I was not a fan of his either but there is no denying that he turned into a good horse. A really good horse. I think it’s logical to say that Justify was better early than Gun Runner was and with expected improvement as an older runner, he may have been better than Gun Runner became. But I didn’t see a single race from Justify in 2018 that was better than the race I saw from Gun Runner.
