winning a race doesn't necessarily make a horse fast. just faster than the others in the race.

I am not saying he is a world beater or one of the the best turf horses there was but he does not deserve to be called shitty or slow. He is fast, slow? you can argue back and forth. Everyone has a horse they want to pull for and this ones mine (win or lose).
