I totally agree about Speightstown though, I might have jumped the gun.

ever??? this might come as a surprise but there was horse racing prior to 2003. midnight lute was very good, but best sprinter ever? not even close.

His triple of the Forgo, and 2 Breeders Cup sprint wins are as good as it gets.
On fast, sloppy and synthetics...
If I am wrong, its not by much... and I said "might be the best ever" not that he is

hes not even close to being the best sprinter ever. where would a horse like artax rank on your all time best sprinters list?

yep. i was using him as an example because he was another horse who had a few monster races. no one is going to call him maybe the best sprinter ever.

Any race ML would be in vs a group of "the best ever" would set up for his style, I have no doubt in my mind he would be competitive with all of these.

he probably would be competitive vs the horses listed. still doesn't make him maybe the best sprinter ever, or even close. he ran one huge race in the forego. his breeders cup wins were okay, but nothing great and its not like he beat any great horses. take a look at the horses cannon shell mentioned and what they accomplished. look at a horse like housebuster. i could name a dozen more.

he was a nice horse who was compromised because he was so big. he had gate issues due to his size. but lets be a little realistic about him.

That is a huge backpedal from "may be the best ever". Now he's "competitive".
