Sorry man, but that horse doesn't "get going" at all. He only won the Belmont because he plodded along in last pace behind a supersonic pace (when you factor in the distance and kind of horses running that distance) High Finance was outsprinted for the lead in that race!

He is mistaken for a marathoner. Getting enough pace was far more important than having enough distance with him.

He made Giacomo look like Spectacular Bid.
