yeah, turcotte was suspended i believe.

As for Sec, it's a tired discussion on here and is in the reading room. Yes I think he is overrated

how absurd.
you think a long campaign makes a horse better? affirmed success was a hard knocker who was able to run for several years, doesn't make him a top horse. for him to be included in a thread about the best turf/dirt horse in the last 50 years is laughable at best.

if you're going to be a polemicist, at least make an honest effort.
