Giacomo has won his share of nice races.Obviously he likes a 46 or quicker pace to chase.If you like to rag on horses, then you can rag on his one dimensional style.It is often said that he is slow.He is slow if they run a 46'3,or a 47.He can beat fast horses if they run a 46'0 or quicker.He can look very bad( until he gets his pitch.)You give him his pitch,and he won't leave it short. If he were to get the pace in the 2003 classic (22.79, 46.35, 1:10.32, 1:34.32,)then I think he would have a shot.Same for the 2002 classic.2004,and 2005...No...All about getting his pitch.
