Or she's had a better one than Proud Spell and her two grade ones? Or Indian Blessing and her two grade ones? Hell, let's take it further. If Stardom Bound wins her third grade one in the BC, she will have had a better single season than Commentator has had a CAREER cause he's only won two grade ones in his career. She would be the equal of Medaglia d' Oro and his three grade one wins in his career. She'd pass Smarty Jones and his two. She'd equal Afleet Alex and his three. One more and she's had as good a career as Ghostzapper.

I will humbly bow out of this argument since it will only go back and forth. You make excellent points. For my money, Big Brown did have the best year in horse racing in 2008 as detailed earlier. I stand by it.

And that's perfectly fine. I won't argue that opinion even if I disagree with it. My problem came with you stating it as fact and using number of grade ones as a way of backing that fact up.

For me, 90% of the time, I'll go with a horse that distinguishes him or herself in races open to all competition over one that does so in races that are closed off to most of the competition.

You are right to dispute me saying "fact." That was kind of reckless on my part. I meant it more as an exclamtion point, but agree I shouldn't have misused the word as it is only my fact and not the view of everyone else.

I hear Curlin and Big Brown will have a filly screwing contest next year. First one to get 10 laid wins
