Yes I know. In fact, here is what I posted about him just a few days ago:
"Why is this horse so controversial? I just don't get it.
At ages 3 and 4 he was a very good horse. He won six graded stakes in those two years.
At age 5 and 6 he began to decline considerably. Although he still managed some good performances, (particularly the '05 BCC) and was consistently in the money he (not surprisingly) wasn't the same horse he was at ages 3 and 4. That is perfectly natural.
At age 7 and now at age 8 he has regressed further. He isn't the consistent G1/G2-caliber horse he once was.
Would ANYBODY disagree with any of the things I said there? If not, why are there so many arguments about this horse? I am not trying to be a smart-ass.....I really don't get it."
Actually I am really sorry for bringing him up in this thread. I have always liked the horse, but the mere mention of his name in any thread seems to
turn the entire discussion into a debate about this horse's merits. I am starting to get really bored with it.
