This is precisely the kind of criticism I have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM with.

You're completely right. He never proved on the track that he was great. Those who feel that he was immensely talented and wasn't on his A game in the BCC will continue to think he's great. Those who think that was his best effort will continue to think what they think.

What bothers me is the guys who come on here proclaiming his BCC SECOND-PLACE FINISH (Not up the track like their hero Lava Man) is indisputable evidence that he's a fraud. Listen, none of us KNOW ****.

People like me and KY Roses will continue to think he was one of the best horses we've ever seen. People like Sniper and Windu and ArlJim will continue to think he was an okay 3-year-old. There's no proving either opinion wrong, and they should be stated as that, opinions.
