Well, he's a 4 year old Graded Stakes winner of over $500,000. Most "analysts" would call him a "nice" horse.

Like I said, the biggest factor, aside from the super-fast condition of the track, was that races are not often run at the distance. You're certainly entitled to your opinion as is everyone.

Don't Get Mad and Buddy Gil needed a telescope to see him at the finish.

I thought the most surprising thing about Greater Good was the amount of early speed he showed. This is a deep closing router, and now he was on even terms with Exciting Metro, a very quick sprinter, after 4 furlongs. It does arouse some suspicions. Maybe he just "got good"
