His "great races" were intermittant. When he was good he was very good.

Actually I did, and said as such.
And he didn't disappoint me.
You know why only 3 showed up in the Iselin? Because they were AFRAID! And all he did was run a ridiculously fast race in which nobody in the world would have beaten him in. So those that stayed away made the right decision.
