If he is such a mediocre horse, I'm sorry he wouldn't have gotten up for 3rd in last years Classic at 6. I'm sick of hearing words like "cheater" and "hanger" when that is not the case, but just as we won't back down that he is a nice horse and deserves what he earns, they will never admit the same. All they want is a Ghostzapper who runs 6 times in his life to cheer over for some odd reason. You and I, we like the campaigner who *always shows up*. If he doesn't win, so be it, but I see folks leaving him out of their tri's all the time, and if that isn't the *dumbest* handicapping move you can make, I don't know what is. It is awful fun, I guess, to come beat the crap out of him on boards. I wouldn't know. I love this horse, and always will.

Chup anyone who hasn't been keying this horse 2nd and 3rd in tris is an imbecile, first class. Its just so unusual to see a horse who loves to compete like he does constantly losing the close ones.
