What bothers me is the guys who come on here proclaiming his BCC SECOND-PLACE FINISH (Not up the track like their hero Lava Man) is indisputable evidence that he's a fraud. Listen, none of us KNOW ****.
People like me and KY Roses will continue to think he was one of the best horses we've ever seen. People like Sniper and Windu and ArlJim will continue to think he was an okay 3-year-old. There's no proving either opinion wrong, and they should be stated as that, opinions.

That I'm fine with. Just sick of hearing that people know he didn't run his race when really it is just their opinion that he was a lot better than he showed in the BC Classic. He's certainly a lot more than an ok 3yo. I think he's a very good horse that could have been a great one if he improved next year. Unfortunately we'll never know, and that pisses me off more than anything.
