Greinton versus Precisionist was sort of a David versus Goliath thing. Whittingham had Greinton, and Fenstermaker had Precisionist. Not only that, but Precisionist didn't really want to even go 9f. He had to have a top day to beat Greinton.

I actually saw that rivalry completely 180 degrees opposite of you.

Besides the trainer that is.

Precisionist was the top horse with Greinton being a relatively no namer coming over from Europe.

I always believed Precisionist to be one of those horses that had to be given a loose reign. If allowed to go out and wing it, he was one super tough horse to beat, no matter how far he went. That idiot Mccarron cost him many races trying to rate him on the lead.

Do you not remember the Strub, where he and Halo Folks set that insane pace? Precisionist put him away and then had to run for about the last 1/2 a mile with Greinton at his throat.

I wish someone would come up with that video.

Didn't Greinton beat him more? Obviously, they were pretty close. I was probably playing a price horse. I doubt I ever bet Greinton. May have bet Precisionist a couple times. I just remember Greinton owning me (always at bad odds.)
