The answer is because they weren't significantly better than him, if at all. He was at the very least right there with them. And if these horses now are right with him, doesn't that put them right with the group from last year?

Maybe I'm getting old but I'm having a hard time remember what where Lookin at Lucky's fast races that make him such a world beater? The point I was making wasn't that Fly Down wasn't better than Equestrio but that he wasn't really much better than First Dude. At least I never thought he was.

What are you talking about? Do you even know?

Who called Lookin at Lucky a world beater? He wasn't, but he certainly proved he was better than First Dude on the track (he beat him by 4 at Monmouth as well as the Preakness) and he was a lot better than anything First Dude has beaten (by a nose) this year.

You said the horses he's beating this year aren't any worse than what he faced last year. Those are your words, not mine.
