No. You didn't 'actually hear me compare Giant Oak to Formal Gold'. Not the specific career accomplishments of the horses anyway. That's a walkover. What was suggested was that if you were looking to appreciate the elder divisions for what they are in this era, (part of the general context of discussions that day with Steve Crist and Andy), a horse like Giant Oak could perhaps be considered as an equivalent of a Formal Gold... meaning a horse that regularly faces top competition in a variety of settings. That's what was actually being floated conceptually. If naming a specific horse most like Giant Oak from that period would offend you less, how about Puerto Madero or Tejano Run? Thanks for listening to ATR... and the annual visit here to ridicule a segment.
