I don’t think that was a “desperate neck.” Geared down at the wire is more like it.

He finished 12th of 14 in the English 2000 Guineas. His answer to that was back to back wins in the Epsom Derby & Irish Derby. Then came a last of 10 finish in the King George. To which he responded with back to back wins in the Irish Champion Stakes & Breeders Cup Turf. Most recently came a last of 12 finish in the Dubai Sheema Classic. To which he answered strongly again with a 2nd in the Tattersalls Gold Cup and a win in the Prince of Wales's Stakes. The one thing about Auguste Rodin is there seems to be no middle ground at all with him. Whether winning or losing it's been all or nothing. Go big or go home. Aidan O'Brien has five horses that he trained that are all tied with 7 Group/Grade 1 victories each as the most for any horse/horses he's ever trained. They are Rock Of Gibraltar, Yeats, Minding, Magical, & Highland Reel. His win at Royal-Ascot made the 6th career G1 win to date for Auguste Rodin. Barring injury or something else unforseen that would end the season for him prematurely, it's almost hard to imagine his not being able to pick off two more G1 wins before the end of the 2024 flat season and take over the top spot by his lomesome as having the most G1 wins by any horse trained by Aidan O'Brien.

Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill told all how & why ss beat EG 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." DRF 01 article: "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 & raceday testing, & tested for an enormous amount of drugs. 01 DRF: "Alex Harthill was BOLD ENOUGH to tell me 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.' " ss was also given Lasix & Lasix is a potent ped drug & the main drug which masks & flushes other banned drugs; plus it reduces body weight by 16 to 25lbs, & the study of 23k races shows it gives a significant 9 length performance enhancement.

"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.

"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. 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. Sunday Silence got overwhelmed in the Belmont, finishing a widening 8 lengths behind Easy Goer. 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, leaving all to ponder if he in truth was who he appeared to be. All should not bestow honors on drug-dependent horses." DRF January 1990. 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 the slimmest 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. The end.

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 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. 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. Case shut indeed.

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 Round Table was a great horse until he went up against Iron Liege. Iron Liege won 2 of 3 races vs Round Table. That's like saying Forego was a great horse until he went up against Big Spruce. Big Spruce won 2 of 3 races vs Forego. That's like saying Forego was a great horse until he went up against Wajima. Wajima won 2 of 3 races vs Forego. That's like saying Shuvee was a great horse until she went up against Gallant Bloom. Gallant Bloom won 4 of 5 races vs Shuvee. That's like saying Pleasant Colony was a great horse until he went up against Akureyri. Akureyri won 3 of 4 races vs Pleasant Colony. That's like saying Skip Away was a great horse until he went up against Formal Gold. Formal Gold won 4 of 6 races vs Skip Away. That's like saying John Henry was a great horse until he went up against Cabrini Green. Cabrini Green won 4 of 4 races vs John Henry. That's like saying John Henry was a great horse until he went up against Darby Creek Road. Darby Creek Road won 3 of 3 races vs John Henry.

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. Many greats or champions were behind or tied in head to head races vs other horses, including Citation, Kelso, Easy Goer, Forego, Dr Fager, Damascus, Round Table, Swaps, Nashua, John Henry, Skip Away, Sir Barton, Pleasant Colony, Shuvee, Unbridled and many others. 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.

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).

It's called integrity, fair play, honesty, facts & complete fairness for all; NOT excuses & crying. The only things my 100% Factual, Truthful comments prove is that : 1) the use of performance enhancing drugs (all drugs) are strictly about the fact they disgrace, dishonor & tarnish the drug-reliant horses like sunday silence who were given performance enhancing drugs, as well as tarnish the sport; while banning all ped drugs, all drugs, assure 'graciousness', integrity, fair play & complete fairness for all, & are DEFINITELY NOT 'excuses & crying NOR obsessed, bitter, wounded fans who lost money.' The "issue" with ped drugs, indeed all drugs, is absolutely the most important issue - integrity, honesty, fair play & complete fairness for all. The use of drugs disgraces, dishonors & tarnishes all drug-reliant horses like sunday silence; & the use of drugs disgraces, dishonors & tarnishes the sport. Sunday Silence's vet Alex Harthill & ped drugs (all drugs) have led to the destruction of integrity in racing. 1a) 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, & 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. 1b) according to Sunday Silence's banned illegal criminal Official vet Alex Harthill (Harthill admitted it in 2001 DRF article by Jay Hovdey), SS was given the remarkably effective performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze & Etorphine in the 1989 KY Derby, Preakness & BC Classic, & still only could beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer by the slimmest of margins; 2) According to the Official 88-90 DRF Forms, SS was given the remarkably effective performance-enhancing drug Furosemide (a scientific study of 23,000 races showed it gives a 9 length performance enhancement), as well as Banamine/Flunixin (5 times more powerful than aspirin bute), & Aspirin Bute in all 13 of his 14 career races outside drug-free New York; 3) According to the Official DRF's Mike Watchmaker, ss was given Furosemide & other drugs in all of his races, except the Belmont Stakes, in 1989, which includes the 89 KY Derby, Preakness, BC Classic, etc.; 4) According to the Official LA Times Paul Moran, ss was treated with Lasix & other drugs in the 1989 Kentucky Derby, Preakness & BC Classic; 5) according to the Official 2012 NY Post article found on the web (titled "11 horses who missed out on Triple Crown at Belmont"), ss was given Lasix in all of his races vs EG except the drug-free Belmont Stakes; 6) Easy Goer did not run on any performance enhancing drugs at all in all 20 of his career races; 7) Sunday Silence & the 20+ other horses Harthill admitted he gave illegal performance enhancing drugs, Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, Floyd Landis, East Germany in Olympics, Maria Sharapova, 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 trainers 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 won major events & G1 races illegally with illegal performance enhancing drugs. Frankly, it was so rewarding to see the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence get totally demolished by the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer when forced to run drug-free without any drugs, & without his banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill as well. If the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence was better than the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer, he would not have gotten absolutely cremated by Easy Goer when forced to run drug-free without any drugs, & without his banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill. Sunday Silence was given the remarkably effective performance enhancing drugs Clenbuterol, Sublimaze, Etorphine & Furosemide (scientifically proven to give a 9 length performance enhancement), & still only could beat the True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer (running drug-free without any drugs) by the slimmest of margins. The True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer absolutely crushed the drug-reliant & banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill-reliant sunday silence because ss was forced to run drug-free without any drugs & without his banned illegal criminal vet Alex Harthill. The Litmus Test of a Champion is running & winning drug-free without any performance enhancing drugs, without any drugs, & that is what proves it without any doubts. Case closed tight.

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). That's like saying Citation just didn't have will to win/guts that Noor did. When push came to shove, he failed. Deal with it. Noor won 4 out of 5 races vs Citation. That's like saying Kelso just didn't have will to win/guts that Beau Purple. When push came to shove, he failed. Deal with it. Beau Purple won 3 out of 4 races vs Kelso.

End of story.

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. 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. 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 True Drug-Free Hall of Fame Champion Easy Goer won 14 races drug-free without any drugs, 12 stakes wins, 9 G1 wins at 7f, 8f, 9f, 10f & 12f on all 3 sizes of tracks (8f, 9f & 12f sized ovals) on fast, muddy & sloppy tracks with much less time & rest between races & ran far superior performances; defeated older horses 6 times while carrying & conceding significant weight; ran right on 6.5f track record, ran the fastest 7f of the year in Florida, ran the fastest mile ever in history by a 3 yr old in 1:32 - just a tick off Dr Fager's world record at a mile while destroying Secretariat's stakes record -, ran the 2nd fastest Test of a Champion Belmont Stakes of all time behind only Secretariat, ran right on the track records in the 8f G1 Champagne, 9f G1 Whitney, 10f G1 Travers & 10f G1 Suburban, & ran among the Top 5 Fastest All-time runnings of the 8f G1 Champagne, 8f Gotham, 12f G1 Belmont, 9f G1 Whitney, 10f G1 Travers & 10f G1 Suburban, etc., while only losing by the slimmest of margins to ss because ss had been given numerous ped drugs (Clenbuterol, Furosemide, Sublimaze & Etorphine). ss only won G1's at 9f to 10f with ped drugs only on small 8f tracks with much more time & rest between races. Case closed.

Great ride, he waited for being clear and the horse reacted very well.

As someone said "Thank You Lord for lending us Your horse".

Another flop

Lol couldn't win in Perth WA 😂 UK sprinters are very slow!

Can there be a better bred horse??? Sire is a Triple Crown winner and dam is the daughter of a Triple Crown winner.

and why is this a win and you're in race? Are we gonna start taking Mexican bush track horses next?

I might be wrong but a race announcer makes it better. Here there's no announcer. #winandyourein

Beau genuis wasnt espected to do anything in this race! He just WON 6 CONSECUTIVE RACES at 6 different distances at 6 different race tracks and was scheduled to be turned out at farm but OWNERS ARE GREEDY and NOT ALWAYS BRIGHT!!!!

Brilliant mare. Her daughter Bedside Story (by Frankel) has inherited her speed and is a superstar in the making 2024

I had Sakhee.crushing loss, in the shadow of 9-11

Shoe was the best!

Easy Goers Career Ailing Ankles Were Swelled up to The Size of Grapefruits Before This Race and They Discussed Scratching Him...What an Effort This Was...Could Have Won if His Jockey Was Not in Lala Land During Race

Zenyatta just toying with the boys.

Easy Goer left with WAY too much to do. Day consistently gave bad rides in the biggest spots.

Wow. What a race from an incredibly star studded cast!

Unbridled overcame an absolute trash ride by Day. What a champion.

Congratulations Auguste Rodin!! You Punched Your Ticket BACK To The Breeders Cup!!❤😊

These Royal Ascot Winners Are Just The CLASS OF THE FIELD!!

David Milch's Horse, the Glory Days are in the rear view mirror (period)

Saying it was Durkin's best call ever is not saying much. He will never compare to Dave Johnson or Chick Anderson.

Charyn!! You Are IN For This Year's Breeders Cup!! Congratulations!!❤

Congratulations, Asfoora!! You Punched Your Ticket To The Breeders Cup!!😊❤

Tom Durkin. Nuffield said.

2018 or 2020 watch party?

One word for Zenyatta... Magnificent.

But, it’s still One Dreamer trying to steal it on the lead, and she is strong!!

For people who dose not know about big red Big red/Secretariat/. Was the greatest race horse out there. He suffered head fall( I think). Which his head was bigger than his body,it was hard for him to get up , walk etc. (I forgot what race) but he had an absent tooth in one of his races which he ( came 3rd or 2nd). At Belmont he was Moving like a Tremendous machine ! the length was 31. He hold recording for the fastest time in all three TCR ( Triple crown Races) He retired to claymont Farm were he was layed there to be a breeder/Stud before he passed away due lamnaites(I can’t spell).

She looks good for her age. She was one of the greatest .male or female

oh man i wish I was there !

We cannot say he was the greatest RACEHORSE of all time, because we cannot compare Usain Bolt to Mo Farrah or Micheal Jordan. Most Americans have never heard of Arkle, a racehorse that was so good he caused humans to sit down and change the rules of racing, a horse that set records that will NEVER be beaten.....because no horse will ever carry the weight he carried. As has been said many times we should just enjoy their greatness.

Rags to riches was a one hit wonder the Belmont took the heart out of her

Well this lineup had some great mommies

Waoo...q clase de carrera. Zenyata tuvo que salir al centro de pista al no poder conseguir via franca pegada a la vaya. Esa movida (q tenia q hacerla) le costo la carrera. Cosas del hipismo.

It's funny how gun runner became a monster

It’s June 2024 and I haven’t forgotten 🎉 What a performance from a super horse. Here’s to the Queen.

Alpha won the race.

I was there and it was as exciting a race as I’ve ever seen!

He will definitely be the horse of my lifetime, as he was the first to win the Triple Crown since Affirmed, and became the first Triple Crown winner to win the Breeder's Cup!

Awesome
