Grasshopper ? ? ?

why do people here keep saying he has only won a maiden and an allowance? Since when is a grade 3 win considered an allowance?? Maybe I'm crazy but I could have sworn he easily won a stakes at Fair Grounds this year or am I really crazy??
(yeah, it was the Mineshaft Handicap...a grade 3...he won that. He is in fact a stakes winner.)

No this makes your point even more off. Your original "point" was that maybe Grasshopper had soured between three and four and that he was in better form last year. well, if he did win a "stake" it was this year.

So what is your point?

I never claimed anything about Grasshopper...you said he never won anything but a maiden and allowance and that was clearly an incorrect assertion. He could have beaten 3 cows, 2 goats, and 5 members of this board running in the Mineshaft but he still won a stakes.
