You cant compare those races, but you can compare greatness. I think LITF was great, but he never got to show it. Im sure his career tailing off had to do with his illness. Had he not been strickened with a horrible disease that horse could have been any kind. Just as Bernardini could be any kind, unfortunately we wont get to see that either, as hes being retired. Its a hard pill to swallow to see Bernardini retired in the wake of all that has happened. You know Harry Aelo would have raced Bernardini and shared it with the world. I wish he would have had the chance to share LITF greatness with us all as well.
