I'll vouch for Uncle Buck. I was aware it was a good race but when he forced me to look closely at the card and follow up by posting the conclusion that he was the best horse that ran that day at Aqueduct. The other big horse that ran that day was of course was Achilles of Troy. Any other year I'd say we have our winner. This year, I am not certain.

Off odds of 14-1

Its the Grade II Illinois Derby for crying out loud. He beat no one.
