Yeah. That's not typically what brilliant means though (tremendous).

I know what brilliant means and Pulpit was plenty brilliant. Old Trieste was very fast, but are you basing your evaluation of him based on his work before the Derby? He was a fast horse also in the afternoon, but he was also not the most consistent if I recall.

I'd like to see you two have a debate about who was a better horse....AP Indy or Indian Charlie. Can we set something like that up?

Yeah, I realized the futility of it all and gave up.

But I do like your idea on the debate!

Maybe when that debate is over, we can all get treated to a "Who is better " debate between you and PG1985.

That may have been the fastest 6f debut by a 3yo in Fair Grounds history. Some have run 1:09 and change in their debuts at FG. Muhtafal for Neil Drysdale in 1995 and Tantivy in G for Neil Howard in 1991 come to mind. But I can't think of another who finished under 1:09.

I never got the feeling Stall was ever in love with Apart you could tell he was never remotely comfortable comparing Apart with Blame last year he did everything he could not to laugh at loud when it was suggested Apart could be as good.

A. P. Indy was a better 3yo than Indian Charlie.

In the latters case it was 'what could have been' in the formers case it was 'what was'

I remember a couple of conversations where you said differently, but yeah, Indy was obviously more accomplished.
