LITF's record speaks for itself. He won 10 races in a row and has won either 6 or 7 graded stakes races. When you have 11 wins from 14 lifetime starts including 6 or 7 graded stakes wins, you know you have a pretty special horse.
I'm not a huge LITF fan either. We tend to like the horses that we have made money on. I've never made any money on LITF. I rarely bet favorites, and I have never bet on LITF. I've bet against him a few times and I usually got burned because he usually beat me. He's a tough horse. I have a lot of respect for him. I thought it was amazing how he kept winning last year despite the fact that they kept shipping him all over the place. He really only ran in two easy spots all year. He had those two easy races in Northern California, but aside from that he was shipping all over the country running in graded stakes races. If what he did last year was not impressive, then I'd like to know what is. I'd like someone to name me a horse who has had a more impressive campaign the last few years than that. I don't know if there are any. If there are, you can count them on one hand.
