Thanks Blackbarn. The Racing Post site doesn't record that race but Arazi quickly got his revenge giving Steinbeck 3lbs.
Visually, I would have the Arazi performance ahead of anything I have seen. It doesn't match up form wise to many of the greats but I can't think of another race where a horse has literally made it look like the others were running in slow motion. |

Best 2yo debut I every saw was Gorytus in the Acomb Stakes.

Best 2-y-o performance I've seen and just one pick, has got to be CHIEF SINGER in the Coventry, 20-1, never ran in a maiden and went straight to Ascot for his debut in the Coventry - and his entire career was spent in Group company. Love this story about him:
"Shortly before the Coventry, Trainer Ron Sheather had matched the colt against a successful 6-y-o handicapper named Teamwork in a trial gallop, and decided to send the colt straight to Ascot after he easily defeated his older rival despite meeting him at two stones worse than weight-for-age. Before the Coventry Lester Piggott asked Cochrane how he expected to win on "that big black oaf". Cochrane responded "take a good look at his face, because all you're going to see at the end is his arse" |

Arazi's Breeders Cup is the most overrated 2yo performance I've ever seen.
There, I said it! |

oh dear
 that's like saying "Santa doesn't exist"   One that I will never forget was Cry of Truth winning a Donny Maiden. |

Yes,Arazi was brilliant,as were the others mentioned,but what Lady Aurelia did at Ascot was good enough to win the Kings Stand.Outstanding performance.

Poor commentary from POS - CS does not get a mention until a split second before he takes the lead at the furlong pole. |

In my view, Mill Reef was more impressive than Arazi.
Celtic Swing also has to be mentioned. |

I didn't see it but is anything better than Tudor Minstrels Coventry Stakes win?
Of those seen Cantelo was unbeaten in her 2yo season. As a 3yo favourite for the Oaks but second to Petite Etoile and for one of my best days ever won the St Leger. |

Circus Ring, she was odds on for the Guineas in the autumn, that gives you some idea of how good she was best i've seen.
