No one ever called Secretariat and Spectacular Bid frauds...I just meant that since they had lost a few races that they were frauds too. I was being sarcastic. It was really a bad example on my part because LITF will never be anywhere close to being as good as those two great horse...no where near it.
As for LR, everyone calls LR overrated and overhyped. In a thread that asked who was the most overrated/overhyped horse so far this year...LR got the most votes. There are very few who will defend LR.
