Horses like Skip Away, Holy Bull, Cigar, etc. would have lapped these horses.

I get being dramatic is an effective way to present your argument, but lets at least be realistic about these horses.

Didn't he win $10 million in a year? Sounds serious to me. You're right SKIP AWAY, HOLY BULL and CIGAR would have lapped those horses. They wouldn't have beaten FLIGHTLINE in the Pacific Classic.

He won 10 million in a year because he ran in a 12 million dollar race and a 20 million dollar race.

Then he got beat on the square by Royal Ship and Defunded.

Serious stuff.
