Playa.
Mineshaft ran against 5 horse fields because everyone was scared to death to get on the track with him. Those other horses were expecting a share of the purse money. Good God. Think back on how many times Frankel ran away with Megs... It was ridiculous. Everyone knew they would not beat this guy so they ran AWAY. The only way you beat this guy was to completely weigh him down. And thats when you get the really good races, like with PD. This was a tremendous animal. I loved his running style. One of the most efficient horses I have ever watched.
