He isn't a 3yr old anymore. There are no fluky races where a mediocre horse can win a grade 1. He is now just a grade 2 horse at best. By your reasoning then Funny Cide is still a grade 1 horse, which he is not.

No you can't. Funny Cide is occasionly a fast horse who right now could probably still beat Giacomo. Giacomo never has been and never will be a fast horse. Beating preachinatthebar isn't exactly something to write home about.

that is factually inaccurate also, he is and has alwyas been one of the fastest in his class. even his time yesterday was 12 seconds a furlong till the end of the race.

He has never once ran a fast race. He is a mediocre 95-100 beyer type horse. The top guys are all in the 105-115+ range.

Funny Cide is 6 and you have to compare the two. Thye don't write many races for four year olds only..
