Hes 200 years old.

If that horse would have been in a different barn there is no telling how much money he could have knocked down

I have to agree with you on this one. Hard to complain when he has won so much $$$ but I think the number could be much higher with a different trainer.jmo

This is one of the best managed horses in modern history. I have not seen hardly any mistakes. Care to expound on that?? My favorite part is that he was one of the only if not only eastern based hdcp horse to travel west regularly.

He should have won twice as much money. That horse was a much better horse than his earnings or record would indicate. It indicates he was a nice horse, he did it himself, he could have been any kind.
