You all can bash this horse all ya want. He was and is good for racing. He has a big following and brought many to racing. So whether he is the best sprinter ever or not, does not matter to me in the least. He was good for racing!

It's more like monthly handle. The first horse she ever bet on was LITF last year. She gave me the money and I took it to the OTB for her. Since then, she now goes with me to the OTB about once a month...(I go about every weekend).

I think even the people like myself who are claming that LITF is not a real solid G1 sprinter, would still rank him as a solid G2 or G3 horse. In my opinion he is better than 99.999% of all sprinters running. Why you would characterize that as bashing is beyond my comprehension. These are suttle distinctions being discussed, nothing extreme like is he great or garbage.
Is he good for racing? Yes, but so is Nightmare Affair the solid sprinter that beat him on Saturday.
