The true greats know what it is that they are doing out there, they know what their purpose is, and they love to win. These horses are few an far between, and many of them arent blessed with the natural talent needed to compete at the highest level. It is the Smarty Jones' and LITF's of the world that are rare.
One fighter I will always remember is Tiznow. His 2nd Breeders Cup win was a thing of beauty.
