I don't know about that, the horse wasn't exactly sound, I am sure it took all of Frankel's training know-how to keep him together and ready to run...

Yeah, i was just kidding, and despite the naysayers i thought he did a good job managing this horse, especially considering his fragility. But Ghostzapper really was 5 lengths better than anyone that year, and that was an excellent field.

If BOS goes, I hope they don't end up breaking him down. The last thing we need is ANOTHER horse to read about.

But wouldn't it put us in our places if he wins? Wouldn't that be a story!

If he were mine, I wouldn't be willing to take the risk. If he was sound, yes... but not 100%... no way Jose.

I'll give you Zapper, but what is Frankel now?? Something like 3 for 50 in Breeders Cup races. Zapper and Squirtle Squirt are the only two that come to mind.

Not Lukas or Shug level, but very good consdiering its almost impossible to win any BC race.
