To not have him on a list as a 3yo when he dominated the division, and won 8 of 9, only losing after a tumor crippled him is criminal. His best was never realized, his good days were better than some of the best horses BEST days.

Its speculation but I would imagine his 2yo campaign was the only year he raced with no cancer. As a 2yo he ran a 103, 109, 102, thats significant.
It's unfortunate he won the majority of his races on the NoCal circuit. He'll always be knocked for that.
