for days Day) bug boy rides on Easy Goer in '88 & 89' G1 Whitney & G1 Woodward. Many had lots of problems with Pat Patsy Daisy Day's bug boy rides on Easy Goer, Forty Niner, Seeking the Gold, Turkoman, Java Gold, Sky Classic, Heavenly Prize, Surfside, Menifee, Timber Country, Rampage, etc. As usual, while riding all of these horses Pat Patsy Daisy Day did his very very best to lose. Day's riding was horrendous - start stop start stop start, start check in major traffic start, inside outside way outside as wide as can be, back inside back outside back way outside as wide as can be, back in as tight as can be on the dead rail, turn his head in turn his head out, pull the trigger then fold up & put out the fire of a splendid Hall of Fame Champion in full flame, etc. A lemming could have rode better than Day. Pat Patsy Daisy Day was the worst rider of all time, hands down. Opening Verse (91 BC Mile), Fraise (92 BC Turf), Skywalker (86 BC Classic), Creme Fraiche (87 JC Gold Cup), Dear Doctor (92 Arlington Million), One Dreamer (94 BC Distaff), Cash Run (99 BC Juv Fillies) & numerous others had ways of making Pat Days rides on Easy Goer, Forty Niner, Sky Classic, Turkoman, Seeking the Gold, Heavenly Prize, Java Gold, Star of Cozzene, Surfside, Timber Country, Rampage, Menifee, etc look very bad indeed. Pat Patsy Daisy Day NEVER won even ONE riding title against the best competition in New York, California or Florida (winters); & Day rode many full meets in NY (mainly Saratoga, but Belmont as well) & FL (winters at Gulfstream). I will take Pat Valenzuela & Chris McCarron over Pat Patsy Daisy Day any day, everyday. Over & over & over again Pat Valenzuela - on inferior horses SS, Fraise (1992 Breeders Cup Turf), Opening Verse (1991 Breeders Cup Mile) - significantly outrode Pat Patsy Daisy Day on superior horses Easy Goer, Sky Classic, Star of Cozzene. For that matter, I will take Cordero, Pincay, Bailey, McCarron, Stevens, etc., over Pat Patsy Daisy Day anyday, everyday. Cordero, Pincay, Bailey, McCarron, Stevens, etc., also over & over again significantly outrode Day. Day got so many superior horses beat - Easy Goer, Sky Classic (in 92 Arl Million & 92 BC Turf), Forty Niner (in 88 Ky Derby & Lexington), Turkoman (in 86 BC Classic), Java Gold (in 87 JC Gold Cup), Rampage (in 86 Ky Derby), Seeking the Gold (in 88 Haskell,Travers & BC Classic), Menifee (in 99 Ky Derby & Preakness), Heavenly Prize (in 94 BC Distaff & 95 Beldame), Surfside (in 99 BC Juv Fillies), Timber Country (95 Ky Derby, Santa Anita Derby, etc), etc., & an endless amount of others. "Day is so patient he could watch a faucet drip for days. Day drove many a captain of industry, hard-boot trainer & horseplayer to the brink of rage." I will also take Woody Stephens, Allen Jerkens & Charlie Whittingham over McGaughey any day, every day. Woody Stephens' Swale over Shug's Pine Circle & Vanlandingham; Woody Stephens' Forty Niner over Shug/P Day's Seeking the Gold; Woody Stephens' Danzig Connection over Shug's Personal Flag; Allen Jerkens Sky Beauty over Shug/P Day's Dispute, etc.
Had Easy Goer been ridden & trained by someone other than flawed Pat Patsy Daisy Day & McGaughey, Easy Goer would have been undefeated. Despite the very slight edge in the head to head record by the slimmest of margins, numerous times in their races, Easy Goer did not just pass Sunday Silence, he absolutely flew by Sunday Silence - Easy Goer's top speed was far faster than SS, & EG also had far superior stamina than SS; Easy Goer displayed far superior speed & stamina than SS. Had ss been forced to run drug-free without any drugs, Easy Goer would have been undefeated against ss, because "Easy Goer did NOT require ANY drugs to perform at his best, & the INFERIOR DRUG-RELIANT ss needed ped drugs. Sunday Silence was TREATED WITH DRUGS, NOTABLY THE PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG FUROSEMIDE, in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders' Cup Classic when narrowly 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. 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." LA Times Dec 89. Furosemide/Lasix is a potent performance enhancing drug which masks & flushes other banned drugs, plus it reduces body weight by 16 to 25lbs & many studies show it gives a significant 9 length performance enhancement. Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill also ADMITTED to giving ss the immensely effective performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze in the 89 KY Derby, Preakness & BC Classic; Sunday Silence benefited immeasurably by all of their incredibly effective performance enhancing effects.
Nah, when you’re smoking at those fractions, you’ll want to settle your horse in to where they’re comfortable. EG told Pat when he wanted to go on the backside and he had to settle him down to make their run into the turn. The better horse won this race regardless of the ride
grantp4022 Yes, no doubt. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was a far better horse than the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence.
Great Genetics have definitely moved on to new generations for Easy Goer and Sunday Silence. The influence of Easy Goer and Sunday Silence on the breeding of racehorses worldwide is incredible. Easy Goer's grandson Araafa won the Group 1 St. James's Palace Stakes, Group 1 Irish 2,000 Guineas, et cetera. Easy Goer's other grandson Astronomer Royal won the Group 1 French 2,000 Guineas, et cetera.
Easy Goer and S.S., two greats. Easy Goer, with a very solid bold burst of sudden speed down the backstretch full of momentum, then taken in hand under a grip under a hold, then another very bold burst, slung like a slingshot with a flourish, gobbling up real estate one jump short by a very rapidly diminishing neck, soaring by like a shot. Two outstanding horses
That's not what happened. He moved up after getting his stride going and caught Sunday but Sunday was being rated and drew away easily to beat EG easily. He was never threatened. Without Sunday in the race, Blushing John would have won easy.

The drug-dependent and cheater juicer doper criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence LOSES EVERY race (even to LE VOYAGEUR, Prized [another drug-dependent horse whom EG beat by 25 lengths], Houston, Cro Lover, Criminal Type, Blushing John [another drug-dependent horse], Stylish Winner, etc, not only to the drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by 8 lengths). The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer had blazing front running speed at every distance as EG went wire to wire running blazing early fractions in 10f Suburban & 8f Champagne, won on the lead in both 9f Wood Memorial and 12f Jockey Club Gold Cup, stalked up very close to the lead running blazing fractions in the record breaking 8f Gotham, 2nd Fastest Belmont Stakes of all time at 12f, 10f Travers, 9f Whitney, 7f Cowdin & was right with the drug-dependent ss the entire races in the Belmont Stakes and Preakness. The only horse who got his ass kicked, crushed, humiliated, dominated, demolished, ownded and passed with ease was the drug-dependent (administered the incredibly effective powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol) and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence who got ass kicked, crushed, humiliated, dominated, demolished, owned and passed with ease by the drug-free Easy Goer. The drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence not only got humiliated by the drug-free Easy Goer (while barely beating the awful Le Voyageur because ss couldn't get all of his ped drugs. The only horse who got his ass kicked, owned, dominated and passed with ease (almost 4x to over 8x times greater an ass kicking and being owned) in ANY of their races was the drug-dependent/cheater doper vet alex harthill dependent sunday silence by the true, authentic drug-free Hall of Fame champion Easy Goer in the Test of the Champion in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs.

B/c the drug dependent/cheater doper vet alex harthill dependent ss couldn't get all of his ped drugs (Clenbuterol, etc) when running in the Test of a Champion in the only state at the time which banned all drugs, & that was a true, authentic account of what ss was as a horse. Even with all of his ped drugs (which ss certainly NEEDED), the drug dependent ss barely beat the drug-free EG by the narrowest of margins in a few races, while losing a few by the slimmest of margins even with the drug-free EG having major trouble in the races (cut off badly by both Northern Wolf [his 1 eyed jock got a 10 day suspension for it], & Dansil later in the Derby; in the Preakness purposely & deviously forced out 10 wide by Valenzuela on backside while passing him totally legally to go head & head with the sprinter Houston (another pathetic horse who beat ss) & did so without cutting ss off or shutting him off [Even ss's owner admitted this] & having to run a huge, early blazing 21 & change monster backstretch run, had the awful Pat ron franklin esque Day continue his awful start stop start stop riding, got pushed & banged purposely & deviously by Valenzuela in as tight as can be on the dead rail from the far turn thru the entire stretch scraping the rail, still would have won but had his head turned by Pat Ron Franklin esque Day with the lead in deep stretch; & in both the Preakness & Classic with Pat Ron Franklin esque Day's terribly tentative error filled start stop start stop awful riding putting out the fire of a splendid drug-free Hall of Fame champion in full flame in both races); & with ss needing all of his ped drugs to do so only by the slimmest of margins. The only true, authentic account of what horses are as horses were/are when they were/are forced to run completely drug-free without any drugs; & everyone saw clearly what ss was when forced to run completely drug free without any drugs as he not only got his ass kicked, dominated, whipped & owned by the drug free EG, he was life/death to barely beat the awful le voyageur. The drug-dependent/cheater doper vet Alex Harthill dependent ss got dominated, whipped & owned in all of his races without all of his ped drugs, & lost most of his races (lost 4 of 6) on larger tracks with a bigger circumference larger than a mile.

In the Test of the Champion drug-free Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed s.s; like heart-filled drug-free wheat separating from heart-less drugged chaff, the heart-filled 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 & corrupt criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. 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 didn't allow the magic man corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian of s.s. 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 & magic man corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. 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 s.s.; & these horses, like ss & many others, got exposed badly when they were forced to run drug-less with no-drugs at all. Never forget. ONLY no-drugs drug-less races were/are true championship races. Only the drug-less 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. Never forget. 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 & corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the narrowest of margins to the drug-reliant s.s., s.s. 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 & running many more races at more fluctuating, different distances in faster times with far superior speed figures & performance ratings; while the drug-reliant s.s. only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with his ped drugs & much more time & rest between races & running far less races. & most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illicit, illegal performance enhancing drugs to s.s. 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, SS'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 performed miracles for horses with major enhancements in performance. 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 with major enhancements in performance. The U.S. DEA filed suit against Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers & very strong amphetamines, etc. Harthill was arrested many times (Ky, Ill, La, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. Ss's vet Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history." Besides Harthill admitting it, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. Nuff said.
@Christopher Hagee Easy Goer was roaring at the end, and had his jockey cut him loose earlier he no doubt would have won the race. He seemed to wait to late to make his move.
@@traviswest9388 Proof that SS was drugged in the '89 Classic? Links? Photos? Without hard evidence, Harthill's reputation by itself isn't enough to support your theory here.
Two rare horses. Both would have triple crowns if they had not met in same year. August Rodin a Sunday silence progeny wins epsom derby 2023. Could aidan o brien bring him for breeders cup classic 2023. 🤔
During the backstretch and around far turn pat day never asked Easy goer to run...What a waste of a ride on such a great horse in such a big race
Easy Goer made a Tremendous and Miraculous run to gobble up that much ground and blow by horses who were not stopping or slowing down at all.
Easy Goer the Faster horse? Who's finer or superior? That is intuitive and nonobjective. They were both superb. Though a small sample, they were mere inches apart from being a level two to two when opposing each other in direct competition. Easy Goer did achieve and accomplish more in his career res'ume'. "Easy Goer was Adonis-like, the closest thing physically to Secretariat. He was plagued by terrible ankles his entire career, but was placed upon a throne at an early age and validated all the admiration and exaltation. Easy Goer had bad shins (needed pinfiring), puffy, problematic ankles, a clubfoot, and a deformed, turned-out left knee. Easy Goer was a glowing chestnut with a fluid stride that belied his short pasterns and less than perfect feet. Pasterns notwithstanding, he had the look of greatness, and he ran to his looks. Easy Goer tragically died very young, with only a few crops. There are many reasons to regret the early loss of Easy Goer, who combined blistering speed over a mile with thoroughly genuine stamina. Corinthian, Storm Flag Flying, My Flag, Will's Way, Lion Tamer, Mull of Kyntire, Astronomer Royal, Furlough, Relaxing Rhythm etc. Given Easy Goer’s own superb pedigree and the quality of mates he received during his few seasons at Claiborne, there is every reason to believe that he would have made an even more significant contribution had he lived longer."
Dude i loved goer great horse great times but man he cant let that horse beat him in three major races,it just cant happen
John Longo He (A Hall of Fame champion Easy Goer) can't let that horse (SS was also a Hall of Fame champion) beat him in a few major races (2 of them by a nose & neck), it just can't happen? As if they BOTH weren't Hall of Fame champions? Great Great horses don't lose to another great horse a few times? How wrong can these statements of yours be? Very wrong. Some would say a great horse (Sec) can't let 3 DIFFERENT inferior horses beat him in 3 major races by a combined 10 lengths, it just can't happen. Some would say great great horses (Sec) don't lose three times at age 3 to 3 different inferior horses by a combined 10 lengths. I wouldn't say that though. Easy Goer and SS were Both great horses but Who was better? The 'better horse'? Better, like beauty is subjective and true in the eyes of the beholder. 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 and 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, rider errors, training and trainer errors, preps & prep race schedules/distances, win/loss %'s, trips, track conditions, tracks, amount of races run, post positions, campaign & career earnings with & without bonuses, etc etc and many many more. And even after all of these numerous factors are factored in, who was better is still subjective. 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 3 to 1 edge in head to head races by the nose of his Preakness win.
There are plenty of great great horses who lost a few races to other great horses (and some not so great horses) with many examples of this being: 1) Noor beat great great HOF champ Citation in 4 of 5 major races head to head. 2) Beau Purple beat great great HOF champ Kelso in 3 of 4 major races head to head. 3) Big Spruce & Wajima beat great great HOF champ Forego in 2 of 3 major races head to head. 4) Great Great champ Damascus beat great great champ Dr Fager in 2 of 4 major races head to head. Great Great champs Swaps and Nashua were 1 to 1 head to head. 5) Mehmet & Interco both beat great great HOF champ John Henry in 2 of 3 major races. 6) Darby Creek Road also beat HOF champ John Henry in 3 of 3 races. 7) Cabrini Green also beat John Henry in 4 of 4 races. 8) Cutlass Reality beat HOY Ferdinand in 3 major races. 9) Billy Kelly beat great great Triple Crown champ Sir Barton in 8 of 12 major races. 10) Formal Gold beat great great HOF champ Skip Away in 4 of 6 major races. 11)Star of Cozzene beat HOY Kotashaan in 3 of 4 major races. 12) Pretense beat HOF champ Native Diver 5 times in major races. 13) Summer Squall beat champion Unbridled in 4 of 6 major races head to head. 14) Heritage of gold beat HOF champ Silverbulletday in 3 of 3 big races. 15) Akureyri beat champion Pleasant Colony in 3 of 4 big races, etc etc. The point also is who was better is subjective & even after the numerous factors are factored in, who was better is still subjective.
Its great to hear a guy talk who knows his shit like u, i was a goer guy but tell me something i grew up in the time of (SEC)i m 54 ,is it me cause i ve been waiting for a horse like him to come along for 40 yrs ,a horse that everytime he s goes out u r looking not just to win but break a track record.I watch mostly the 6,7 major races in the u.s. every yr,an in all these yrs i dont c a horse thats on the same level ,you think its possible to ever c something like him again.I keep putting greats horses next too big red an its lik omg not even close,i look at his times an they r just know other horse to compare him with,tell me what u think.
John Longo Thanks. Well you got to give American Pharoah credit as a great horse. He was 2 year old champion & has won 7 of 8 races. He was able to do something (TC) that hasn't been done in 37 years in an era when horses are much more fragile, much less durable, and much less capable of running longer distances. The Immortals Man O' War, Sec, Citation, Slew, Affirmed, Bid, Kelso, Forego, Native Dancer, etc are very difficult to replicate. As far as Easy Goer and Sunday Silence, in the absence of either, each most likely would have been Triple Crown immortals etc. Instead each proved the others greatness, but at the same time, most likely denied the other Triple Crown immortality etc. Though, I think Easy Goer had that all timer talent, ability, speed/stamina combination, constitution, durability, etc .
Sunday Silence was so sickle-hocked they didn’t think he would ever race.
Sunday Silence's greatest son, the 2005 Japanese Triple Crown winner Deep Impact, sired this year's 2012 Japanese Fillies Triple Crown winner Gentildonna. In all three races Gentildonna held of Verxina, also by Deep Impact. Last year's 2011 Japanese Triple Crown winner Orfevre was sire by another son of Sunday Silence, Stay Gold the winner the 2001 Dubai Sheema Classic and 2001 Hong Kong Vase. Hat Trick (2005 Hong Kong Mile) is the only 2nd-crop US stallion to sire a G1 winner (King David).
As a person who goes to Gulfstream every year, I wish I was alive to see Sunday Silence win the Classic and win against Easy Goer, for the last time. R.I.P, Sunday Silence. You'll always be my favorite Triple Crown near-miss racehorse.
Charlie Whittingham took a Dig at Shug before this race questioning why he ran him at the 1 1/2 distance previously to the Classic...Whittingham was a Master Trainer

Never forget that it means as much or as little as all the scoreboards always reading (and never forgetting) 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; and an endless amount more. In the Test of the Champion drug-free Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed s.s; like heart-filled drug-free wheat separating from heart-less drugged chaff, the heart-filled drug-free cream rose to the top. Never forget. 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 and corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. got exposed badly and romped when he was forced to run drug-less with no-drugs at all. Never forget. 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 and winning drug-less without any performance enhancing drugs; and during that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs. Plus, as importantly, New York didn't allow the magic man corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian of s.s. Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally doping/juicing an endless amount of horses] to perform his magic and juice the drug-reliant and magic man corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. During that era, it was a huge credit to NY [and 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 s.s.; and these horses, like s.s. and many others, got exposed badly when they were forced to run drug-less with no-drugs at all. Never forget. ONLY no-drugs drug-less races were/are true championship races. Only the drug-less 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. Never forget. That is integrity, honesty, fair play and complete fairness for all. The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse than the drug-reliant and corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the narrowest of margins to the drug-reliant s.s., s.s. needed all of his performance enhancing drugs administered to him and still only beat him by the slimmest of margins. Plus, The drug-free Easy Goer won G1 races at 7f, 1 mile, 9f, 10f and 12f drug-free with much less time and rest between races and running many more races at more fluctuating, different distances in faster times with far superior speed figures and performance ratings; while the drug-reliant s.s. only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with his ped drugs and much more time and rest between races and running far less races. And most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illicit, illegal performance enhancing drugs to s.s. 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 performed miracles for horses who made inexplicable improvements with major enhancements in performance. 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) 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. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history. 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. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances, & 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, & 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, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. The drugs were & are so potent that their use or nonuse dramatically alters horse's performances (including SS). 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. Never forget.

Great race by two great horses. Easy Goer's major ankle problems reaching their most severe point, colic on the day of this race, campaign, and mile and a half "prep" dulling him when dropping down in distance to a mile and a quarter were some of the many circumstances involved in this race between two great horses.
Nonsense. Easy Goer always had suspect ankles; Sunday Silence overcame a modest pedigree, crooked legs, and being sickle-hocked. Easy Goer was dead fit on this day. Any suggestion he had colic--a potentially life-threatening condition is a self-serving fiction to explain his losses to S.S.
I bet you don't know that prepping for the Super Derby Sunday Silence worked a mile at Del Mar in 1:33 4/5 tying the track record of Precisionist, an older horse who made it into the Hall of Fame. And Sunday Silence did it easily. THAT work--more than his races--marked him as a Superhorse.
Let's not forget that when he defeated Easy goer in the Preakness he had a training setback due to a stone bruise and missed training. For a few days, Whittingham didn't know if he could get him to the race--and he still beat Easy Goer.

Joshua Complete truth. Easy Goer overcame a crooked turned-out left knee, a clubfoot, short upright pasterns, problematic, puffy enlarged ankles and knees, injured shins that required pinfiring, and cracks on both front heels. In Ray Paulick's book on SS, Paulick said Easy Goer had colic on BC Classic day. Horse colic is defined as abdominal pain, and it encompasses all forms of gastrointestinal conditions which cause abdominal pain and inflammation. The clinical signs of mild tympanic colic are generally mild, transient, and usually self-correct. This type of colic is common, and since they ran Easy Goer, the mild tympanic colic was the type of colic he had to have had on BCC day. The other serious types of colic involve obstructions, impactions and entrapments, and require surgery. Running any horse in a 12f prep for a 10f race is indeed hazardous. Longer races have the hazardous consequence of dulling horses speed and blunting the speed needed in a shorter race, while generating the horse's stamina at the expense of speed. It's awful that Alex Harthill confessed that he administered illegal performance-enhancing drugs to Sunday Silence, Northern Dancer and many others. At the very least there was one state in the whole USA in that time period which prohibited all drugs and also barred Alex Harthill, and in the true championship event with no drugs Easy Goer trounced Sunday Silence.
@@andredarin8966 In addition to all that, in the race itself, Easy Goer checked Sunday Silence in the backstretch so badly it would have warranted his being taken down if he had won. And Pat Day had the gall to file an objection.
The Classic Distance for the Whole World is 1 1/2m, 12f, mile and a half.
Easy Goer diehards still can’t accept the fact he lost three of four to Sunday Silence and it’s been 35 years.😂

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 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 races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. EG dusted ss when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. EG only lost by the slimmest of margins in a few races to ss because ss needed & was given the ped drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine, plus Furosemide/Lasix (a study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 9 length performance enhancement), etc etc. Easy Goer won 14 races, 12 stakes races, 9 G1 races drug-free without any drugs on all 3 sized tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized tracks) on fast, muddy & sloppy tracks at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f with much less time & rest between races & ran many more career races in faster times at all distances; while ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with ped drugs & only on small 8f sized tracks with much more time & rest between races & ran far less career races. Easy Goer was far better & far superior. Period. EG demolished ss when they were forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs. EG was the better horse plain & simple. It's the truth based on Harthill's voluntary admission to DRF Hovdey in 01, plus all of the 88-90 DRFs; 2012 NY Post article titled "The 11 horses who missed out on Triple Crown at Belmont" found on the web; DRF's Mike Watchmaker, Ed Fountaine & Paul Moran; Wikipedia articles with many reliable sources cited; 2 Claiborne books; NY Law; DRF, Bloodhorse & Thor.

When forced to run drug-free with no drugs at all in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs (Plus, as importantly, banned the criminal cheater vet Alex Harthill), ss not only got incinerated and demolished by the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer, but ss barely beat Le Voyageur (who never won even 1 stake race his entire career). And Only by the slimmest of margins due to the drug-dependent and criminal cheater veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence being administered illegal performance enhancing drugs (fully voluntarily confessed and admitted to by Alex Harthill). And only when conceding huge amounts of weight - 14 or 15 pounds of weight concessions.

Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself."

"Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work. Harthill Discloses He Administered Forbidden Performance-Enhancing Drugs To Many American Classic Winners In The Kentucky Derby, Preakness And Breeders' Cup Classic." How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill said, 'I (Harthill) was used for horses (Sunday Silence, etc) pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses (Sunday Silence, etc) I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won. You can only revere the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself. By doing so, I acknowledge that I effectively stole a large amount of money in my career, & cheated many other horses, trainers, owners & riders I competed against. Nonetheless, I consider my extensive doping as a mark of pride.' " Case closed.
Easy Goer exploded and flew like a shot around that sharp turn at Gulfstream in the Swale Stakes. The video is here on this site. Pat Day's own words on the Classic. Thoroughbred Times, Nov. 10, 1989 Mark Simon article: "My horse put in a big run up the backside. Then I THROTTLED him BACK, and Settled him, and gave him a breather." More of Pat Day's own words on the Classic: Nov. 5, 1989 Sun Sentinel Dave Joseph article, "My ride wasn't the best. My horse put in a big run, then I settled him and gave him a breather when SS went." In spite of when Day moved, or in spite of how fast or not that he moved, he would always ease up, back down & pull back & put out the fire when in full flame (let down, confusing start, stop, start, stop) after making moves, as he did in both the Preakness & Classic. Pat Day's own words on the Pat Day interview video here on this web site, and quotes on the Preakness: "I was on the better horse. It was absolute rider error. I got him beat." " Committing to go, then Letting him down and confusing him, start stop, start stop riding were the mistakes. Start, stop, start stop, letting him down, confusing, & easing up after making moves were the big mistakes in both races that got the better horse beat. As well as getting out ridden with race riding.
PatWaitAllDay pat day was a great jockey but he made numerous errors riding easy goer
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha! That's hilarious. Sunday Silence was far better than EG. Preakness proved it and this race confirms it. He won easy no matter what Day said. They kept using him and he kept losing Nice gig. Second money better than no money which is what would have happened if he had been replaced.

The drug-dependent and cheater juicer doper criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence LOSES EVERY race (even to LE VOYAGEUR, Prized [another drug-dependent horse whom EG beat by 25 lengths], Houston, Cro Lover, Criminal Type, Blushing John [another drug-dependent horse], Stylish Winner, etc, not only to the drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by 8 lengths). The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer had blazing front running speed at every distance as EG went wire to wire running blazing early fractions in 10f Suburban & 8f Champagne, won on the lead in both 9f Wood Memorial and 12f Jockey Club Gold Cup, stalked up very close to the lead running blazing fractions in the record breaking 8f Gotham, 2nd Fastest Belmont Stakes of all time at 12f, 10f Travers, 9f Whitney, 7f Cowdin & was right with the drug-dependent ss the entire races in the Belmont Stakes and Preakness.

The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse than the drug-reliant & corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the narrowest of margins to the drug-reliant s.s., s.s. 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 & running many more races at more fluctuating, different distances in faster times with far superior speed figures & performance ratings; while the drug-reliant s.s. only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with his ped drugs & much more time & rest between races & running far less races. & most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illicit, illegal performance enhancing drugs to s.s. 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, SS'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 performed miracles for horses with major enhancements in performance. 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 with major enhancements in performance. The U.S. DEA filed suit against Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers & very strong amphetamines, etc. Harthill was arrested many times (Ky, Ill, La, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. Ss's vet Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history." Besides Harthill admitting it, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities.
@@JoeKoOhNo if Pat Day was such a bad jockey on EG why keep using him? thise excuses excuses I guess these people will never get over it Sunday Silence showed he was the superior horse.
Great horses and great rivalry between Easy Goer and Sunday Silence. Easy Goer was a great Hall of Famer everywhere, however Easy Goer was a true champion running in many drug free and medication free championship races, and this is an important point. New York's no-medication no-drug rules during that era 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 in that era. 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, Tight Spot, Dance Smartly, Hollywood Wildcat, 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 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.
Carlos Steve Levine True indeed. No drugs, no medications is the way it was and the way it should be.
+Carlos Steve Levine :22, :46, :10, and :35 no drugs, no meds, EG & SS = stallions... BJ ran one hell of a race as well...
+sbdgrwnmrw FJ? I think you meant Blushing John [BJ instead of FJ]. Actually Florida allowed drugs and medications, and Blushing John was one of the many horses during that era that could not compete without the drugs and medications. I mentioned him when I said : Back then, the connections of many top horses, including Blushing John, 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.

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.
+Carlos Steve Levine thank you for clarifying for me... help me understand here if you don't mind... the one's you stated admitted freely i'll just have to take your word for but do you think there is any chance that SS or EG may have used anything outside of New York? The whole "drug thing" in horse racing seems to be one of those "talked about" but "not talked about" enigma's... i know absolutely nothing about it... my only questions/concerns would be does it kill horses on a regular basis? or severely hinder their quality of life or life expectancy?
+sbdgrwnmrw Easy Goer and Sunday Silence both never used the anti bleeder and diuretic medication Lasix in their entire careers. Both horses were not bleeders. That was great because the diuretic anti bleeder medication Lasix can mask other drugs by flushing prohibited substances from a horse's system in order to elude post-race detection. Obviously Easy Goer ran the vast majority of his races in New York with no drugs or medications at all. As far both horses using other legal drugs [other than Lasix] in other races outside New York, I am not sure. The other horses I mentioned that were drug users are easily found if you did a search and researched them. They are easily found on the internet if you searched these horses. Obviously the drugs and medications can help a horse run better and faster. They can also hinder and do a lot of damage as well. I think that many drugs and medications can enhance performance, mask injuries and soundness problems, cause catastrophic breakdowns and lameness, give horses advantages in helping them breathe better, mask other drugs in system, make horses much less durable, become reliant on the drugs, etc.
Many Fans Just look at the results...But Easy Goer came into this Race off a Long Grueling historic campaign and was Training Poorly and Connections were going to scratch him from this race as He was Not doing well and his ankles were flaring up...Sunday Silence was So Fresh and Ready coming into this Race...Easy Goer Only losing by a Neck was Amazing to me considering the Circumstances Entering the Race and How Sluggish he was Until Deep stretch...100% Ready Easy Goer Crushes this Field as the Heavy 1-1 Favorite...Also took what McCarron called Best ride of his career to Beat Easy Goer
Travis West, It looks "kinda bad" that what you wrote is totally false. Easy Goer won outside of drug-less NY [plus NY outlawed and prohibited his magic man criminal crooked corrupt crook veterinarian Alex Harthill] when he ran the fastest 7 furlongs of the entire year in Florida winning the Swale Stakes sizzling around that sharp turn and obliterating a multiple G1 winner. Eg lost a few races by the slimmest of margins outside of drug-less NY to the drug-needed s.s., who was totally dependent on and needed all of his performance enhancing drugs, as well as s.s. being totally dependent on his magic man criminal crooked corrupt criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally juicing and doping his horses; plus Harthill confessed to illegally juicing and doping s.s.]. It looks as bad as can be that s.s. was never able to win without all of his performance enhancing drugs, and that s.s. could never win without his magic man criminal crooked corrupt juicer crook veterinarian Alex Harthill illegally juicing and doping s.s. And that counts against s.s. It also looks as bad as can be that s.s. also could not win on bigger tracks with a larger circumference than a mile (s.s. had a LOSING RECORD at his larger HOME track IN CALIFORNIA at Hollywood Park - s.s. LOST 4 races on bigger tracks). If only they could've faced each other a few or more times in drug-less no-drugs races [as well as without his magic man criminal crooked corrupt crook illegal juicer veterinarian Alex Harthill] and on bigger tracks such as Hollywood, Hialeah, Belmont, Arlington, Saratoga, Atlantic City, Woodbine, Aqueduct, Laurel etc etc. But alas, s.s.'s connections weren't interested.
@Don't Bet Chalk 1997 MORE TOTALLY FALSE nonsense from YOU Travis West. EG, SS and Criminal Type were supposed to meet at the larger ARLINGTON PARK [NOT the larger Hollywood Park home track of s.s. where s.s. had a LOSING record at] in August of 1990, but BOTH s.s. and EG were forced to retire with career ending injuries. What totally false nonsense you repeatedly spew.

Whittingham said: "Easy Goer has twice went by s.s. so fast s.s. never saw him." And, When asked if he would run s.s. drug-less and with no-drugs in all of these rich, prestigious, historic, Championship drug-less G1 races, Whittingham said, "I'd rather run with blue cows and billy goats." And in many other articles, Whittingham also said, "I am highly angered that NY doesn't allow my veterinarian Alex Harthill." His magic man criminal crooked corrupt criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill, arrested an endless amount of times for illegally juicing and doping his horses, plus Harthill confessed to illegally juicing and doping s.s..
@Don't Bet Chalk 1997 Too bad that Arthur Hancock used and uses performance enhancing drugs and chemicals on all of his horses, including the drug-reliant and illegal juicer doper vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence, Harlan, Wanderin Boy, Strodes Creek, Quest, Owsley, Menifee and an endless amount of others.
@Don't Bet Chalk 1997 You have all of the proof, facts and truths shown and given to you; you simply fail to see the proof, truths and facts. Not true at all. Northern Dancer was also totally dependent on illegal illicit drugs and became a great sire worldwide. Ditto Storm Cat, Tapit, Into Mischief, Curlin, Speightstown, Medaglia D' Oro, Unbridled, Unbridled's Song, and numerous others. And many infirm, unsound horses also went on to be great sires like Raise a Native, Danzig, etc. And s.s., a big fish in a very very small pond, took over from the previously dominant sires Northern Taste, Tesco Boy, etc, in the insular, very small pond of the island of Japan. And s.s. also never sired even ONE G1 winner in Europe or the US. And s.s.'s son deep impact was disqualified from a 3rd place finish to last place for testing positive for the same type [An immensely effective powerful performance enhancing BRONCHODILATOR] of illicit, illegal performance enhancing drug that Harthill confessed to illegally giving to s.s.
Sunday Sillence is Japanese horse race’s God. Perfect stallion.
Indeed! A Great ! Forever & Always
The 3-1 sports competition win-loss record means as much or as little as all these sports competition win-loss records 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 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.
Some of Harthill's other favorite magic making performance enhancing drugs that he administered 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 US Drug Enforcement Administration filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing and using unusual quantities of these and other drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers, and very strong amphetamines, etc. Alex Harthill and 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 was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (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 the DRF, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. History and facts. Case closed!!
Score. Scoreboards. Margins. Charts on rides. The official margin was a neck. Clearly, it was a very rapidly diminishing neck, as Easy Goer rolled by at the wire. The official DRF chart notes SS won "driving." McCarron was told not to hit the horse by
his trainer due to his disdain for being whipped (as well as weaving tendencies), but what did he do for it to be "driving"? He was repeatedly & continuously asking him
("driving") to run by throwing crosses (flicking & swooping with
the reins, cross reining), and poking him (as McCarron said in the Blood
Horse Nov. 11, 1989 article) on his shoulder, and showing him the whip
with his left hand. Easy Goer was under a hand ride the last furlong of the Belmont, while widening his margin to win by 8 lengths. The chart noted he won "ridden out" in the Belmont. Both great horses but who was better. The 'better horse'? Better, like beauty is subjective and true in the eyes of the beholder. 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 and 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, rider errors, training and trainer errors, win/loss %'s, trips, amount of races run, post positions, campaign & career earnings with & without bonuses, etc etc and many many more. And even after all of these numerous factors are factored in, who was better is still subjective. 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 you can say other than head to heads with other examples being: 1) Noor beat HOF champ Citation in 4 of 5 races head to head. 2) Beau Purple beat HOF champ Kelso in 3 of 4 races head to head. 3) Big Spruce & Wajima beat HOF champ Forego in 2 of 3 races head to head. 4) Damascus beat Dr Fager in 2 of 4 races head to head. Swaps and Nashua were 1 to 1 head to head. 5) Mehmet & Interco beat John Henry in 2 of 3 races. 6) Darby Creek Road also beat HOF champ John Henry in 3 of 3 races. 7) Cabrini Green also beat John Henry in 4 of 4 races. 8) Cutlass Reality beat HOY Ferdinand in 3 races. 9) Billy Kelly beat Triple Crown champ Sir Barton in 8 of 12 races. 10) Formal Gold beat HOF champ Skip Away in 4 of 6 races. 11)Star of Cozzene beat HOY Kotashaan in 3 of 4 races. 12) Pretense beat HOF champ Native Diver 5 times. 13) Summer Squall beat champion Unbridled in 4 of 6 races head to head. 14) Heritageofgold beat HOF champ Silverbulletday in 3 of 3 races. 15) Akureyri beat champion Pleasant Colony in 3 of 4 races, etc etc. The point also is who was better is subjective.
Sunday Silent was a way better horse
+John anthony How many times have you responded to me with this same response? I then respond to you, which you then agree with me. Better, or a little better, or way better are all totally subjective and true in the eyes of the beholder.
+John anthony You've responded to me numerous times and I have responded to you numerous times. And each time you agree with me. Better? Better , a lil better, or way better is subjective and true in the eyes of the beholder. Many many greats were behind or tied on the head to head scoreboard, including Citation, Kelso, Easy Goer, Forego, Skip Away, Dr Fager, Damascus, Arts and Letters, Swaps, Nashua, Round Table, Ancient Title, John Henry, Unbridled, Silverbulletday, Pleasant Colony, Sir
Barton, Ferdinand, Native Diver, and many many others. Sec lost 3 races to 3 different horses by a combined 11 lengths. Were the horses
who were ahead (or tied) on the head to head scoreboards better or a lil
better than these? Better is subjective, and there are numerous
factors. And even after those factors are factored in, who was better is
totally subjective. Noor beat immortal Citation 4 out of 5 races.
Beau Purple beat immortal Kelso 3 out of 4. Big Spruce beat immortal
Forego 2 out of 3. Interco and Mehmet beat lengendary champ John Henry 2 out of 3. Cabrini Green beat John Henry 4 of 4. Darby Creek Road
beat legendary John Henry 3 of 3. HOF champ Damascus beat HOF champ Dr Fager 2 out of 4. Cutlass Reality beat HOY Ferdinand 3 times. Billy Kelly beat Triple Crown winner Sir Barton 8 of 12. Formal Gold beat
HOF HOY champ Skip Away 4 out of 6. HOF champ Majestic Prince beat HOF HOY champ Arts and Letters 2 out of 3. Pretense beat HOF champ Native Diver 5 times. Clem beat HOF HOY champ Round Table 3 times. Summer Squall beat Champion Unbridled 4 out of 6. Heritageofgold was beat HOF champ Silverbulletday 3 out of 3 times. Crystal Water beat HOF champ Ancient Title 4 times. Akureyri beat Champ Pleasant Colony 3 out of 4. And what? Who is better? That is totally subjective. There are
numerous factors, and even after those factors are factored in, who was
better is still totally subjective.
Easy Goer and 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 and 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% ; and also records set, near records set, still standing records,
campaigns, durability, constitution, dominance and superiority in races -
average win margin and average loss margin, weights carried, weight
concessions, etc. They were both greats no doubt, but IMO other than SS's slim edge in their head to head races, Easy Goer was better than SS
in most - if not all - these other factors and categories. Both greats,
but In my opinion Easy Goer was a better horse than SS, and had a
superior body of work and career than SS. But of course, once again,
better in any way is still totally subjective.
Ehh he lost the greatness horse race i ve ever seen

What?
The official margin in the Belmont Stakes was an increasing 8 length margin win by Easy Goer over Sunday Silence, officially 'ridden out'. The official margins in the Preakness and BC Classic were a nose and a neck - the slightest and tiniest of margins, an eyelash, officially 'driving'. Driving is the most vigorous of riding - driving is much more vigorous riding than ridden out. Even with dying very premature, EASY GOER turned out to be a SUPER STALLION with the continued dominance of the American and European Thoroughbred. Even with dying very premature, EASY GOER changed the racing world in the USA and Europe. Easy Goer is in the bloodlines of a numerous amount of G-1 winners in the USA and Europe. Easy Goer's grandson Araafa won the Group 1 St. James's Palace Stakes, G-1 Irish 2,000 Guineas, et cetera. Easy Goer's grandson Astronomer Royal won the Group 1 French 2,000 Guineas, et cetera.

Even with dying very premature, Easy Goer was without a doubt much better in the breeding shed in the USA and Europe. The many attempts that have been made to generate Sunday Silence's sire-line outside the insular, restricted, big fish in small pond Japan have had very little to very modest success, demonstrating his worth outside Japan is minimal - sons of Sunday Silence that have stood at stud outside Japan in Europe, Australia and the U.S.A. have had very little to very modest success, including Divine Light, Born King, Keep the Faith, Layman, Tayasu Tsuyoshi, Real Impact, Bubble Gum Fellow, Genuine, Hat Trick, Silent Name, Fuji Kiseki, Fusaichi Zenon, Agnes Gold, Victoire Pisa, Neorealism, Brave Smash, Black Tuxedo, et cetera.

John Henry lost 3 of 3 races to Darby Creek Road. The better horse historically loses 4 out of 5 to the same competitor. Shuvee lost 4 of 5 races to Gallant Bloom. The better horse historically loses 4 out of 6 to the same competitor. Skip Away lost 4 of 6 races to Formal Gold. The better horse historically loses 2 out of 4 to the same competitor. Dr Fager lost 2 of 4 races to Damascus by a combined 12 lengths. The better horse historically loses 8 out of 12 to the same competitor. Sir Barton lost 8 of 12 races to Billy Kelly. The list is endless. Nothing will change racing history that the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won 14 races drug-free without any drugs, while the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence won 0 (ZERO) races drug-free without any drugs. Easy Goer was without a doubt the much better horse on the track when they had to run without all drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & also banned Sunday Silence's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill. The TRUE DRUG-FREE HALL OF FAME CHAMPION EASY GOER was inducted in the Hall of Fame while doing it drug-free without any drugs in all of his races in his career; while the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence did it with the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug), Sublimaze (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute) & Etorphine (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute), plus the powerful performance enhancing diuretic drug Furosemide/Lasix (scientifically proven to give a 9 length performance enhancement), etc etc. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill admitted he gave the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to sunday silence to the DRF's Jay Hovdey in 2001 in 2001 DRF Hovdey article. Harthill was arrested, banned, suspended & fined numerous times in many states for giving many horses illegal performance enhancing drugs. Case closed.
Friggin' AWESOME!!...i watched this live and totally lost my voice screaming for the black horse that nobody wanted....hei s top broodmare sire 2019 and the grandsire of the incredible Almond Eye...who has the last laugh now?....:)
The official margin was a neck. Clearly, it was a very rapidly diminishing neck, as Easy Goer rolled by at the wire. The official DRF chart notes SS won "driving." McCarron was told not to hit the horse by his trainer due to his disdain for being whipped, but what did he do for it to be "driving"? He was repeatedly & continuously asking him ("driving") to run by throwing crosses (flicking & swooping with the reins, cross reining), and poking him (as McCarron said in the Blood Horse Nov. 11, 1989 article) on his shoulder, and showing him the whip with his left hand.
As for the Superior, better horse? Who was better and superior? Everyone admit who was better, superior? Better and superior is subjective, & true in the eyes of the beholder. In 5 races, Noor beat Citation in 4 of the 5. In 4 races, Beau Purple beat Kelso in 3 of the 4. In 3 races, Big Spruce beat Forego in 2 of the 3. In 3 other races, Wajima beat Forego in 2 of the 3. In 3 races, Interco beat John Henry in 2 of the 3. In 3 other races, Mehmet beat John Henry in 2 of the 3. Cabrini Green also beat John Henry 4 times. Darby Creek Road also beat John Henry 3 times. Crystal Water beat Ancient Title in 4 races. In 4 races, Damascus beat Dr Fager in 2 of the 4 races. Cutlass Reality beat Ferdinand in 3 races. In 12 races, Billy Kelly beat Hall of Fame Triple Crown champion Sir Barton in 8 of the 12. Pretense beat Native Diver in 5 races. In 6 races, Formal Gold beat Skip Away in 4 of the 6. In 4 races, Akureyri beat Pleasant Colony in 3 of the 4. The point is: Who people would take & who was better is subjective.
The 3-1 means as much or as little as Noor 4, Triple Crown winner Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Hall of Fame Champion & HOY Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Triple Crown winner Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Hall of Fame Champion & HOY Forego 1; Wajima 2, Hall of Fame Champion & HOY Forego 1; Cabrini Green 4, Hall of Fame Champion & HOY John Henry 0; Darby Creek Road 3, Hall of Fame Champion & HOY John Henry 0; Gallant Bloom 4, Hall of Famer 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. And 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, 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 to ss. I quote the DRF for the factual truths: "Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex 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 illegal drugs, including Clenbuterol to Sunday Silence. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. 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. 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.
Some of Harthill's other favorite performance enhancing drugs that he gave his horses were Etorphine (infinitely more powerful than aspirin bute), Banamine (50 times more powerful than aspirin bute) and Sublimaze (infinitely more powerful than aspirin bute). The drugs Etorphine and Sublimaze are drugs that gave/give horses such a sense of euphoria and well-being that they feel like they don’t have legs. The US Drug Enforcement Administration filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing and using unusual quantities of these and other drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers, and very strong amphetamines, etc. Alex Harthill and 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 was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (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 the DRF, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. Case closed.
Easy Goer was the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won 14 races drug-free without any drugs, Easy Goer won 12 stakes races drug-free without any drugs, Easy Goer won 9 G1 races drug-free without any drugs at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f. Sunday Silence won 0 races drug-free without any drugs. EG 14, ss 0; EG 1, ss 0.
And he lost to Sunday Silence three times in four races. Unfortunately--for you--history will always be on Sunday Silence's side. You , on the other hand, have your pet theories as to why Easy Goer lost, which I'm guessing are not a source of much comfort when you watch replays of their races.
Another one of the thousands of your yt accounts with different names.
Of course scoreboards, scores & numbers LIE & DON'T TELL the TRUTH when it is carried out illegally with performance enhancing drugs. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion EASY GOER 14 wins drug-free without any drugs, SS 0 wins drug-free without any drugs. Easy Goer 14, SS 0 ; EG 1, ss 0 are the TRUE FINAL SCORES. The slight 3-1 edge by the narrowest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss by the slimmest of margins; Harthill admitted he gave the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to ss) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others. It was all attained 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 horse than the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet 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, NY 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 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 races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs 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 slimmest 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 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. 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 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). 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 to Sunday Silence, & not Banamine (5 times more powerful than aspirin bute) & Lasix (which were legal in every state in the US except NY back then anyways; but ss was listed as being administered Lasix & Banamine 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.
Of course scoreboards, scores & numbers LIE & DON'T TELL the TRUTH when it is attained illegally with performance enhancing drugs. The slight 3-1 edge by the slimmest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss the narrowest of margins; ss's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitted to giving ss illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze) is equivalent to the "final scores in the record books" for Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, Floyd Landis, East Germany in Olympics, Ben Johnson, Diego Maradona, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro, Jose Canseco, Ken Caminiti, Jason Giambi, etc., plus all of the G1 winners that Jason Servis & Jorge Navarro trained, including G1 winners Maximum Security, World of Trouble, Firenze Fire, Sharp Azteca, XY Jet, Private Zone, El Deal & many others. All of these horses also won G1 races illegally with illegal ped drugs, & the racing associations HAVE NOT & CANNOT GO BACK & "take him down" (dq him) from these wins YEARS AFTER all winning purse money has been long ago (MANY YEARS BEFORE) paid out. Ditto that The drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Harthill-reliant sunday silence also won by the slimmest of margins illegally with illegal ped drugs, & the racing associations HAVE NOT & CANNOT GO BACK & "take him down" (dq him) from these wins YEARS AFTER all winning purse money has been long ago (MANY YEARS BEFORE) paid out. Why wasn't the illegal vet of ss, Harthill, given jail time, lengthy bans, fines, etc? HE WAS MANY TIMES! The US DEA filed suit against Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of these & other drugs. Harthill was arrested, banned, suspended & fined many other times for tampering, bribery & illegally doping horses with drugs, & he lost his license in many states many times. But, Harthill DIED only a few years after he admitted in 2001 to DRF to illegally administering illegal ped drugs (Clenbuterol, Etorphine, Sublimaze, etc) to the drug-reliant & illegal vet Harthill-reliant ss (& many other horses). Harthill DIED before these 2001 admissions could be penalized. So much for the "final scores in the record books" meaning something or meaning anything at all. The only final scores & records that count, & the only ones in the record books are those that were/are run drug-free without any drugs, & that is why the scores are Easy Goer 14, SS 0; & EG 1, ss 0.
The slight 3-1 edge by the narrowest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss by the slimmest of margins, admitted to by ss's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitting to giving ss illegal performance enhancing drugs) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others. During that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs. Plus, as importantly, NY banned the illegal criminal vet of ss Alex Harthill. 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 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 use & abuse of drugs disgraced & dishonored the year of Sunday Silence. All should not bestow honors on drug-dependent horses. Even trainer Charlie Whittingham acknowledged his colt's impediments, & didn't run him in the Travers Stakes in view of the fact that he wouldn't have been able to utilize drugs there in New York. Sunday Silence, & many other horses, would never have made it minus drugs. Sunday Silence is a drug-dependent horse. ALL of his races IN 1989, EXCEPT the Belmont Stakes in New York, came with the benefit of various drugs, INCLUDING the diuretic DRUG FUROSEMIDE, which is a performance enhancer in many ways & can flush & mask the presence of many other illegal drugs in drug tests. Sunday Silence required the assistance of drugs to WIN his races, while he sustained a MONUMENTAL LOSS to Easy Goer when he wasn't able to use the drugs. Because of Sunday Silence's advantage of drugs, all call into question his accomplishments as a horse. Sunday Silence, like Sunny's Halo, Spend a Buck, Gate Dancer & Wild Again before him, is a classic, illustrative example of why drugs & racing don't merge, especially at the sport's highest level. After his narrow drug-aided wins in the Kentucky Derby & Preakness, Sunday Silence went to New York in search of winning the Belmont Stakes & the Triple Crown. Because New York doesn't allow horses to run on any drugs -it's the only jurisdiction in America that doesn't-the suspicion was whether he could win without being given the drugs. It was a distressingly captivating matter in question, which served to remove the Triple Crown of the excitement & allure it has always had. Sunday Silence got overwhelmed in the Belmont, finishing a widening 8 lengths behind Easy Goer. Sunday Silence required the assistance of drugs to WIN his races, while he sustained a monumental loss when he wasn't able to use the drugs. Even trainer Charlie Whittingham acknowledged his colt's impediments, & didn't run him in the Travers Stakes in view of the fact that he wouldn't have been able to utilize drugs there in New York. No wonder so many condemn the usage of drugs. Sunday Silence, & many other horses, would never have made it minus drugs. The use & abuse of drugs disgraced & dishonored the year of Sunday Silence. All should not bestow honors on drug-dependent horses." DRF Jan 90 Mike Watchmaker.
The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion is Easy Goer. 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, by far, is being inducted in the Hall of Fame, and Easy Goer did it drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer's career accomplishments and body of work were far superior to the drug-reliant and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence. The litmus test of a champion is winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs at all, and the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer Obliterated the drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs (and, as importantly, also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well; Harthill was 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-dependent horses like ss; and these horses, like ss and 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. Only No-drug drug-free races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drug drug-free races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. And, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs to ss; but he couldn't do so in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs and banned Alex Harthill as well. The drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence got obliterated when he couldn't get all of his performance enhancing drugs from his illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs (and also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well). Talk about a horse that needed to bring his illegal performance enhancing drugs and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill with him - ss is just that horse, a drug-reliant horse, an illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant horse! The drug-reliant & illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence NEEDED EVERYTHING in his favor to beat the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins in a few races. The drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence LOST 4 RACES on larger tracks with circumferences bigger than a mile (including ss having a LOSING RECORD while LOSING 3 races at his larger HOME track at the bigger circumferenced Hollywood Park track). Talk about a horse that needed to bring his track with him, ss is just that horse! Meanwhile, the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won Drug-free G1's at 7f, 1 mile, 1 1/8m, 1 1/4m & 1 1/2m on all 3 sized tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized tracks) drug-free with much less rest and time between races and ran far more races with faster times at all distances and ran far superior speed figures and far superior performance ratings; while the drug-dependent and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence only won G1's with performance enhancing drugs and his illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill and only at 9f to 10f only with performance enhancing drugs and only on small 8f sized tracks and with much more rest and time between races and ran far less races even with performance enhancing drugs. Talk about a horse that needed to bring his illegal performance enhancing drugs and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill with him - ss is just that horse, a drug-reliant horse, an illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant horse! Talk about a horse that needed to bring his one sized small 8f track with him, ss is just that horse.
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.
"And Now Easy Goer is beginning to Roll. Sunday Silence Bracing for the Oncoming Power of Easy Goer, who's right at his neck. Sunday Silence surges to the front. Easy Goer With One Final Acceleration and Sunday Silence Holds On by a Desperate Neck in a Racing Epic!" The 89' Preakness calls were great too. Johnson's: "And down the stretch they come. Heads apart. Easy Goer on the inside with a slight lead, on the outside Sunday Silence! The rest of them far back! Here's the finish of the Preakness. Photo finish, noses apart! A dramatic photo finish! What a Finish!" Denman's: "Easy Goer's Pulling Day Out of the Saddle Going Right on By! Sunday Silence Coming Back on the Outside! And Here's the Race We've Been Waiting For! Head and Head Through the Stretch. What a Horse Race this One Is! Easy Goer and Sunday Silence Going Nose and Nose!" Durkin's call of Arazi may have been the best: "Here Indeed is a Super Star! Arazi Absolutely Brilliant! Absolutely Sensational!"
Acknowledge both horses greatness so neither is depreciated. I'm just as guilty of it too citing drug-free races, races with drugs, track sizes, G1 wins at different distances, running differing fluctuating distances, rest and time between races, etc. But, I quote: "The two were inches apart and each proved the other's greatness. Both never beat the other in a way that proved either were better in any way, and each race left no one thinking it could not have gone the other way. Easy Goer & Sunday Silence were the others double, the itches each could not scratch. At no point was either allowed to let themselves blink, lest the other steal the show. The two were as close as the fingers of a fist. Easy Goer & Sunday Silence were the living embodiment of what the old-timer said when asked which gunfighter was faster: 'I’d hate to have to live on the difference.”
The official margin in the Belmont Stakes was an increasing 8 length margin win by Easy Goer over Sunday Silence, officially 'ridden out'. The official margins in the Preakness and BC Classic were a nose and a neck - the slightest and tiniest of margins, an eyelash, officially 'driving'. Driving is the most vigorous of riding - driving is much more vigorous riding than ridden out. The many attempts that have been made to generate Sunday Silence's sire-line outside the insular, restricted, big fish in small pond Japan have had very little to very modest success, demonstrating his worth outside Japan is minimal - sons of Sunday Silence that have stood at stud outside Japan in Europe, Australia and the U.S.A. have had very little to very modest success, including Divine Light, Born King, Keep the Faith, Layman, Tayasu Tsuyoshi, Real Impact, Bubble Gum Fellow, Genuine, Hat Trick, Silent Name, Fuji Kiseki, Fusaichi Zenon, Agnes Gold, Victoire Pisa, Neorealism, Brave Smash, Black Tuxedo, et cetera. Sunday Silence himself did not even sire one G-1 winner in all of Europe and the U.S.A., and many attempted to, including Dance Partner, Dance in the Mood, Sundrop, Layman, Keep the Faith, Silent Name, Deep Impact {disqualified from 3rd place finish due to a positive drug test for an illegal drug}, To the Victory, Zenno Rob Roy, Heart's Cry, Sunday Joy, Seven Moons, Negotiator, Wild Sunday and others - All of these sons and daughters of Sunday Silence lost all of their G-1 races in Europe and the U.S.A. The great Japanese sires Sunday Silence and Deep Impact both took over from Northern Taste and Tesco Boy as leading sire in the insular, restricted, big fish in small pond Japan. While a few Deep Impact's have had success with G-1 wins in Europe, et cetera, it must be noted that he was bred to the best of the best Coolmore Galileo, Sadler's Wells and Giant's Causeway mares to do so in most cases - and in the other cases he was bred to the best of the best Niarchos family mares who are descendants of the great Miesque. However, none of these compare to Galileo, Danehill, Sadler's Wells, Northern Dancer, Mr. Prospector, Danzig, Native Dancer, Bold Ruler, Man o' War and some others. Dubawi, Tapit, Curlin, Sea the Stars and Frankel may be on their way to these aforementioned sires above. Japan's great successes cannot be attributed only because Sunday Silence and Deep Impact. While SS's blood is oversaturated in Japan, some horses without any SS blood have also been leading sires in Japan, including the aforementioned Northern Taste and Tesco Boy, as well as King Kamehameha, Symboli Kris S, Kurofune, Rulership, Harbinger, Sakura Bakushin O, Brian's Time and Lord Kanaloa. Many horses without any SS blood at all have been greats in Japan and worldwide, including all of these G-1 winners: Panthalassa {G-1 Saudi Cup & G-1 Dubai Turf winner}, El Condor Pasa {G-1 winner in Europe}, Taiki Shuttle {G-1 winner in Europe}, Seeking the Pearl {G-1 winner in Europe}, Lord Kanaloa, Vodka, TM Opera O, Jungle Pocket, King Kamehameha, Apapane, Narita Brian, Symboli Kris S, Meisho Samson, Rey de Oro, Agnes Digital, Mayano Top Gun, Air Groove, Grass Wonder, Tap Dance City, Sweep Tosho, Satono Crown, et cetera.
I give you credit for being thorough bordering on obsession!
Yeah, and the official record was Sunday Silence 3 wins and 1 loss versus Easy Goer and Easy Goer 1 win and 3 losses versus Sunday Silence including getting hammered by Sunday Silence in the Debry that you "conveniently" failed to mention you clown.
Reality is Sunday Silence beat Easy Goer 3 of the 4 times they faced each other and regardless of what they did in the breeding shed, Sunday Silence was the SUPERIOR horse on the racetrack! FACT! Officially speaking clown. LOL 🙂

SS also was given the remarkably effective performance-enhancing drug Furosemide (a scientific study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 9 length performance enhancement).

SigScorpion - Why do you keep deleting all of your comments??
Not racing. Head to head records? Who was better? Superior Body of work, superior career, wins against open company-older horses, weights, records, times, dominance-superiority etc etc etc are just some of the many factors. And even after those factors are factored in, who is better is still subjective. Better is totally subjective & true in the eyes of the beholder. Examples of this: Noor beat Citation in 4 of 5 races head to head. Final score, Noor-4 Cy-1. Beau Purple beat Kelso in 3 of 4 races head to head. Final score Beau Purple-3, Kelso-1. Big Spruce beat Forego in 2 of 3 races head to head. Final score BigS-2, Forego-1. Wajima also beat Forego in 2 of 3 races head to head. Final score, Waj-2, Forego-1. Damascus beat Dr Fager in 2 of 4 races head to head. Final score 2-2. Both Interco & Mehmet beat John Henry in 2 of 3 races head to head. Final score Interco-2, JH-1. Mehmet-2, JH-1. Cabrini Green beat John Henry 4 times head to head. Final score CG-4, JH-0. Darby Creek Road beat John Henry 3 times head to head. Cutlass Reality beat Ferdinand 3 times head to head. Billy Kelly beat Triple Crown winner Sir Barton in 8 of 12 races head to head. Final score, Billy Kelly-8, Sir Barton-4. Formal Gold beat Skip Away in 4 of 6 races head to head. Final score, FG-4,Skip Away-2. Star Of Cozzene beat Kotashaan in 3 of 4 races head to head. Pretense beat Native Diver in 5 races head to head. Akureyri beat Pleasant Colony in 3 of 4 races head to head. Final score, Akureyri-3, Pleasant Colony-1. Even after all those many factors are factored in, who is better is totally subjective.
Arbee's Boy beat Forego 10 times but only won 2 graded stakes and only 5 other races and one of those was his maiden victory.

Both great horses. Though Easy Goer ran all of these historic races among the Top 1 to 5 fastest all time runnings(many of them with over 100 runnings): Belmont at 12f, Gotham at 8f, Whitney at 9f, Travers at 10f, Champagne at 8f, Suburban at 10f, including running the fastest mile of all time by any 3 yr old in 1:32:2, second fastest Belmont of all time with only Secretariat ever faster. & in addition running right on the track record at 6.5f & the fastest 7f of the year in Florida.
Yea but Sunday Silence won the big races. Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Breeders cup Classic
@@josephhale9198 yeah a nose twice and no one blames rider error? Belmont was 8.5 lengths decisively
@@JohnDoe-jp8fx You still won’t let it go. I bet you don’t know that prepping for the Super Derby Sunday Silence worked one mile at Del Mar in 1:33 2/5-in hand from a standing start, tying the track record of 4-year old, Precisionist, who is in the Hall of Fame.
Insofar as Easy Goer’s blistering Gotham goes, Dispersal won the NYRA
mile at Aqueduct, bucking s strong headwind in 1:32 4/5 on a track not nearly as fast as Aqueduct’s in the Gotham.
And the nose loss in the Preakness? Sunday Silence missed a week of training due to a stone bruise, Day dropped Easy Goer in on him on the backstretch causing him to take up and lose two to three lengths. His move to collar Easy Goer on the turn and then have enough left in the tank to win was almost supernatural.
Give it up. Easy Goer dropped three out of four and that’s the way it will stay in the books no matter how much you blame Pat Day.
@@andredarin8966 I like Prized he won the BC Turf after losing to Easygoer and beating Sunday Silence over the Summer.
Hmmm the Super Derby interesting prep they allow drugs I believe?
If you think a jockey or trainer doesn’t make a difference then you should play checkers and stay away from the sport of kings…..

Anyone who was alive then and following horse racing closely knew that Easy Goer was slightly the better horse of the two. But he had some physical problems, and S.S., who was more maneuverable with better quick speed, generally got better rides when it counted.
People continue to make excuses - the debate is over - Sunday Silence PROVED, on the track, he was Easy Goer's better. Over and over again. He beat Easy Goer 3 out of 4 times. There are no excuses - Easy Goer was a nice horse who met his better.
***** What? Better is subjective, and true in the eyes of the beholder. ALL of these horses PROVED what? That they could beat another horse more than once. Better, like beauty , is true in the eyes of the beholder. Better is subjective though. Noor beat Citation 4 out of 5 times on different tracks, diff "styles". Beau Purple beat Kelso 3 out of 4 times on different tracks, diff "styles". Big Spruce beat Forego 2 out of 3 times. Wajima also beat Forego 2 out of 3 times. EG was 3-1 behind ss. Interco beat John Henry 2 out of 3 times. Mehmet also beat John Henry 2 out of 3 times on different tracks, " ". Cabrini Green also beat John Henry 4 times. Damascus beat Dr Fager 2 out of 4 times on the same track. Formal Gold beat Skip Away 4 out of 6 times on different tracks, diff. styles, in 1997, yet Skip Away won Eclipse Awards & is in HOF & in BH Top 100. Billy Kelly beat Hall of Fame Triple Crown champion Sir Barton 8 out of 12 times on different tracks, diff styles, yet Sir Barton is in HOF & in BH Top 100. Summer Squall beat Unbridled 4 out of 6 times on different tracks, diff styles, yet Unbridled won eclipse awards. Crystal beat HOF Champion Ancient Title 4 times, yet AT is in HOF & won eclipse awards. Seattle Slew romped over Affirmed 2 times in 1978, yet Aff still won HOY in 78'.

DELMARCLUB1 When it comes to this rivalry, the facts seem pretty clear - Sunday won the Derby, the Preakness, the Classic and Horse of the Year - Easy Goer won the Belmont. Sunday was also a leading sire - with get with wins exceeding over half a billion dollars, sadly, that comparison can't truly be made equally as Easy Goer died much younger than Sunday but my point is - favorite or who you prefer is something that can be argued, but who was the better RACEhorse was made pretty clear - maybe it isn't what many people wanted, but time and time again Sunday beat Easy Goer, he was the better race horse. I get Easy Goer was a popular horse, an important horse, but the slew of excuses that surround his 3 defeats to Sunday Silence are a little much - just because Sunday was the better of the TWO, doesn't take away from the great horse Easy Goer was.
***** Additionally, my comment was never meant to be a response to the first in this thread. Sorry about that.
***** That is false. Who was a better horse is absolutely subjective, and like beauty, in the eyes of the beholder. It was inches(a nose) away from being 2-2 to head to head. Then your subjective opinions must mean that all these horses/head to heads I listed, were better to you because they also CLEARLY(facts were also CLEAR) were ahead on the head to head? Noor, Beau Purple, Interco, Mehmet, Big Spruce, Wajima, Cabrini Green, Billy Kelly, Formal Gold, Damascus, Summer Squall, Bet Twice, Radar Ahead, Cutlass Reality, Pretense, Crystal Water,Akureyri,Heritage of Gold, etc were "better" to you than Citation,Kelso,John Henry,Forego,Sir Barton,Skip Away,Dr Fager,Unbridled,Alysheba,Affirmed,Ferdinand,Ancient Title,Pleasant Colony,Silverbulletday etc etc?? Head to head is ONLY one factor of many many many factors(best performances, campaigns, superiority in many races, times, records broke,weight concessions to older horses, beating older horses, body of work,overall career,etc etc etc). Better is subjective in ALL cases, including Easy Goer. You obviously see the point.
Pat wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait all Day
For a jockey who won so many races he could be extremely frustrating to bet on. He lost a lot of races by being overly patient. If I had had his horse I felt much better when he rode upfront or near the lead. I dreaded him having to come from off the pace. He would often have best horse and show up too late.
It's 2023 and Easy Goer was and will always be better than sunday silence. Easy Goer was a faster, better, greater, superior horse than sunday silence.

Easy Goer was far better & far superior. Period. EG demolished ss when they were forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs. EG was the better horse plain & simple.

Pat Day lost the race he easily SHOULD have won!!!
Why did Pat Day let Sunday Silence move to the lead on the turn ?...He was directly behind him....Instead of being a length off Sunday Silence heading into the stretch Easy Goer was 10 lengths behind...Will never understand why Pat Day waited and never made his move when Sunday Silence did with such a short stretch like Gulfstream...Closing to lose by a "neck" is always on the Jock...
not Pat's fault. EG simply couldn't run the turn like SS. McCarron even said he never worried about where EG was in relation to SS going into the turn because he'd just beat him around the turn and then beat EG to the wire. it's on video if you watch it. people will say Pat started and stopped him but he didnt the horse had to slow to get around the turn.
SS was just quicker than EG watch the Preakness

The 3-1 record means as much or as little or as all these scores mean 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; Wajima 2, Forego 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1 in the year 2014; 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. And 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 (Clenbuterol, 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 to ss. I quote the DRF for the factual truths: "Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex 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 illegal drugs, including Clenbuterol to Sunday Silence. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. 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. 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.
Some of Harthill's other favorite performance enhancing drugs that he administered were Etorphine (infinitely more powerful than aspirin bute), Banamine (50 times more powerful than aspirin bute) and Sublimaze (infinitely more powerful than aspirin bute). 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 US Drug Enforcement Administration filed suit against Alex Harthill on 102 charges of possessing and using unusual quantities of these and other drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers, and very strong amphetamines, etc. Alex Harthill and 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 was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (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 the DRF, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities. Case closed.
Cope harder. You don't lose 3 times in 4 races and can only win the race at the most unnatural distance and be the better horse. Nice storybook, though.
The Most Natural & Classic Distance for the whole world is 12f, 1 1/2m. The litmus test of a champion is winning drug-free without any drugs, & New York was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs, & also banned sunday silence's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer destroyed the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs. When forced to run drug-free without any drugs, the better horse (Easy Goer) not only wins but crushes the inferior drug-reliant horse (sunday silence). You don't win races by the slimmest of margins with the performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine & Furosemide (scientifically proven to give a 9 length performance enhancement) like sunday silence did & be the better horse. True storybook.
The better horse historically loses 3 out of 4 to the same competitor. Kelso lost 3 of 4 races to Beau Purple. The better horse historically loses 4 out of 5 to the same competitor. Citation lost 4 of 5 races to Noor. The better horse historically loses 3 out of 4 to the same competitor. Pleasant Colony lost 3 of 4 races to Akureyri. The better horse historically loses 2 out of 3 to the same competitor. Forego lost 2 of 3 races to both Big Spruce & Wajima. The better horse historically loses 4 out of 4 to the same competitor. John Henry lost 4 of 4 races to Cabrini Green. The better horse historically loses 3 out of 3 to the same competitor. John Henry lost 3 of 3 races to Darby Creek Road. The better horse historically loses 4 out of 5 to the same competitor. Shuvee lost 4 of 5 races to Gallant Bloom. The better horse historically loses 4 out of 6 to the same competitor. Skip Away lost 4 of 6 races to Formal Gold. The better horse historically loses 2 out of 4 to the same competitor. Dr Fager lost 2 of 4 races to Damascus by a combined 12 lengths. The better horse historically loses 8 out of 12 to the same competitor. Sir Barton lost 8 of 12 races to Billy Kelly. The list is endless. Nothing will change racing history that the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won 14 races drug-free without any drugs, while the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence won 0 (ZERO) races drug-free without any drugs. Easy Goer was without a doubt the much better horse on the track when they had to run without all drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & also banned Sunday Silence's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill. The TRUE DRUG-FREE HALL OF FAME CHAMPION EASY GOER was inducted in the Hall of Fame while doing it drug-free without any drugs in all of his races in his career; while the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence did it with the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug), Sublimaze (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute) & Etorphine (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute), plus the powerful performance enhancing diuretic drug Furosemide/Lasix (scientifically proven to give a 9 length performance enhancement), etc etc. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill admitted he gave the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to sunday silence to the DRF's Jay Hovdey in 2001 in 2001 DRF Hovdey article. Harthill was arrested, banned, suspended & fined numerous times in many states for giving many horses illegal performance enhancing drugs. End of story.
The only Hall of Fame inductions, Eclipse Awards, races, records & wins that count are those that were/are run drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs at all, without any drugs at all, & that is why the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer's Hall of Fame induction, Eclipse Awards, races, records, efforts, victory salutes & wins count (& Not the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence), & the legal, moral, ethical score is The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer 14 wins drug-free without any drugs, & the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant Sunday Silence 0 wins drug-free without any drugs; Easy Goer 14, SS 0; EG 1, ss 0. The TRUE DRUG-FREE HALL OF FAME CHAMPION EASY GOER earned induction in the Hall of Fame & earned Eclipse Awards while doing it drug-free without any ped drugs, without any drugs, in all of his races in his career; while the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence did it with the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug), Sublimaze (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute) & Etorphine (an extraordinarily powerful performance enhancing drug; & significantly more powerful than aspirin bute), plus the powerful performance enhancing diuretic drug Furosemide/Lasix (a study of 23,000 races proved it gives a 9 LENGTH performance enhancement, plus it reduces body weight by 16lbs to 25 pounds, & is the main drug which masks other drugs), etc etc. Harthill admitted he gave the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine to sunday silence. Harthill was arrested, banned, suspended & fined numerous times in many states for giving many horses illegal performance enhancing drugs.
During that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs, & had the most advanced out-of-competition & raceday drug testing. Plus, as importantly, NY banned the illegal criminal vet of ss Alex Harthill [arrested an endless amount of times for illegally drugging an endless amount of horses; & Harthill admitted that he illegally gave illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine, etc) to 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 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 races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. EG dusted ss when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. EG only lost by the slimmest of margins in a few races to ss because ss needed & was given the ped drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine, plus Furosemide/Lasix (a study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 9 length performance enhancement), etc etc. Easy Goer won 14 races, 12 stakes races, 9 G1 races drug-free without any drugs on all 3 sized tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized tracks) on fast, muddy & sloppy tracks at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f with much less time & rest between races & ran many more career races in faster times at all distances; while ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with ped drugs & only on small 8f sized tracks with much more time & rest between races & ran far less career races. Easy Goer was far better & far superior. Period. EG demolished ss when they were forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs. EG was the better horse plain & simple. It's the truth based on Harthill's voluntary admission to DRF Hovdey in 01, plus all of the 88-90 DRFs; 2012 NY Post article titled "The 11 horses who missed out on Triple Crown at Belmont" found on the web; DRF's Mike Watchmaker, Ed Fountaine & Paul Moran; Wikipedia articles with many reliable sources cited; 2 Claiborne books; NY Law; DRF, Bloodhorse & Thor. Record; & mounds more.
Watch this and always think Pat wait all Day horrific ride.
2002 DRF Hovdey article. You go and get it
These are proven facts and 100% Truths. 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 (Jay Hovdey of the Daily Racing Form) how he illegally gave numerous horses (including Clenbuterol to Sunday Silence) illegal performance enhancing 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.
These are proven facts and 100% Truths. The criminal vet of ss, Alex Harthill, ADMITTED to Jay Hovdey of the Daily Racing Form that he illegally administered the illegal performance enhancing bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol to ss. This admission by Harthill & his verbatim quotes are found only in the 2002 Daily Racing Form print/newspaper versions, however numerous books & articles on the web mention/reference small parts of the 2002 DRF Hovdey article & Alex Harthill's illegal Clenbuterol introduction in the 1980's & usage on ss. Besides these facts and truths, more facts and truths were back in those days New York was the ONLY state in the entire country at the time which banned ALL drugs. So ss was FORCED to run drug-free with no drugs at all only one time in one race. 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 & painkillers were listed. 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.
@@sigscorpion9275 This is NOT hearsay, this is the complete OPPOSITE of hearsay. When the criminal cheater 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 criminal cheater 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.

The litmus test of a champion is winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs at all, and the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer Obliterated the drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs (and, as importantly, also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well). The drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence got obliterated when he couldn't get all of his performance enhancing drugs from his illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs (and also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well). Talk about a horse that needed to bring his illegal performance enhancing drugs and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill with him - ss is just that horse, a drug-reliant horse, an illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant horse! The drug-reliant & illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence NEEDED EVERYTHING in his favor to beat the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins in a few races. The drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence LOST 4 RACES on larger tracks with circumferences bigger than a mile (including ss having a LOSING RECORD while LOSING 3 races at his larger HOME track at the bigger circumferenced Hollywood Park oval). Talk about a horse that needed to bring his track with him, ss is just that horse! Meanwhile, the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won Drug-free G1's at 7f, 1 mile, 1 1/8m, 1 1/4m & 1 1/2m on all 3 sized tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized tracks) drug-free with much less rest and time between races and ran far more races with faster times at all distances and ran far superior speed figures and far superior performance ratings; while the drug-dependent and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence only won G1's with performance enhancing drugs and his illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill only at 9f to 10f only with performance enhancing drugs and only on small 8f sized tracks and with much more rest and time between races and ran far less races even with performance enhancing drugs.

1989 HOY and the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Sunday Silence will always be the Drug-Free Test of the Champion (The Classic Distance for the whole world) winner; the most coveted prize is being the 1989 Horse of the year and Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion in the Hall of Fame and beat Easy Goer 3 out of 4 times.
Day was a very successful, HOF jockey. No denying it. But IMO his patented style wasn't a great fit for Easy Goer. Sure, Easy Goer was so immensely & phenomenally talented, he was going to win many races super impressively no matter who rode him.There are interviews also where Day & Mcgaughey state he did make errors in both the Classic & Preakness, as well as a few of his wins(not just losses) also. Pat Day took more abuse than any other jockey(rightfully so IMO) from trainers, experts, fans and the press. Pat Day's comments may be contradicting, but his riding was also contradicting. Article in the Daily News- "Pat Day is a maze of contradictions. He rides slowly, patiently, serenely and cautiously in a world where everybody, especially jockeys, do not. After a brutal, way too patient ride on Seeking the Gold in the 1988 Travers, Day almost ran into the stands at irate fans who were wondering(many times) what he was waiting for. The clock in his head was a sundial on his ride on Java Gold in the 87' Jockey Club." Day also wasn't a good gate rider at all. When a huge, behemoth of a horse has huge momentum, just go Pat, don't grab up & take up & wait for your rival.
Pat Day's admitted major errors in his riding of stop go, go stop, stop go, go wait, cost the better horse Big Easy, who could blow by and explode & catapult by ss. Easy Goer would be exploding in full stride, in full flame, in best stride, screaming to run and then be geared down, eased up taken in hand, into his stop-go, go stop, go wait. Inexcusable and Day knew it, and still knows it and states it.
The better horse won 3 of the 4 meetings...
EASYGOERFLIES The Drug-free Easy Goer was far superior to the drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence!! Noor beat Citation 4 out of 5 meetings. Citation was the better horse. Beau Purple beat Kelso 3 out of 4 meetings. Kelso was the better horse. Ditto Akureyri 3 out of 4 over Pleasant Colony. Ditto Formal Gold 4 out of 6 over Skip Away. Ditto Gallant Bloom 4 out of 5 over Shuvee. Ditto Easy Goer sunday silence. Plus an endless amount of others. Means as much or as little as all of them. I quote the DRF for the truth: "Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex Harthill ADMITTED illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. In DRF articles in recent years and in the last few years of his life, Sunday Silence'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 and illegally administered it to Sunday Silence, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects." The drug-free Easy Goer won G1's at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f and 12f running many more races with much less rest and time between races; beat older horses numerous times while conceding weight; Easy Goer generally ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances; Easy Goer more often ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances; ran far faster speed figures at all distances. The drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence needed the cheater doper vet Alex Harthill and the drug Clenbuterol to win by the slimmest of margins; only won G1's at 9f to 10f with much more rest and time between races; generally ran slower times than Easy Goer at all distances; more often ran slower times than Easy Goer at all distances.; ran far slower speed figures at all distances. The drug-free Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes proved without a doubt who was best by far because New York was the only racing state in the entire country at the time which banned all raceday performance enhancing drugs; and as importantly, NY also banned the crooked, corrupt, blatant cheater veterinarian of the drug-dependent Sunday Silence, Alex Harthill. ONLY drug-free (and Harthill-free) races kept and keep the outcomes crystal clear. ONLY drug-free (and Harthill-free) races are championship races; & the litmus test of a champion is running & winning drug-free (and Harthill-free) without any raceday performance enhancing drugs or Harthill. Only the drug-free (and Harthill-free) races can be called championship races. No-drug (and No-Harthill) races are the only true tests of champions. And it proved Easy Goer was without a doubt best by far when drug-free New York prohibited the blatant cheater vet Harthill from performing his magic on SS in NY in that SS not only got romped by Easy Goer, but SS barely beat Le Voyageur (a horse who never won one stake race in his entire career) to boot. Raceday performance enhancing drugs (and lack thereof) are much more than enough of an advantage or disadvantage TO DECIDE EVERY (INCLUDING EG & SS) Triple Crown & Breeders' Cup race & almost all other races for that matter. The secret to the success of SS was the magic man vet Alex Harthill. "Alex Harthill ADMITTED illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances.

@@traviswest9388 only time your cupcake could win was when it was 12F lol, how pathetic. That's not a classic race distance. Keep talking about drugs, cite me any positive illegal tests for Sunday Silence please... I'll wait.
@@traviswest9388 you sound so upset you bring up a bunch of BS. Better horse is opinionated, yet you try to make it sound like a fact lol. Bye loser, just like Easy Goer.
EASYGOERFLIES Bye pathetic loser, just like the drug-dependent and cheater doper vet alex harthill dependent and cupcake loser sunday silence. The only time the drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill dependent and cupcake loser ss could win by the slimmest of margins over the drug free Easy Goer were with all of his performance enhancing drugs juices being administered to him. Forced to run Without all of his ped drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, ss got romped like a black-haired step child by the drug-free Easy Goer. Distances? 12f still is the Classic Distance for the whole entire world and the true test of a champion. More distances? Drug-free Easy Goer won G1 races at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f and 12f drug-free with much less rest and time between races at more fluctuating, different distances; while the drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent and cupcake loser ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with much more rest and time between races and while needing all of his ped drugs. The Drug-free Easy Goer was far superior to the drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence!! Noor beat Citation 4 out of 5 meetings. Citation was the better horse. Beau Purple beat Kelso 3 out of 4 meetings. Kelso was the better horse. Ditto Akureyri 3 out of 4 over Pleasant Colony. Ditto Formal Gold 4 out of 6 over Skip Away. Ditto Gallant Bloom 4 out of 5 over Shuvee. Ditto Easy Goer sunday silence. Plus an endless amount of others. Means as much or as little as all of them. I quote the DRF for the truth: "Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex Harthill ADMITTED illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. In DRF articles in recent years and in the last few years of his life, Sunday Silence'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 and illegally administered it to Sunday Silence, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. New York was the only state in the whole country at the time who had tests for clenbuterol. While clenbuterol was not legal in all of the other states, they didn't test for it because they have tests for it." The drug-free Easy Goer won G1's at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f and 12f running many more races with much less rest and time between races; beat older horses numerous times while conceding weight; Easy Goer generally ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances; Easy Goer more often ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances; ran far faster speed figures at all distances. The drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence needed the cheater doper vet Alex Harthill and the drug Clenbuterol to win by the slimmest of margins; only won G1's at 9f to 10f with much more rest and time between races; generally ran slower times than Easy Goer at all distances; more often ran slower times than Easy Goer at all distances.; ran far slower speed figures at all distances. The drug-free Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes proved without a doubt who was best by far because New York was the only racing state in the entire country at the time which banned all raceday performance enhancing drugs; and as importantly, NY also banned the crooked, corrupt, blatant cheater veterinarian of the drug-dependent Sunday Silence, Alex Harthill. ONLY drug-free (and Harthill-free) races kept and keep the outcomes crystal clear. ONLY drug-free (and Harthill-free) races are championship races; & the litmus test of a champion is running & winning drug-free (and Harthill-free) without any raceday performance enhancing drugs or Harthill. Only the drug-free (and Harthill-free) races can be called championship races. No-drug (and No-Harthill) races are the only true tests of champions. And it proved Easy Goer was without a doubt best by far when drug-free New York prohibited the blatant cheater vet Harthill from performing his magic on SS in NY in that SS not only got romped by Easy Goer, but SS barely beat Le Voyageur (a horse who never won one stake race in his entire career) to boot. Raceday performance enhancing drugs (and lack thereof) are much more than enough of an advantage or disadvantage TO DECIDE EVERY (INCLUDING EG & SS) Triple Crown & Breeders' Cup race & almost all other races for that matter. The secret to the success of SS was the magic man vet Alex Harthill. "Alex Harthill ADMITTED illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances.

"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. Sunday Silence had been TREATED WITH DRUGS, NOTABLY THE PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG FUROSEMIDE, in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders' Cup Classic when narrowly 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 & debates 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." Paul Moran of DRF, News-day & LA Times. Furosemide/Lasix is a potent performance enhancing drug which masks & flushes other banned drugs, plus it reduces body weight by 16 to 25lbs & many studies show Furosemide/Lasix gives a significant 6 to 9 length performance enhancement. Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill also ADMITTED to giving sunday silence the immensely effective performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze, who benefited immeasurably by all of their incredibly effective performance enhancing effects.
Pat Day MADE Big Mistakes in this race when Easy Goer could have won and won easily. He Made it a close one when EG could have won & won convincingly. He Made a mess of things, and he Put him in big holes with his multiple mistakes.
+DELMARCLUB1 Pandering to the New Yorkers, are we?
+DELMARCLUB1 Nothing unusual at all about that though. Many of Pat Day's bad bad rides were no doubt Ron Franklin - esque.
Indeed. Easy Goer is in with some great company with so many other greats who were behind or tied in head-to-head scoreboards. Kelso lost 3 of 4 to Beau Purple. Citation lost 4 of 5 to Noor. Forego lost 2 of 3 to Big Spruce. Dr Fager lost 2 of 4 to Damascus. John Henry lost 4 of 4 to Cabrini Green. John Henry lost 3 of 3 to Darby Creek Road. Skip Away lost 4 of 6 to Formal Gold. Sir Barton lost 8 of 12 to Billy Kelly. Shuvee lost 4 of 5 to Gallant Bloom. Pleasant Colony lost 3 of 4 to Akureyri. And an endless amount more. Who's better is totally subjective, and there are an endless amount of other factors; and even after those endless amount of other factors are factored in, who's better is totally subjective. Easy Goer was a better horse than SS. Pat V and McCarron were better jockeys than Pat Day. And the master trainer Whittingham was a better trainer than McGaughey. Day and McGaughey both admit their was many rider mistakes and jockey errors made. Day self admits it. McGaughey made just as many mistakes and errors, not only training-wise, but by leaving Day on even after he admitted and criticized Day's riding errors and mistakes.
Trrrrrrrrrravis!!!!
Better Better in any way is totally subjective. There was the Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes (the classic distance for the whole world) where Easy Goer destroyed him in the only state in the entire country during that era that banned all drugs & medications. Balanced against that are two wins by Sunday Silence against Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins, and a total of 3 wins which SS won by a combined margin of less than two and three-quarter lengths. So SS held the slight 3-1 edge against EG with 3 wins coming in close wins and a loss in which he was destroyed. Easy Goer also ran the record mile one full second faster than Secretariat's record. Easy Goer also ran a better, faster Ragozin speed figure than Secretariat did in their respective Belmont Stakes. Easy Goer also ran some of the greatest, fastest all timer performances at every distance he ran - 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Easy Goer generally ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances. Easy Goer more often ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances, including many outstanding, perennial all timer performances at every distance - 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Sunday Silence lost 36% of his races, mostly to lesser horses including Houston, Prized, Criminal Type, and Cro Lover. Better in any way is totally subjective. 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 MINUSCULE 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). 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, including 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.
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. 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.
Pat Day was the WORST jockey they could give Easy Goer. You put Angel Cordero on him and you have a Triple Crown winner.
I think Sunday Silence would have won the Kentucky Derby anyway.
but the Preakness & Classic loss was totally on Pat Day.
Pat Day's take off full of run, then ease up, grab a hold, gear down, start stop stop start, confusing, commit then un commit riding cost the better & faster horse(2nd fastest ranked all time on stats) by a snout & despairing neck in a few races
The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion was Easy Goer. The True Drug-Free Eclipse Award Champion was Easy Goer. The Drug-Free Test of the Champion is the Belmont Stakes. The Classic Distance for the whole world is 1 1/2m - 12f. The most coveted honor & prize is being inducted in the Hall of Fame, & Easy Goer did it drug-free without any drugs. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer 14 wins drug-free without any drugs, SS 0 wins drug-free without any drugs. EG 14, ss 0; EG 1, ss 0. Easy Goer 14, SS 0 is the legal, moral, ethical score & the only one that counts legally, morally & ethically, & is in the legal, moral, ethical record books. The only records that count & the only ones in the record books are those that were/are run drug-free without any drugs, & that is why the legal, moral, ethical score is Easy Goer 14, SS 0. The 3-1 (done ILLEGALLY by the narrowest of margins by ss) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others. It was all done ILLEGALLY by ss by the slimmest of margins - 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. 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, NY 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 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 races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs 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). 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 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 forever.
The best race call EVER. The stretch was a classic.
1989 Breeders Cup Classic the best race of all time
That finishing call by DJ is still my favorite of all time. Gives me chills:
“Sunday silence surges to the front”
“one final acceleration!”
“and he wins by a desperate neck”
“too late, not enough to win it!”
Yes truly “A RACING EPIC!”
Pat Day got Easy Goer beat twice with bad rides by a great rider
Just a reminder of the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer being hand-ridden with humongous, powerful, catapulting, blistering, record-breaking speed combined with genuinely brilliant stamina in Command in front by 8 lengths with the drug-dependent & criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence (ss's legs completely melted without all of his ped drugs) getting ferociously beaten up by the whip & badly beaten, indeed crushed, destroyed & demolished in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs. In the Test of the Champion drug-free Belmont Stakes the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer being hand-ridden all the way obliterating the drug-dependent ss by 8 widening lengths with ss getting vigorously beaten by the whip & barely beating Le Voyageur (a horse who never even won 1 stake race his whole career) because ss couldn't get all of his much needed ped drugs administered to him by his cheater doper juicer criminal vet Alex Harthill in the only state in the entire USA at the time which banned all drugs (& as importantly, also banned his cheater doper juicer criminal vet Alex Harthill)Just a reminder 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 (ss even had old
rubber legs even with all of his ped drugs; without his ped drugs ss got d6estroyed & ss had completely melted legs). Just a reminder that 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 heart-filled drug-free wheat separating from heart-less drugged chaff, the heart-filled 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; and 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. The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse than the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian 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. And most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illicit, illegal performance enhancing drugs to s.s. 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. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances, & 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, & 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, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & illegally doping horses with drugs. The
drugs were & are so potent that their use or nonuse dramatically
alters horse's performances (including SS). 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. Just a reminder.
The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion is Easy Goer. The Drug-free Eclipse Award Champion & Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer will always be the True 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. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer's career accomplishments and body of work were far superior to the drug-reliant and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence. The litmus test of a champion is winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs at all, and the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer Obliterated the drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs (and, as importantly, also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well; Harthill was 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-dependent horses like ss; and these horses, like ss and 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. Only No-drug drug-free races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drug drug-free races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. And, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs to ss; but he couldn't do so in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs and banned Alex Harthill as well. The drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence got obliterated when he couldn't get all of his performance enhancing drugs from his illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs (and also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well). Talk about a horse that needed to bring his illegal performance enhancing drugs and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill with him - ss is just that horse, a drug-reliant horse, an illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant horse! The drug-reliant & illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence NEEDED EVERYTHING in his favor to beat the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins in a few races. The drug-dependent and illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence LOST 4 RACES on larger tracks with circumferences bigger than a mile (including ss having a LOSING RECORD while LOSING 3 races at his larger HOME track at the bigger circumferenced Hollywood Park track). Talk about a horse that needed to bring his track with him, ss is just that horse! Meanwhile, the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won Drug-free G1's at 7f, 1 mile, 1 1/8m, 1 1/4m & 1 1/2m on all 3 sized tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized tracks) drug-free with much less rest and time between races and ran far more races with faster times at all distances and ran far superior speed figures and far superior performance ratings; while the drug-dependent and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence only won G1's with performance enhancing drugs and his illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill and only at 9f to 10f only with performance enhancing drugs and only on small 8f sized tracks and with much more rest and time between races and ran far less races even with performance enhancing drugs. Talk about a horse that needed to bring his illegal performance enhancing drugs and illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill with him - ss is just that horse, a drug-reliant horse, an illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant horse! Talk about a horse that needed to bring his one sized small 8f track with him, ss is just that horse.
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.
Jockey error for easy goer
Pat Day made huge mistakes in this race that made it a close one when Easy Goer could have won and won easily. IMO if a different jockey had been on him like Jerry Bailey, Laffit Pincay Jr, Angel Cordero Jr, Gary Stevens or Chris McCarron, Easy Goer could have won and won easily and convincingly. There should be no problem at all with a statement like this because this is the way you state things. I happen to qualify my opinions in this comment here. However, nobody has to qualify their opinions and arguments.
Coulda woulda shoulda . . . Sunday Silence won. Easy Goer lost. Get over it. The only time Easy Goer got him was at the 1 1/2 mile distance on home track. 1 1/2 miles is like another sport. Make Sunday Silence 3-0 at normal distances.
DELMARCLUB1 True. Pat ron franklin esque Day calls himself worse than a clown. Day said, "It was a terrible ride and totally my fault. I HAD MORE HORSE THAN I KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH. It was absolutely rider error. I got him beat. I got hammered pretty good, and I'm the first to say that it wasn't unwarranted. P Val also carried me out extremely wide to the parking lot down the backstretch; then he kept pushing and banging me and trapped me in extremely tight on the dead rail from the far turn thru the entire stretch. Then EG was running sideways with the lead deep in the homestretch with his head and part of his body turned while having his momentum/stride and rhythm disrupted badly. [In the Test of the Champion drug-free medication-free Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed him; like wheat separating from chaff, the cream rose to the top.] I've always believed and I'll continue to believe that Easy Goer was a better horse than Sunday Silence. I've said it before and I'll always say it, I think Easy Goer was better than Sunday Silence, despite his slight 3-1 edge in the head to head races. I'll go to my grave believing that. We lost two photos to him and the one in the Preakness absolutely was due to rider error on my part, and my ride wasn't the best in the Classic. I was on the better horse." As if Pat ron franklin esque Day's accomplishments mean something? Pat wait all Day's accomplishments mean that Pat start stop start stop delay Day couldn't ride bad and make numerous riding errors on Forty Niner, Easy Goer, Seeking the Gold, Sky Classic, Turkoman, Heavenly Prize, Rampage, Timber Country, Menifee, Surfside, Java Gold, etc? Of course not. Sure Day won big races. But Day was a big fish in a small pond because the majority of his wins and all of his riding titles were in the Midwest when facing much lower minor league level jockey competition on a daily basis. Day NEVER won ONE, not even ONE, riding title when facing the best jockey competition on a daily basis in California, New York or Florida (winter). And Day regularly rode the entire meets at Saratoga and the winters in Florida. Cordero won 13 riding titles at Saratoga, Day won zero, and Day rode there every year for the full meets. I suppose other jockey's accomplishments mean something also. Cordero won 3 Derby's, Shoemaker won 5 Derby's, Hartack won 4 or 5 Derby's. Cordero, Shoemaker, Arcaro, Hartack, McCarron, Bailey, Stevens, Borel, Victor Espinoza, Chris Antley, Kent Desormeaux, Mike Smith, Delahoussaye, Jacinto Vasquez, Jorge Velazquez, John Velazquez, Mario Guitierrez, and numerous other jockeys won MORE Kentucky Derby's than Pat Day. Day's record in the Derby was a dismal 1 for 22, and even worse because that was where he was based. Day only won the ONE Derby because that year AP Indy was forced to scratch with a foot injury, and Arazi went into that Derby off of double knee surgery and a whopping one prep race at a mile on grass in Europe; someone had to win the race. Breeders' Cup wins? Well, Mike Smith (26 wins), Jerry Bailey (15 wins), John Velazquez (15 wins each) and Garrett Gomez (13 wins) all won more BC's than Day.
McGaughey also said, "Pat Day and I agree that he made riding mistakes in the Preakness. We had Sunday Silence beat and Day let him back in the race. In the other races, there were circumstances that contributed to what happened. In the Preakness, Day got to the lead then he remembered he was Pat Day. And when he FOLDED up on the turn, he allowed SS back in the race. He got the lead, and then he gave it back. He basically did the same thing in the Classic. In the Classic, when Day grabbed him after the start, maybe the horse didn't understand what he was doing. Then Day was content to sit and wait behind Sunday Silence, as DAY HAD DONE BEFORE, and the other horse got away from us, and we just missed and fell just a stride or so short. In my heart, I think Easy Goer is the better horse than Sunday Silence."
Better or best is definitely subjective, but having acknowledged that; take nothing away from Sunday Silence as he was a great horse, but Easy Goer was a superior, greater, better, stronger and faster horse; Pat Valenzuela and Chris McCarron were better jockeys than Pat ron franklin-esque Day; and the master trainer Charlie the Bald Eagle Whittingham was a better trainer than Claude Shug McGaughey. Easy Goer's jockey and trainer, Pat ron franklin esque Day and the most conservative anti-speed McGaughey, were both pitiful. McGaughey was and is the most conservative trainer of all-time who rarely trained his horses for speed, no matter how much big-time brilliant speed a horse like Easy Goer possessed. Pat ron franklin esque Day was the most tentative, passive, conservative, start-stop, wait go wait go wait, yield idle go yield go yield idle, fold up move fold up move fold up rider of all-time. Many of Pat Ron Franklin esque Day's rides on Easy Goer, Forty Niner, Seeking the Gold, Sky Classic, Turkoman, Heavenly Prize, Rampage, Timber Country, Menifee, Surfside, Java Gold, etc were Ron Franklin - esque! Pat ron franklin esque Day, aka Pat start stop start stop Day, aka Pat wait go wait go wait go wait Day, aka Pat yield idle go yield idle go yield idle wait Day, aka Pat fold up move fold up move fold up Day, was pitiful. Pat ron franklin esque Day (aka Pat start stop start stop Day, aka Pat wait go wait go wait go wait Day, aka Pat yield idle go yield idle go yield idle wait Day, aka Pat fold up move fold up move fold up Day) was riding a Ferrari in Easy Goer. But, Pat ron franklin esque Day rode Easy Goer -- and many other horses -- like a teenager at the wheels of a Ferrari. Pat ron franklin esque Day never came to terms with the immense power and big-time speed at his disposal and how and when to use it. Go yield idle go, go yield idle go, go wait go wait go wait, fold up move, fold up move fold up, inside, outside, back inside, back outside.
Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill told all how & why the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the slimmest of margins in a few races. Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself." The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer cremated the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. "Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work. Harthill Discloses He Administered Forbidden Performance-Enhancing Drugs To Many American Classic Winners In The Kentucky Derby, Preakness And Breeders' Cup Classic." How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE.

Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill said, 'I (Harthill) was used for horses (Sunday Silence, etc) pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses (Sunday Silence, etc) I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won. You can only revere the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself. By doing so, I acknowledge that I effectively stole a large amount of money in my career, & cheated many other horses, trainers, owners & riders I competed against. Nonetheless, I consider my extensive doping as a mark of pride.' " Case closed.
Love all the Easy Goer fans blaming Day for riding the way he always did.
Easy goer, like all shug horses, was a hanger!!

That's like saying Citation was a great horse until he went against Noor. Noor won 4 out of 5 races vs Citation. That's like saying Kelso was a great horse until he went against Beau Purple. Beau Purple won 3 out of 4 races vs Kelso. That's like saying Dr. Fager was a great horse until he went against Damascus. Damascus beat Dr. Fager in 2 of 4 races by a combined 12 & a half lengths. That's like saying Round Table was a great horse until he went up against Gallant Man. Gallant Man won 3 of 3 races vs Round Table. That's like saying Round Table was a great horse until he went up against Sword Dancer. Sword Dancer won 2 out of 2 races vs Round Table.

That's like saying Sir Barton was a great horse until he went up against Billy Kelly. Billy Kelly won 8 of 12 races vs Sir Barton. That's like saying Unbridled was a great horse until he went up against Summer Squall. Summer Squall won 4 of 6 races vs Unbridled. There are many more. The list is gigantic.

The Litmus Test of a Champion is running & winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs, without any drugs; & during that era NY was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs with a zero tolerance policy - zero amount of any drugs allowed w/o having to quibble about even tiny amounts. Plus, as importantly, NY banned the illegal criminal vet of ss Alex Harthill. 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 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 races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer crushed the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence by a far bigger margin in drug-free New York than he did all those other accomplished horses in drug-free NY; all because the overrated sunday silence was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs, & also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. When ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs & without his banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well, ss not only got crushed by the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer, but ss barely beat the claimer Le Voyageur. Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitted to DRF's Jay Hovdey in 2001 that he gave ss the remarkably effective performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine in the 1989 KY Derby, Preakness & BC Classic & still only beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the slimmest of margins. SS also was given the remarkably effective performance-enhancing drug Furosemide (a scientific study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 9 length performance enhancement). The end.

The drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence just didn't have the will to win/guts that the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer did. When push came to shove, the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence not only failed against the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer when forced to run drug-free without any drugs (& when forced to run without his banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well), but the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence got cremated by the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer. Deal with it. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer crushed the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence all because sunday silence was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs, & also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well.

The Litmus Test of a Champion is running & winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs, without any drugs; & during that era NY was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs with a zero tolerance policy - zero amount of any drugs allowed w/o having to quibble about even tiny amounts.

Easy Goer was drifting in on his left lead while Pat continued pounding him right-handed.
Watch when he finally taps him on the left in mid-stretch. Focus on his eyes. It's like the Ritalin just kicked in.
With Baffert and Smith Easy Goer wins all these races. TACTICAL SPEED. Two words who's meaning Shug could never grasp.
To this day I've never seen a horse continually waltz out of the gate and then blitz down the backstretch only to stop and chill like the race is over
before being asked to kick in again when you're either boxed in down at the rail or galloping on your left lead.
Easy Goer was an insanely fast horse with plenty of gas. Get him out of the gate and in stalking position and he never loses.
Greatest racehorse of my lifetime. I was born in 1974.
Agree 1977
sorry to hear when it came to SS EG he was just a follower
michael yusko So true micheal yusko. the Truth is The DRUG-FREE EASY GOER was the daddy over the follower and drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence!! The Drug-free Easy Goer was far superior to the drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence!! Noor beat Citation 4 out of 5. Beau Purple beat Kelso 3 out of 4. Ditto Akureyri 3 out of 4 over Pleasant Colony. Ditto Formal Gold 4 out of 6 over Skip Away. Ditto Gallant Bloom 4 out of 5 over Shuvee. Plus and endless amount of others. Means as much or as little as all of them. I quote the DRF for the truth: "Sunday Silence's veterinarian Alex Harthill ADMITTED illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. In DRF articles in recent years and in the last few years of his life, Sunday Silence'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 and illegally administered it to Sunday Silence, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects." The drug-free Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes proved without a doubt who was best by far because New York was the only racing state in the entire country at the time which banned all raceday performance enhancing drugs; and as importantly, NY also banned the crooked, corrupt, blatant cheater veterinarian of the drug-dependent Sunday Silence, Alex Harthill. ONLY drug-free (and Harthill-free) races kept and keep the outcomes crystal clear. ONLY drug-free (and Harthill-free) races are championship races; & the litmus test of a champion is running & winning drug-free (and Harthill-free) without any raceday performance enhancing drugs or Harthill. Only the drug-free (and Harthill-free) races can be called championship races. No-drug (and No-Harthill) races are the only true tests of champions. And it proved Easy Goer was without a doubt best by far when drug-free New York prohibited the blatant cheater vet Harthill from performing his magic on SS in NY in that SS not only got romped by Easy Goer, but SS barely beat Le Voyageur (a horse who never won one stake race in his entire career) to boot. Raceday performance enhancing drugs (and lack thereof) are much more than enough of an advantage or disadvantage TO DECIDE EVERY (INCLUDING EG & SS) Triple Crown & Breeders' Cup race & almost all other races for that matter. The secret to the success of SS was the magic man vet Alex Harthill. "Alex Harthill ADMITTED illegally breaking the laws in enhancing his horses performances. In DRF articles in recent years, Harthill ADMITTED he illegally administered powerful diuretics, which were banned at the time, to Northern Dancer before the colt won the 1964 Derby; and 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. In no other major professional sport does an owner, manager, coach, trainer or doctor have the ability to directly affect the outcomes of events, as did the cheater doper vet Alex Harthill. 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 introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing bronchodilator 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 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 Sublimaze (infinitely more powerful than the aspirin-like bute), Etorphine (infinitely more powerful than the aspirin-like bute), Banamine (5 times more powerful than the aspirin-like bute). The drugs Sublimaze and Etorphine were and are drugs that gives horses such a sense of euphoria and well-being that they feel like they don’t have legs.'
"Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill knew more about cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history. Among numerous drugs the drugs Sublimaze, Clenbuterol, and Etorphine were among Harthill's favorite magic-making drugs. The secret to the success' of drug-dependent horses are race-day performance enhancing drugs and Harthill. Harthill and raceday 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, 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 several-length lead in the race to discover drugs that would significantly move up racehorses, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. No matter where the drugs were made, Harthill was right on it. Day or night, if you called Harthill for drugs, he was there for you. 'Harthill didn't live by the rules,' his friend Gary Priest admitted, who ran a surgical practice with Harthill. The drugs were and are so potent that their use or nonuse dramatically alters horse's performances (including SS). Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill knew more about cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history. The truth!
He was incapable of stalking any true speed horse. It only looked like he was taking a breather because the speed drew away from him easily. He loses this race to Blushing John if Sunday doesn't run.
michael yusko Very true. The drug-dependent and cheater juicer doper criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence LOSES EVERY race (even to LE VOYAGEUR, Prized [another drug-dependent horse whom EG beat by 25 lengths], Houston, Cro Lover, Criminal Type, Blushing John [another drug-dependent horse], Stylish Winner, etc, not only to the drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by 8 lengths). The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer had blazing front running speed at every distance as EG went wire to wire running blazing early fractions in 10f Suburban & 8f Champagne, won on the lead in both 9f Wood Memorial and 12f Jockey Club Gold Cup, stalked up very close to the lead running blazing fractions in the record breaking 8f Gotham, 2nd Fastest Belmont Stakes of all time at 12f, 10f Travers, 9f Whitney, 7f Cowdin & was right with the drug-dependent ss the entire races in the Belmont Stakes and Preakness. The only horse who got his ass kicked, crushed, humiliated, dominated, demolished, ownded and passed with ease was the drug-dependent (administered the incredibly effective powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol) and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence who got ass kicked, crushed, humiliated, dominated, demolished, owned and passed with ease by the drug-free Easy Goer. The drug-dependent and cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence not only got humiliated by the drug-free Easy Goer (while barely beating the awful Le Voyageur because ss couldn't get all of his ped drugs. The only horse who got his ass kicked, owned, dominated and passed with ease (almost 4x to over 8x times greater an ass kicking and being owned) in ANY of their races was the drug-dependent/cheater doper vet alex harthill dependent sunday silence by the true, authentic drug-free Hall of Fame champion Easy Goer in the Test of the Champion in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs. The drug-free Hall of Fame champion EG whipped the drug-dependent/cheater doper vet alex harthill dependent ss BY a MUCH BIGGER MARGIN than he did almost all of his other foes. Y? B/c the drug dependent/cheater doper vet alex harthill dependent ss couldn't get all of his ped drugs (Clenbuterol, etc) when running in the Test of a Champion in the only state at the time which banned all drugs, & that was a true, authentic account of what ss was as a horse. Even with all of his ped drugs (which ss certainly NEEDED), the drug dependent ss barely beat the drug-free EG by the narrowest of margins in a few races, while losing a few by the slimmest of margins even with the drug-free EG having major trouble in the races (cut off badly by both Northern Wolf [his 1 eyed jock got a 10 day suspension for it], & Dansil later in the Derby; in the Preakness purposely & deviously forced out 10 wide by Valenzuela on backside while passing him totally legally to go head & head with the sprinter Houston (another pathetic horse who beat ss) & did so without cutting ss off or shutting him off [Even ss's owner admitted this] & having to run a huge, early blazing 21 & change monster backstretch run, had the awful Pat ron franklin esque Day continue his awful start stop start stop riding, got pushed & banged purposely & deviously by Valenzuela in as tight as can be on the dead rail from the far turn thru the entire stretch scraping the rail, still would have won but had his head turned by Pat Ron Franklin esque Day with the lead in deep stretch; & in both the Preakness & Classic with Pat Ron Franklin esque Day's terribly tentative error filled start stop start stop awful riding putting out the fire of a splendid drug-free Hall of Fame champion in full flame in both races); & with ss needing all of his ped drugs to do so only by the slimmest of margins. The only true, authentic account of what horses are as horses were/are when they were/are forced to run completely drug-free without any drugs; & everyone saw clearly what ss was when forced to run completely drug free without any drugs as he not only got his ass kicked, dominated, whipped & owned by the drug free EG, he was life/death to barely beat the awful le voyageur. The drug-dependent/cheater doper vet Alex Harthill dependent ss got dominated, whipped & owned in all of his races without all of his ped drugs, & lost most of his races (lost 4 of 6) on larger tracks with a bigger circumference larger than a mile.
It means as much or as little as all the scoreboards always reading (and never forgetting) 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; & an endless amount more. In the Test of the Champion drug-free Belmont Stakes Easy Goer killed s.s; like heart-filled drug-free wheat separating from heart-less drugged chaff, the heart-filled 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 & corrupt criminal juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. 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 didn't allow the magic man corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian of s.s. 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 & magic man corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. 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 s.s.; & these horses, like ss & many others, got exposed badly when they were forced to run drug-less with no-drugs at all. Never forget. ONLY no-drugs drug-less races were/are true championship races. Only the drug-less 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. Never forget. 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 & corrupt crooked criminal crook juicer doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-reliant s.s. In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the narrowest of margins to the drug-reliant s.s., s.s. 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 & running many more races at more fluctuating, different distances in faster times with far superior speed figures & performance ratings; while the drug-reliant s.s. only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with his ped drugs & much more time & rest between races & running far less races. & most importantly, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illicit, illegal performance enhancing drugs to s.s. 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, SS'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 performed miracles for horses with major enhancements in performance. 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 with major enhancements in performance. The U.S. DEA filed suit against Harthill on 102 charges of possessing & using unusual quantities of drugs, such as the powerful performance enhancing bronchodilator Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers & very strong amphetamines, etc. Harthill was arrested many times (Ky, Ill, La, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. Ss's vet Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history." Besides Harthill admitting it, there is the CERTAINTY of MOUNDS of more evidence regarding Harthill's illegalities.
"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. Sunday Silence had been TREATED WITH DRUGS, NOTABLY THE PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG FUROSEMIDE, in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders' Cup Classic when narrowly edging Easy Goer, but couldn't for the Belmont Stakes in New York, the one state where all drugs are banned. 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, NOTABLY THE PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG FUROSEMIDE, in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders' Cup Classic when narrowly 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." LA Times December 1989. Furosemide/Lasix is a potent performance enhancing drug which masks & flushes other banned drugs, plus it reduces body weight by 16 to 25lbs & many studies show Furosemide/Lasix gives a significant 9 length performance enhancement. Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill also ADMITTED to giving sunday silence the immensely effective performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze in the 1989 Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders Cup Classic; Sunday Silence benefited immeasurably by all of their incredibly effective performance enhancing effects & still only won by the narrowest of margins. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was better than the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer crushed the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs & without his banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. New York was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs, & also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. Enough said.
Pat Day said, "It ran through my mind that I might lose the mount on
Easy Goer after the Preakness. But then I shared some thoughts--I won't
tell you what--with Shug and I felt better. I've always believed and
I'll continue to believe that Easy Goer was a better horse than Sunday
Silence. I've said it before and I'll always say it, I think Easy Goer
was better than Sunday Silence, despite his slight edge in the head to
head races. I'll go to my grave believing that. We lost two photos to
him and the one in the Preakness was absolutely due to a rider error on
my part, and my ride wasn't the best in the Classic."
Shug McGaughey said, "I asked Day to ride Easy Goer for a few reasons,
even though my No. 1 and No. 2 riders at the time were Angel Cordero and
Randy Romero. One reason was, despite Easy Goer's superior breeding,
his GI winning full sister Cadillacing who I also trained, was more of a
one-run late-running sprinter. I had two aggressive jockeys ride her,
both Randy Romero and Angel Cordero. Cordero, who was her main rider,
was given proper instructions and knew her well. Cordero also rode their
mother, champion Relaxing, who was trained by Penna. I'm going along
with Easy Goer thinking he may only be a one-run late-running sprinter
like his full sister Cadillacing. It turned out Easy Goer could run
every distance brilliantly and do it in a variety of ways, and he had
many runs in him. But I originally thought Day would be more patient on
him than Cordero or Romero. I thought Cordero or Romero would be too
aggressive of a rider on him. That's one reason why I chose Day."
McGaughey, later after the Preakness, is quoted as saying, "I just want
Day to be aggressive and, if it comes down to a mistake deciding the
race, force the other rider into the mistake. I can't say I didn't
consider changing riders after the Preakness. I also can't say I didn't
consider a change in the future. Pat Day and I agree that he made
riding mistakes in the Preakness. We had Sunday Silence beat and he let
him back in the race."
McGaughey also said, "The other reason I chose Day to ride Easy Goer
was because Pat Day helped him by not crucifying him in his races and he
brought me back some horse. He had soundness problems, but we stayed on
top of it. Pat Day and I agree that he made riding mistakes in the
Preakness. We had Sunday Silence beat and he let him back in the race.
But in the other races, there were circumstances that contributed to
what happened. In the Classic, maybe when Pat Day grabbed him after
the start, the horse didn't understand what he was doing. Then Pat was
content to sit and wait behind Sunday Silence, as he had done before,
and the other horse got away from us, and we just missed and fell just a
stride or so short. In my heart, I think Easy Goer is the better
horse than Sunday Silence. I think anybody would say that if those two
ran against each other ten times, each would probably win five."
Trainers and jockeys ALWAYS say they had the better horse. To do otherwise would be to blame the loss on the horse. Get it?
Good point about the starts and being a better horse. "Easy Goer was absolutely the better & faster horse. Let's get that straight. SS wasn't even remotely close to Easy Goer in speed figures(ragozins,sheets,Jerry Brown,Beyers,etc). But the other variables of Day's horrible riding, making huge,big dramatic moves than easing up & doing this repeatedly & getting outridden & Whittingham's master training making good horses great." Jerardi. I'd agree.
And yet, Sunday Silence became the better sire. And was never touched with the whip in the Classic. And Japan’s about to wipe our butts with his lineage on a world stage level since we so willingly threw the great horse away. With this level of thinking, we deserve to get our butts kicked. Easy Goer better (scoffs).
@@silvereyedstacker1842 Easy Goer was the far superior horse on the track when ss was forced to run drug-free 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. SS's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitted to Jay Hovdey of the DRF in 2001 that he gave ss the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine, plus Furosemide (6 length performance enhancement), etc. Easy Goer was never touched with the whip in numerous races winning drug-free under wraps & handily, while the drug-reliant ss was beaten with the whip in almost all of his races, including the Classic where he was hit with the whip with the left hand & officially won driving all out with illegal ped drugs. Easy Goer was the far better sire in the USA & Europe. ss did NOT sire even ONE G1 winner in the USA & Europe, & many tried. ss took over leading sire in the restricted, insular very big fish in very small pond Japan from Northern Taste & Tesco Boy. The numerous attempts that have been made to propagate ss outside the restricted, insular very big fish in very small pond Japan have had zero success, proving ss's worth outside Japan is zero. The USA, Europe, Australia, South Africa, South America, etc., wipe all butts without ss's lineage on the world stage level.

It's very common that the "superior, better, & faster" contestants whether in a boxing match, triathlon, or pretty much any contest, loses head-to-head matches to slower & inferior competitors.

The very slight 3-1 edge by the slimmest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss by the narrowest of margins; ss's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitted to giving ss illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze) is equivalent to the "final scores in the record books" for Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, Floyd Landis, East Germany in Olympics, Ben Johnson, Diego Maradona, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro, Jose Canseco, Ken Caminiti, Jason Giambi, etc., plus all of the G1 winners that Jason Servis & Jorge Navarro trained, including G1 winners Maximum Security, World of Trouble, Firenze Fire, Sharp Azteca, XY Jet, Private Zone, El Deal & many others. All of these athletes & horses also won major events & G1 races illegally with illegal ped drugs. Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill told all how & why the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the slimmest of margins in a few races. Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself."

How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill said, 'I (Harthill) was used for horses (Sunday Silence, etc) pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses (Sunday Silence, etc) I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won. You can only revere the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself. By doing so, I acknowledge that I effectively stole a large amount of money in my career, & cheated many other horses, trainers, owners & riders I competed against. Nonetheless, I consider my extensive doping as a mark of pride.' " Case closed.

great post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! totally agree
Lasix, a potent diuretic, was and is the main drug which masks other drugs and flushes other banned drugs. I quote the American Veterinary Medical Association: "The drug Lasix is absolutely performance enhancing and also acts a diuretic making horses lose weight giving them an advantage while making them run faster at the same time. In a study of 23,000 races published by the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Horses that received the drug lasix on raceday raced faster, earned more money, and 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 and 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 and rate of lactate production, and decreases the rate of carbon dioxide production of horses during intense exercise, delaying the onset of fatigue and increasing the oxygen going to muscles. Only Lasix? No. The incredibly effective performance enhancing bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol, powerful steroids, loop diuretics, extremely powerful painkillers, very strong amphetamines, and many others. I quote the DRF for the factual truths: "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 performed miracles for horses who made inexplicable improvements with major enhancements in performance. 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) 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. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history. 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. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances, & 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, & 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, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. No matter where the drugs were made, Harthill was right on it. 'Harthill didn't live by the rules,' his friend Gary Priest admitted, who ran a surgical practice with Harthill. The drugs were & are so potent that their use or nonuse dramatically alters horse's performances (including SS). Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history." Not a big deal? Of course it's a huge deal.
Drug-free Easy Goer was the much better horse over the drug-dependent and cheater doper veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence. sunday silence was a good drug horse, needing all of the drugs; without the drugs SS not only got romped by the drug-free Easy Goer, but ss barely beat the awful Le Voyageur. New York was the ONLY state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs. The drug-free Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes proved without a doubt who was best by far because New York was the only racing state in the entire country at the time which banned all raceday performance enhancing drugs; and as importantly, NY also banned the crooked, corrupt, blatant cheater veterinarian of the drug-dependent Sunday Silence, Alex Harthill. ONLY drug-free (and Harthill-free) races kept and keep the outcomes crystal clear. ONLY drug-free (and Harthill-free) races are truly championship races; & the litmus test of a champion is running & winning drug-free (and Harthill-free) without any raceday performance enhancing drugs or Harthill. Only the drug-free (and Harthill-free) races can be called championship races. No-drug (and No-Harthill) races are the only true tests of champions.
@Don't Bet Chalk 1997 Did you read through my entire, thorough response. Sorry for the length of it, but it was necessary. Not sure, but all of Sec's connections thought blinkers aided him greatly.
@Don't Bet Chalk 1997 Yes, I was referring to Sec. Not sure, but all of Sec's connections thought blinkers aided him greatly.
@Don't Bet Chalk 1997 I thought you were a knowledgeable racing follower, but clearly you are not, and you are far from it. Easy Goer carried 7 POUNDS more than CT, and up to 14 to 15 pounds more than the rest of the field. And Easy Goer came into the race with just 10 days rest with his terrible ankles, knees and feet flaring up badly. Plus, Criminal Type didn't need the ped drugs; while ss needed the ped drugs and was dependent on them. When Criminal Type beat Sunday Silence, SS carried 5 pounds more than CT. And the DRF newspaper (Harthill admitted to DRF's Jay Hovdey in newspaper form of Harthill's illegalities administering Clenbuterol to SS), Bloodhorse, Thoroughbred Times, American Veterinary Medical Association, Sports Illustrated, Thoroughbred Daily News (article number 1) down below alludes to what Harthill admitted to DRF's Jay Hovdey), basic common sense, etc, all corroborate the facts and truths I wrote. Also, if Whittingham wasn't using anything illegal, the absolute last person he should have or would have used would be Alex Harthill. And, in the 1980's Whittingham was fined and suspended for his horses testing positive for Procaine/Cocaine. Here are some links:

14 to 0 is the farthest thing from a slight edge. Easy Goer won 14 races drug-free without any drugs, while sunday silence won 0 (ZERO) races drug-free without any drugs. Easy Goer 14, ss 0. The very slight 3-1 edge by the narrowest of margins was done illegally by ss by the slimmest of margins with the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze, plus the performance enhancing drug Furosemide (scientifically proven to give a 9 length performance enhancement). The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer cremated the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harrhill-reliant sunday silence when forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs - & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. And as importantly ss's veterinarian Alex Harthill fully voluntarily admitted that he gave illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine) to ss, plus ss was given Furosemide (a study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 9 length performance enhancement); but Harthill could NOT do so in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs - & as importantly banned the illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. The very slight 3-1 edge by the slimmest of margins (done illegally by ss) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others.
There was the Drug-Free Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes where Easy Goer destroyed him in the only state in the entire country during that era that banned all drugs. Balanced against that are a few wins by Sunday Silence against Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins done illegally by ss by the slimmest of margins with the illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze, plus the performance enhancing drug Furosemide (scientifically proven to give a 9 length performance enhancement). Easy Goer also ran the record mile one full second faster than Secretariat's record. Easy Goer also ran a better, faster Ragozin speed figure than Secretariat did in their respective Belmont Stakes. Easy Goer also ran some of the greatest, fastest all time performances at every distance he ran - 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Easy Goer generally ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances. Easy Goer more often ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances, including many outstanding, perennial all timer performances at every distance - 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Easy Goer won G1's drug-free at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f with much less time & rest between races, & ran many more career races; while the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence only won G1's with drugs at 9f to 10f with much more time & rest between races, & 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. 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 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 winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs, without any drugs; & during that era New York was the only state in the entire country that banned all drugs. Plus, as importantly, NY banned the illegal criminal veterinarian of sunday silence 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 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 races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. And, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine ) to ss, plus ss was given Furosemide (a study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 9 length performance enhancement); but he couldn't do so in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs and banned Alex Harthill as well. Neither the EG/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 2 horses in a VERY MINUSCULE 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). yes
Easy goer was a way faster horse you can see it. Put Pat Day in the glue factory

Isolated frame at the finished showed Sunday Silence won by 3 quarters of a length....not a "desperate neck" ... too bad Dave Johnson didn't call the race. And Sunday Silence broke from the outside post so he actually ran a longer race than Easy Goer and still won.
Love it when Mr. Pat Ron Franklin Esque Day (aka Patsy Daisy Day, Pat Wait All Day, Pat Delay Day, Pat a Day late, Pat start stop Day, Pat so passive & patient he could watch a faucet drip for days Day) looks back at the 2:46 mark of the 1989 Belmont Stakes & sees that the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence is so far back he's on another planet - all because ss forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. Easy Goer demolished Sunday Silence when they were forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse plain and simple. The drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence wasn't as great as the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer. DRF Jan 90 Mike Watchmaker: "Sunday Silence is a drug-dependent horse. ALL of his races IN 1989, EXCEPT the Belmont Stakes in New York, came with the benefit of various drugs, INCLUDING the diuretic DRUG FUROSEMIDE, which is a performance enhancer in many ways & can flush & mask the presence of many other illegal drugs in drug tests. Sunday Silence required the assistance of drugs to WIN his races, while he sustained a MONUMENTAL LOSS to Easy Goer when he wasn't able to use the drugs. The use & abuse of drugs disgraced & dishonored the year of Sunday Silence. All should not bestow honors on drug-dependent horses. Even trainer Charlie Whittingham acknowledged his colt's impediments, & didn't run him in the Travers Stakes in view of the fact that he wouldn't have been able to utilize drugs there in New York. Sunday Silence, & many other horses, would never have made it minus drugs. Because of Sunday Silence's advantage of drugs, all call into question his accomplishments as a horse. Sunday Silence, like Sunny's Halo, Spend a Buck, Gate Dancer & Wild Again before him, is a classic, illustrative example of why drugs & racing don't merge, especially at the sport's highest level. After his narrow drug-aided wins in the Kentucky Derby & Preakness, Sunday Silence went to New York in search of winning the Belmont Stakes & the Triple Crown. Because New York doesn't allow horses to run on any drugs -it's the only jurisdiction in America that doesn't-the suspicion was whether he could win without being given the drugs. It was a distressingly captivating matter in question, which served to remove the Triple Crown of the excitement & allure it has always had. Sunday Silence got overwhelmed in the Belmont, finishing a widening 8 lengths behind Easy Goer. Sunday Silence required the assistance of drugs to WIN his races, while he sustained a monumental loss when he wasn't able to use the drugs. Even trainer Charlie Whittingham acknowledged his colt's impediments, & didn't run him in the Travers Stakes in view of the fact that he wouldn't have been able to utilize drugs there in New York. No wonder so many in New York condemn the usage of drugs. Sunday Silence, & many other horses, would never have made it minus drugs. The use & abuse of drugs disgraced & dishonored the year of Sunday Silence. All should not bestow honors on drug-dependent horses."
The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer cremated the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harrhill-reliant sunday silence when forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs - & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. And as importantly ss's veterinarian Alex Harthill fully voluntarily admitted that he gave illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine) to ss, plus ss was given Furosemide (a study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 6 to 9 length performance enhancement at longer, classic distances); but Harthill could NOT do so in the only state in the whole country during that era which banned all drugs - & as importantly banned the illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well.

ONLY no-drugs races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs races are the only true tests of champions. That is integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. And, Alex Harthill confessed to illegally giving illegal performance enhancing drugs (Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine ) to ss, plus ss was given Furosemide (a study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 6 to 9 length performance enhancement at longer, classic distances); but he couldn't do so in the only state in the whole country at the time which banned all drugs and banned Alex Harthill as well.
29+ years later ... Pat Day, you screwed up, royally
Always to late to much ground to make up .I blame the jockey . I take nothing away from Sunday Silence he was a Great Champion 👍 with a different jockey I think it would have been more even than 3 and 1 life time against easy goer . May be 2 and 2 . Both horses great athletes.
Easy goer was overrated could only win in his home state of NY. Did very little outside of NY and never left the east coast
The drug-dependent & illegal criminal veterinarian Alex Harthill-dependent sunday silence was very overrated - ss could not win without all of his performance enhancing drugs; ss got destroyed when forced to run drug-free without any drugs; ss did nothing when forced to run drug-free without any drugs; ss could only win with all of his ped drugs; ss did nothing and could not win (ss LOST 4 races on bigger tracks) on larger tracks with circumferences larger than a mile (ss LOST 4 races on larger tracks); ss could not win on all 3 sized tracks; ss only won G1 races at 9f to 10f with drugs, ran far less races with much more rest & time between races. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won & ran great outside the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs - and banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. EG ran the fastest 7f of the year in Florida, & only lost by the narrowest of margins in a few races to the drug-reliant & illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant ss due to ss's vet administering illegal ped drugs to ss; EG won all 3 sized tracks (ss did NOT); EG won many more G1 races than ss; EG ran & won all of his races drug-free without any drugs (ss needed his ped drugs); EG won G1 races at 7f, 1 mile, 1 1/8m, 1 1/4m & 1 1/2m drug-free (ss only at 9f to 10f with drugs) without any drugs running many more races with much less rest & time between races.

Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself."

"Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work.

How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill said, 'I (Harthill) was used for horses (Sunday Silence, etc) pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses (Sunday Silence, etc) I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won.

SS had to take his drugs with him, but NY was the only state in the whole USA that banned all drugs (& banned his criminal vet). If all of the races were run drug-free, EG wins all of them on any track at any distance. If all of the races were run on bigger tracks with a circumference larger than a mile (not just Belmont, but also Hialeah, Arlington, Hollywood, Saratoga, Atlantic City, Aqueduct, Laurel, Woodbine, etc., and every track outside the US), EG wins them all on any track at any distance. New York was the ONLY state in the entire country at the time which banned ALL drugs, which banned all performance enhancing drugs, & NY also banned his criminal cheater doper vet Alex Harthill (arrested an endless amount of times in Illinois, Louisiana, Arkansas, NY, Ky, etc, for illegally doping an endless amount of horses with illegal performance enhancing drugs). After the Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer obliterated the drug-reliant & criminal cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-reliant ss in the Drug-Free Test of the Champion, Whittingham said: "I know that Hall of Famers and Championships run through NY in the summer & fall. However, I am extremely angry that NY is the only state in the entire country which bans all drugs, & bans my veterinarian as well, so much so that I won't run him in the Championship, Drug-Free G1 Travers (by far the biggest 3yo race outside of the Triple Crown), nor will I run ss in 3 of the best Handicap Championship, Drug-Free G1 races in the country - G1 Whitney vs elders, G1 Woodward at 10f vs elders, G1 Jockey Club Gold Cup at 12f vs elders. I will instead run ss a few times with his needed drugs vs BLUE COWS and BILLY GOATS. Then we will run a very very fresh ss with his needed drugs in the BC Classic." Charlie Whittingham Clearly DUCKED running ss without his needed ped drugs & his needed criminal cheater doper vet Alex Harthill.
The drug-reliant & criminal cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence also could NOT win on bigger tracks with a circumference larger than mile, as ss LOST 3 races at his home larger track of Hollywood (a larger 9f oval) which he had a losing record over, & with ss LOSING 4 total races on bigger tracks. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won on all 3 sized tracks (8f ovals, 9f ovals & 12f ovals); ss did NOT. So much for taking his track with him. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won in Multiple states over 5 different tracks; EG's narrow losses by the slimmest of margins was not due to states, regions or timezones. It was due to drugs. EG's owners were Chairmen of the Jockey Club & NYRA, & they were staunchest opponents of drugs, & they would not run EG on drugs outside Drug-Free NY based on integrity & principle - they practiced what they preached. They didn't cave in on drugs until 1995. The Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won 12 total stakes (ran the fastest 7f of the year in Florida in one of them on the smaller track; 2 others on sloppy & muddy tracks in blazingly fast times) & won 9 G1 races Drug-Free at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f (most of them among the Top 5 Fastest of All-Time in each respective G1 at all distances) without drugs & with much less time & rest between races running faster times at all distances, & ran far superior speed/performance figures & ratings; while the drug-reliant & criminal cheater doper vet Alex Harthill-reliant ss only won G1's at 9f to 10f with his needed ped drugs & with much more time & rest between races. EG lost while conceding from 7 pounds to 18 pounds of weight; while ss lost to the same horse while conceding LESS weight (only 5 pounds).

In the drug-free EG's few very slim losses by the slimmest 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. 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 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. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances, & 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, & 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, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. The drugs were & are so potent that their use or nonuse dramatically alters horse's performances (including SS). 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. Case closed.
The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse plain and simple. The drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence wasn't as great as the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer. Paul Moran of DRF, Newsday & LA Times: "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. Sunday Silence had been TREATED WITH DRUGS, NOTABLY THE PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG FUROSEMIDE, in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness & Breeders' Cup Classic when narrowly 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 & debates 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."

Clearly Sunday Silence' best race and a masterful ride by Chris McCarron. Though the outcome was tight, Easy Goer didn't have a real chance. He certainly had not his best form.

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 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. The drug-free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer was the better horse than the drug-reliant & criminal juicer doper veterinarian 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. 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. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill did more cheating with drugs to win horse races than any vet in history. 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. Harthill was at the vanguard of giving drugs to horses that were used to vastly enhance their performances, & 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, & 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, & Harthill had no hesitancy in using whatever was available. Harthill was a magic man vet practicing the dark arts of racehorse manipulation. Harthill was arrested many times (Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, NY,etc) for tampering, bribery & doping horses with drugs. The drugs were & are so potent that their use or nonuse dramatically alters horse's performances (including SS). 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. Never ever forget indeed. Case closed.
Better in any way is totally subjective. There was the Test of the Champion Belmont Stakes (the classic distance for the whole world) where Easy Goer destroyed him in the only state in the entire country during that era that banned all drugs & medications. Balanced against that are two wins by Sunday Silence against Easy Goer by the narrowest of margins, and a total of 3 wins which SS won by a combined margin of less than two and three-quarter lengths. So SS held the slight 3-1 edge against EG with 3 wins coming in close wins and a loss in which he was destroyed. Easy Goer also ran the record mile one full second faster than Secretariat's record. Easy Goer also ran a better, faster Ragozin speed figure than Secretariat did in their respective Belmont Stakes. Easy Goer also ran some of the greatest, fastest all timer performances at every distance he ran - 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Easy Goer generally ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances. Easy Goer more often ran faster times than Sunday Silence at all distances, including many outstanding, perennial all timer performances at every distance - 6.5F, 7F, 8F, 9F, 10F, 12F. Sunday Silence lost 36% of his races, mostly to lesser horses including Houston, Prized, Criminal Type, and Cro Lover. Better in any way is totally subjective. 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 MINUSCULE 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). 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, including 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.
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. 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.
Pat Day lost this race at the 3/8th Pole at the 1:26 mark of this video...He sits like a STATUE aboard Easy Goer and does not even try to push his Horse at all as Sunday Silence was moving toward the Lead...Someone let me know what Pat Day was waiting for...He waited until The Stretch to Push Easy Goer...Makes no sense to me...He left Easy Goer with too much ground to make up...Easy Goer had a World of Talent and Pat Day does not let him run until the stretch...Letting SS get away from him at the 3/8th pole was a DUMB mistake...Let the Horse RUN Pat

Citation, Kelso, Easy Goer, Forego, John Henry, Dr Fager, Shuvee, Skip Away, Pleasant Colony, Sir Barton, Unbridled, Whirlaway, California Chrome, etc., all made history. It's very common that the "superior, better, & faster" contestants whether in a boxing match, triathlon, or pretty much any contest, loses head-to-head matches to slower & inferior competitors. Inferior horses frequently beat very superior, gifted almost supernatural horses. The very slight 3-1 edge by the narrowest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss by the slimmest of margins, admitted to by ss's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitting to giving ss illegal performance enhancing drugs) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others.
The very slight 3-1 edge by the slimmest of margins (attained ILLEGALLY by ss by the narrowest of margins; ss's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill admitted to giving ss illegal performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Etorphine & Sublimaze) is equivalent to the "final scores in the record books" for Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, Floyd Landis, East Germany in Olympics, Ben Johnson, Diego Maradona, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro, Jose Canseco, Ken Caminiti, Jason Giambi, etc., plus all of the G1 winners that Jason Servis & Jorge Navarro trained, including G1 winners Maximum Security, World of Trouble, Firenze Fire, Sharp Azteca, XY Jet, Private Zone, El Deal & many others. All of these athletes & horses also won major events & G1 races illegally with illegal ped drugs. Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill told all how & why the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the slimmest of margins in a few races. Harthill said, "You can only REVERE the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself." The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer cremated the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence when ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs in the only state in the entire country at the time which banned all drugs, & as importantly also banned ss's illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. "Kentucky Derby Doctor Alex Harthill Reveals Disgraceful Past: Harthill Reflects on Unlawful Life's Work. Harthill Discloses He Administered Forbidden Performance-Enhancing Drugs To Many American Classic Winners In The Kentucky Derby, Preakness And Breeders' Cup Classic." How about the Belmont Stakes & the enormous amount of the other major G1 stakes races in New York? How about when the Breeders Cup took place in NY? Harthill was barred in NY. NY also was the only state in the entire country during that era which banned all drugs. NY also had the most advanced out-of-competition, training & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. DRF 2001 Jay Hovdey: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me (Jay Hovdey/DRF) how he illegally gave numerous horses illegal drugs, INCLUDING Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine TO SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally breaking the laws in ENHANCING his horses PERFORMANCES. Harthill ADMITTED to illegally using the immensely effective performance enhancing Bronchodilator drug Clenbuterol REGULARLY in the 1980's on his horses, 15 years before it was approved by the FDA, INCLUDING USING IT ON SUNDAY SILENCE. Harthill introduced the incredibly effective performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol in the 1980's & illegally administered it TO SUNDAY SILENCE, who benefited immeasurably by its immensely effective performance enhancing effects. Some of Harthill's other drugs that HE ADMINISTERED TO SUNDAY SILENCE were Etorphine & Sublimaze. The drugs Harthill administered were being used to improve a horse's performance, & they were REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE. Harthill was the vet that manipulated horse races & he Publicly Acknowledged Doing So many times. Harthill said, 'I (Harthill) was used for horses (Sunday Silence, etc) pointing for, & running in, MAJOR RACES who NEEDED DRUGS & had INFIRMITIES. I earned the reputation I had. I am very proud of the horses (Sunday Silence, etc) I helped WITH DRUGS IN THEIR CAREERS. Drugs always go through changing stages of being detected on drug tests. What I focused on was what drugs enhanced performance, together with what drugs could conceal illegal drugs, along with what drugs didn't show up on drug tests. For these reasons, I gave my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) a considerable advantage. Trainers would say, Don't get me caught, but keep me worried. Even though a horse is 5 or 7 times larger than humans, the amount of dope needed to have an effect is so small. An amount on the tip of a match would be enough to flick up a horse's nose to get a spectacular result. By the time they got my horses to the starting gate they’d be leaping out of their skin. I administered illegal drugs throughout my career that INCREASED the performances of racehorses IN CLASSIC RACES, & almost all of the time I did so, my horses won. You can only revere the horses (Easy Goer, etc) whom my horses (Sunday Silence, etc) defeated even more, to do all they (Easy Goer, etc) were asked to do, just to fall a slight bit short (Easy Goer, etc) of horses (Sunday Silence, etc) who had been given performance-enhancing drugs (Sunday Silence, etc) by myself. By doing so, I acknowledge that I effectively stole a large amount of money in my career, & cheated many other horses, trainers, owners & riders I competed against. Nonetheless, I consider my extensive doping as a mark of pride.' " Case closed.
Some Fans just go by "Results"...They dont take into consideration the Brutal campaign of Easy Goer prior to this race opposed to the very easy light campaign of Sunday Silence...Connections also debated scratching Easy Goer from this race cause he looked sluggish prior to the race...Also was sluggish in this race...Still managed to only miss by a neck at the wire...Better horse Lost this race

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 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.

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 forever.

The 3-1 (done ILLEGALLY by the narrowest of margins by ss) means as much or as little as Noor 4, Citation 1; Beau Purple 3, Kelso 1; Alsab 2, Whirlaway 1; Big Spruce 2, Forego 1; Wajima 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; Billy Kelly 8, Sir Barton 4; Summer Squall 4, Unbridled 2; Bayern 2, California Chrome 1; Star of Cozzene 3, Kotashaan 1; & an endless amount of others. 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 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, NY 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 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 races were/are true championship races. Only no-drugs races could/can be called championship races. Only No-drugs races kept/keep the outcomes crystal clear. No-drugs 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 forever.
@@traviswest949 PLEASE REMEMBER😭😭😭😭😭
If you look at the race McCarron (and what McCarron said - "SS was running FULL OUT" the entire home stretch) was constantly throwing crosses with the reins, poking him with the whip on the left side, and showing him the whip on the left side. SS officially won DRIVING ("STRONG URGING") according to DRF/Equibase. SS officially won driving - officially by DRF (Racing Form)/Equibase. Driving in the DRF/Equibase glossary definitions means strong urging by the rider. The official margin was a neck in this race. Clearly, it was a very rapidly diminishing neck, as Easy Goer blew by at the wire. The official DRF/Equibase chart notes SS won "driving" (strong urging). McCarron was told not to hit the horse by his trainer due to his disdain for being whipped (as well as weaving tendencies) - though in some races like the Preakness & Belmont SS handled being whipped ok. But what did he do for it to be driving (strong urging)? He was repeatedly & continuously asking him (driving - strong urging) to run by throwing crosses (flicking & swooping with the reins, cross reining), and poking him (as McCarron said in the Blood Horse Nov. 11, 1989 & LA Times Nov. 5, 1989 articles) on his shoulder, & showing him the whip with his left hand. McCarron stated the horse was running all out at his top speed & doing the best he could, & he was also trying to keep him straight - because he was lugging in as well. McCarron said, "He was running FULL OUT for the last three sixteenths of a mile (which is the entire home stretch at Gulfstream in those days). Easy Goer was really flying the last eighth." Hence, as he said, the poking him on the left shoulder, the showing him the whip on the left side, and the throwing crosses, cross reining, and the flicking and swooping with the reins. As an aside, in the 1989 Belmont, Day actually did whip EG a few times at the top of the stretch, then hand rode him the entire last eighth of a mile while widening to win by 8 lengths. The chart noted he won ridden out in the Belmont. Ridden out (1989 Belmont) is much less vigorous riding than the 'strong urging' of driving (1989 BCC).
Easy Goer ran far more DRUG FREE races than SS in general; EG ran far more totally DRUG-FREE races than SS (with DRUGS & far more rest & time between races) at more deviating, different distances with far less time and rest between drug-free races. SS ran far less races with drugs and with much more time and rest between races.
