Meanwhile, he got beat a head in the Belmont Stakes. But he couldn't go 10F. LOL

Well, yeah!

What makes you think that if he can't get 10, he'd get 12?

He got beat by Sarava .. which might only further undermine things.

I think he was marginally a little better horse at 9fs .. the actual record is misleading though.

Here's who ran 2nd to him in his 7 wins short of 10fs...

* Tallest Timber

* U S S Tinosa

* Quest

* Olmodavor

* Slider

* Volponi (that was the year he went 0-for-8)

* Seattle Fitz


In his final 3 tries at 10fs ... he ran 2nd's with Beyers of 117 and 118 against outstanding horses in Candy Ride and Pleasantly Perfect ... than he missed by less than a length when 2nd in the Dubai World Cup to PP.

In his 9f races - he dined on cupcakes.

If Medaglia D' Oro was around right now ... the current handicap division would be in a world of trouble at any distance.

Uncle Rico's time machine.

They could race each other.

Let me dam this up before someone else draws a parallel to the McKenzie Phillips story.

Since we all know horses just can't run as much as they used to, he'd only manage a start every 4-6 weeks...there are still plently of Grade 1s left for the other horseys!
