I guess you're right. All he had was good looks. He only won 5 graded stakes races in a row at distances ranging anwhere from 7 furlongs to 1 1/4 miles. I can't figure out why people thought he was a good horse.

i guess i should have put in my post the fact that i was talking about RHT when he was running with smarty. i think he got bet way down because he was black--or maybe tall and black. he turned out well after, but he sure got a lot of undeserved attention when he came east before all his successes in cali.
