Bluegrass Cat's bias aided win in the Haskell almost made the list.
I believe the horse breaking from the extreme outside post won just about every race that day....JRV was able to give BGC a very sweet trip from it.
Prado, on the other hand, looked like he rode a pathetic race on the surface, but he was only trying so desperatley to get SC to the outside because he was smart enough to know where the much better footing seemed to be.
While, no one can rationally say that Bluegrass Cat wasn't the best horse in that race...his performance in victory wasn't nearly as good as many thought.
