But unfortunately when he faced his best field he faltered. Maybe he was sick, but we'll never know for sure.
I think if he is on the list then Honour and Glory has to be also. He faced much better and actually defeated his elders, in May of his 3 year old season in the Met Mile, shading 1:33 for a mile in the process, while running hard every step of the way. He also had a full campaign running in California, New york, Canada and Kentucky. His record isn't as flashy as LITF's, but there is no doubt in my mind that if he was running in those races that LITF was he would have been undefeated and I think he was a much better horse than LITF.

Well said... to put him in the top 25 of the past 20 years is just plain wrong. Maybe a list based on emotions alone he'd belong, but that's about it...
For anoyone that forgets that 96 Met, it was a heck of a race..
