We look down on sprinters and grass horses usually as horses that failed to continue on to the classic distances on dirt. So my question to Dahoss is this, is there anything that Gamine could do, even if she ran regularly next year, that would be good enough to call her a generational talent if she’s kept at 7-8f?
Of course she could. Again, I’m not sure what that means nowadays anyway....but yes she could do things next year and at the end of this year that would make me think she’s generational
