Easy Goer (March 21, 1986 – May 12, 1994) was an American Champion Hall of Fame Thoroughbred racehorse, famous for earning American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt honors in 1988, and defeating 1989 American Horse of the Year Sunday Silence in the Belmont Stakes by 8 lengths. The victory deprived Sunday Silence of the Triple Crown. It was also the second fastest Belmont Stakes, behind only the record performance of Secretariat in 1973. Easy Goer was also famous for running the fastest mile ever run on dirt by any three year old in the history of thoroughbred racing, with a time of 1:32 2/5, just one-fifth of a second off the world record set by Dr. Fager in 1968. In the Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century, Easy Goer is ranked #34.
