Easy Goer was just a star crossed horse is all. The best to not be fully appreciated in my opinion. He died young. Probably wasn't as successful a stallion as everyone hoped. But the greatest tragedy I ever saw was that Classic. Watch it closely and focus on Goer. I've never seen so much subtle trouble in my life. Crazy break, Split Run. What a gas tank that animal had. And you gotta wonder when does cancer jump up and start to weaken an individual. Was it in him when he was racing? I know four years passed. I just don't know. I wish we could have seen him with Cordero riding is all. Pat Day has a way of finding tough spots. Unless he's on a Lukas horse. But I still bet against them...lol

Goer caught mud in the Derby as he did in the Juvenile there at Churchill. He was 12 lengths better than his stablemate and he was life and death to nose him in the Derby.
