That's the ideal horse. But in this context, I'm speaking relatively..

When I say versatile, I don't mean the horse can either go wire-to-wire or close from the clouds, a la Ghostzapper. I just mean the horse doesn't have to have everything his/her own way to run his/her race.

Except Ghostzapper earned his numbers against the best dirt horses in the world, as does Curlin. Commentator gets his numbers mostly against mediocre allowance horses.

Hell, Lawyer Ron earned a few huge figures, and he faced better horses than Commentator did when he did it.

commentator would have cooked ghostzapper... they would have compromised each other.... if ghostzapper tried to rate, he never would catch commentator, unless there was a rabbit involved

You really are out of your mind. Ghostzapper would have ripped Commentator's heart out of his chest. I'm done with this.

Trying to have a serious horse racing discussion with you is like a blind man in a dark room trying to find a black cat that isn't there.

This would make perfect sense if the BC Classic Ghostzapper won was the only race you had ever seen of his and had no clue as to his versatile style and the fact that he won and looked flashy from several different spots in a race setup.

Then again, that probably is the only race you've ever seen of his, because you don't strike me as the type to really dig into anything before spouting off and playing expert.

Let's not stop there.....Commentator would SMOKE Secretariat, especially if they raced at Belmont.
