folded, lost...whatever. It was his only test against a real horse and he lost. How about that?

Come on, now, you know that the Jockey Club Gold Cup he won was really an unbelievable group. Wanderin Boy- a one-dimensional Grade II/III type, Andromeda's Hero- argh, and a turf horse in Dylan Thomas.

I completely agree that if you want to talk about a talented horse who we didn't see enough of then Candy Ride absolutely comes to mind.

Did you ever see Lamtarra? Have you ever even heard of Lamtarra?

If you agree with Candy Ride i dont know how you could doubt that one.

PG,
Lammtarra was the Eurohorse of the year in 1995. 1995 happened to be one of the weakest european seasons on record. In fact saying that bernardini couldnt beat lammatarra is like saying the Boston Celtics couldnt beat the Dallas Cowboys.

PG, tell em that Bernardini will be a much better sire than Lammtarra...lets see them poke fun at you for that!

Yeah, that 1995 was really weak. Perhaps you arent remembering. Lamtarra beat Swain on top of freedom Cry and Pentire.

Your analogy is not much better than your memory. These are all racehorses right? Euros come over here and win races on dirt right?

Lamtarra, in four starts, won the epsom, king george and arc. Not too many that can say that.

Mabe your memory is faulty since I dont remember any of those horses winning on the dirt. I do remember swain bearing out in the stretch in the Classic in 1998. He didnt do much until he was 5. Freedom Cry lost to the great Nothern Spur in the BC. Pentire was a pretty good horse, nothing more or less.

Lammtarra was a good horse that happen to show up in a weak year, not his fault, but he is far from an all time great. In fact the comparison to Bernardini is strange considering that one was a dirt horse and one was a turf horse. I am fairly certain that Bernardini would thrash Lammtarra on the dirt and I dont know how anyone would think otherwise.
