How do you figure? I said that Artax' win may have been the single best performance and that when he was on his game, he may have been the best sprinter of them all but that when it came to evaluating his overall record, having so many losses is hard for me to overlook. Evaluating his overall record has nothing to do with evaluating his BC race which was brilliant. Same with Gulch.

My mistake. I coulda sworn you said that Cherokee Run's BC Sprint was the best performance and were overlooking all of his losses.

No. I said that I thought his was the best performance in a Sprint win but never said he was the best sprinter overall. And I did return to admit that because of my bias towards Soviet Problem, I probably am overrating CR's win. I think that being as objective as I can, I'd probably say either Artax or Very Subtle had the single most impressive performance in the Sprint with Kona Gold right behind them.
