Arrogate is so much better than everyone else it's not even funny.

Gun Runner could easily be the second best older horse in training, after Chrome retires later this month.

I agree with the first part completely. But I also think Connect > Gun Runner.

On this topic as related to Eclipse voting.. Maybe I overemphasized the late season v. older accomplishments, but I put Gun Runner and Connect behind Arrogate for the 3yo's. Was disappointed that both Nyquist and Exaggerator were finalists ahead of them. Thought at least Gun Runner would have gotten by one of them.

Earlier last year I thought Gun Runner would surpass both Exaggerator and Nyquist. I'm not as high as I was on him now.
