Great description, whorst! I didn't understand a word of it but his name, and even that took a time or two to catch. Like I said, whatever you think of him, that's one hell of a move to pull time after time! I really liked his race in the last part of the Japanese Triple Crown: skittish from the start because of crowd noise, raced to near the front, burned up a ton of energy on the bit, then the jockey finally hauled him back and settled him in mid-pack...and he *still* came flying in the last 100 yards or so to beat the others.
