Undefeated horses have a mystique about them.

And when one of them wins a race with a genuinely great performance - it's very easy to get swept up in the excitement of it and the praise can get out of control.

A lot of flowery stuff was certainly also said about a horse like Candy Ride after his Pacific Classic win - or Discreet Cat after his Cigar Mile.

Ghostzapper was certainly the best older horse of the last 10 years. Smarty Jones is in the discussion (with horses like Tiznow, Point Given, Bernardini, and maybe Curlin) as best 3yo over that time frame.

SJ VS GZ is a classic 3yo vs older comparison - and if they met on the track - the older Ghostzapper would almost certainly win that match-up no matter how it plays out from a scenerio standpoint.
