Hell, he lost to Medina’s Spirit twice and we saw how Life is Good toyed with him. Since I’m not in the camp that says the only way a horse can be considered good is if he excels at 10f and faces 20 horse fields and runs 15 times a year, I’m just going to be forced to believe that Life is Good and Flightline are good horses and if they only run 4-5 times this year, I’ll enjoy those 4-5 races much more than watching inferior horses run 10 times.
We’ve been over this before but I’m curious…are your favorite pro sports teams the Yankees, Cowboys, Bull or Lakers and Notre Dame for college football?

Not exactly a list of front runners.

LOL...of course it is. Any list that starts with the Yankees and Cowboys is a frontrunner list.

The only outlier there is the Mavericks. I'm sure when you started liking those teams, they were all the best.

It's not a knock, it just explains a lot when it comes to your racing opinions. You're more a style guy. You prefer a flashy performance over anything.

Well, I grew up in Memphis and we had no pro teams. Started watching sports in 1980 when I was 9. Dallas was the closest thing for us so I became a Cowboys fan. First basketball game and football games I ever went to were in Dallas. Liked the Yankees cause of Reggie Jackson since we share the same first name. Miami, yeah started liking them cause they were good. Started liking Duke in 1984 and they didn’t win a title til 1991.
