You are right that LITF will never live up to the reputation that was set for him. He will never be an "all time great". But he isnt even a grade 1 animal. We have a defending Eclipse champ that cant even COMPETE in open company grade 2's. That is the definition of "fraud" in its purest form.

I argued over-and-over again throughout last year's Eclipse balloting season ...
... that the Sprint Award should have been vacated ... no champion named.
There are some years ... and some divisions ... where no horse is really desrving of the accolade of "champion" ... and last year's sprint division was one of them.
To give the award to a horse which never won an open G2 ... much less G1 sprint ... and probably was not even one of the ten best sprinters ... was a joke ... and a debasement of the word "champion."
And my position then has been completely vindicated by this year's events.
