The "who did he beat?" stuff is my favorite.

Terrain beat Pioneerof The Nile in there two synhtetic track meetings - one at Keeneland in the Futurity and the other in the BC Juvenile.

But Terrain didn't win either of these races so that is not excatly a fair comparison.

It's a fair comparison because he has the same closing style - and if anything Terrain had the tougher trip in both races.

It's the same if two speed horses hooked up - and one beat the other both times.

The difference was Bill Mott trained Pioneerof The Nile as a 2yo - and Mott is a terrible trainer of 2yo's.

POTN was a laughing stock with Mott.
