I think you need to brush up on the merits of Gulch and King's Swan....and compare them to the mediocrities mascarading as Grade 1 horses these days. In any way comparing them to Two Step Salsa and Mast Track is grossly unfair.
Now, I'm going to get back to stomping around MY stall.

No I don't think she's stomping around in her stall angry at all. Not anymore than you think she's in her stall wiping sweat from her brow in relief of not having to face the boys in the Classic.
I wasn't comparing the merits of Gulch and King's Swan at all. I know what those horses did and what they were. What I was simply saying was that they weren't considered the upper echelon of the male runners in their year just like Two Step and Mast Track would be facing males but nowhere near the upper echelon's of the male horses.
