"Great"? He lost! He is not great.

The list of horses who were great is very, very small in that case. Kincsem, Personal Ensign, Colin, and Zenyatta. Oh, and Peppers Pride. The end.

He's from a time when connections weren't totally lame and it was an acceptable risk, losing.

Different times, different standards.

Now, only Peppers Pride, Zenyatta, that recently retired Lion Heart 2yo and Uncle Mo can be considered truly great.

As am I. Risk it a little too often. Ah the great Peppers Pride.

Alysheba shipped around a lot, but we should keep in mind that the Rockies weren't as high back then.
