Why do I post my thoughts you ask. Well, because I think there is way too much misinformation wirtten about horses in this game these days. I think people are led astray by overzealousness. Personally, I prefer to see something special before getting excited about a horse. Plus, considering the veritable plethora of " awesome " one time performances eminating from the Pletcher barn ( especially with 2YOs ) I think it is wise to withhold judgement before declaring every next best thing that appears a superstar.

Let's hold the accolades for those that have actually earned them.

I guess I understand Oracles distinction, now great vs. future great. People are excited because of his race today, not because he is considered one of the all-time greats.

Again, he was an impressive winner of the Bashford Manor. No one said superstar. So you were just ho hum about the way he dove to the rail and passed 5 horses in the last furlong like they were standing still?
