I agree. I think he would make the lead pretty easily and I don't think they would ever get past him.
Second place.....could be P. Perfect, Mineshaft, St. Liam, or Invasor. I think I would use those 4 underneath Ghostzapper in exotics, but most of my money would go toward a straight win bet on Ghostzapper.

of course if you set up a mythical series of racing--say 6 races, then it would come down to invasor and mineshaft--the others would miss some of them, so those two would win points-wise!

Not if one of those races was the BCC. Mineshaft wouldn't be able to make it to that one!

You're right he only raced 9 times in 9 months during 2003. 9 times in 9 months....When everyone and their mother avoided him. Then he gets an injury and misses the Classic....But I get it, we should diminish him for that.

LOL. I knew you would like that one randall.
He was an outstanding horse and he would probably be my second choice in this race after Ghostzapper, although I would have trouble separating him from Invasor, St. Liam etc.
As for him missing the BCC, if they say he was injured, I have no reason to doubt them.

Zapper by 2 in sub 1:59 time

Of course I think PP will right be there. I think Zapper would get caught up on the front end with some of these really great horses, and it sets up for PP or maybe Mindshaft to get them at the wire. But then agian I am prejudiced.

I agree. As I said in an earlier post, I would use him in exactas and trifectas under GZ. For a BCC/DWC winner P. Perfect never really seems to get the credit I think he deserves. I think he would be right there with Mineshaft, St. Liam, and Invasor.

im not so sure that ghostzapper would get a easy lead with the likes of, madaglia doro, tiznow, roses in may, and mineshaft there would actually be alot of speed in this race, also saint liam is one who has tactical speed....

There would be speed yes....but not Ghostzapper speed. Certainly a lot of horses in this race could win it, but I think the most likely scenario is GZ wiring the field.
