Not at 7fs.

Bid won a Graded Stakes race by 15 lengths in 1:20 and change as a 2yo at 7fs.

He won the Hutchenson in his 3yo debut in super fashion. He also won the Malibu in 1:20 and change off the layoff for his 4yo debut .. Aaron Hesz talks about that as one of the most impressive races he's ever seen. To that point - I guess a lot of big Eastern horses struggled when they shipped out there - especially in sprints.

My bathroom currently has two pictures in it, framed. Bid walkover and the 1980 Tremont savage pic.

is this not an "Montana v. Marino" or "Rice v. Moss" argument... in my mind, no doubt that Moss and Marino were better talents, but Montana and Rice have the rings. Regardless of what the Bid did, he didn't win the Triple Crown, and he'll always have that held against him...

If Alydar was born in Seattle Slew's crop - Seattle Slew wouldn't have won a single race in the triple crown series.

I assume Sir Barton is better than Kelso and Dr. Fager.

Yeah, but, Slew beat Affirmed and Affirmed beat the Bid, so Slew must be better than the Bid!
