hardly a career i would call outstanding, and his time in the BCC 2005 was no different than Pleasantly Perfects a year earlier, but for some reason, because it was mandella's horse or because it was a west coast horse winning the Bcc in Ca he gets overlokked.
PP's effort in the world cup, imo, is more impressive than a cranked up GZ's who ran once after that, and only once.
also missing from the list is the win by 31 lenghts,
nuff said about that one , i would think.
also how can you exclude Mineshaft and Perfect drift trading jumps in the eye to eye dual in the S foster 2003.
a remarkable effort from the current leader in lifetime earnings, in handing the horse of the year, minseshaft a defeat in his championship year !

It's top 10 Breeders' Cup preformances so mineshaft & PD Stephen Foster is not a breeders' cup race. And Ghostzapper was unbelievable and that 1 race after the classic was a 6 length win in the Met Mile in 1:33 off a 5 and a half month layoff. And he had an outstanding carrer from 6 1/2f to 10f he was so dominant it was almost unfair. His classic he just laughed at Roses In May when he moved close to him and destroyed that field.
