P.S. Alex was clearly the best horse in the race
Slews are you looking for a fight here?

To this day, even now that Bellamy has been taken from him, Zito says he is the most talented horse he had to work with and I think Zito has seen his fair share of talent throught his years. (he is the trainer of Sun King after all )

Hey Sightseek! I've heard Zito say that on numerous occassions too, but remember he did say that Sun King was his favorite!

I see that you're not arguing the fact that Alex was clearly the best horse in the Derby though

Alex is more tactical than Bellamy but not as talented.

Feel better now?
