I never watched him run, I was 8 at the time he was really good. From looking at his pp's he looks like a total super horse.
At one time he was a very good dirt horse. He held the track record at Belmont for 5 furlongs on the dirt. Dead heated with Devil His Due in the 92 Gotham which was a great race. Artie Shiller, Singletary and Gio Ponti don't deserve to be in the same conversation as Lure.
