what racehorse is great then?
Ghostzapper is not great?
what exactly was he supposed to do?
was he supposed to help the track maintenence crew at Saratoga not make it an incredibely rail biased track that day.
thats not really part of the job of a racehorse.
besides that SAR race, he never lost in a race where he was not injured.
personally, I think there were 2 truly great racehorses in that 2004 Woodward.
