I dont consider the Met Mile a sprint.

Thats complete nonsense. Pico dusted him off and squashed him like a bug in the vosburgh. Pico skipped the cup because it woulda cost them a ton to supplement him.
he as absolutely incredible that year winning the Vosburgh, Carter, met Mile and I believe the San Carlos. Ridiculous!!!!! And I screamed bloody murder about it at the time. The BC doesnt equal a whole year.
