32k claimers immediately preceding - R3) 23 / 46.1 / 1.09.3 / 1.15.3 (1.15.79)

The only thing particularly impressive, visually or otherwise, about that performance is where they found the plugs to line up with him.... I don't take anything away from him - a win is a win and he got the job done without urging, in nothing more than a typical workout fashion - that number is generous if anything at all.
Maybe shocking is not the right word. However he seemed to look like he was running better than a 65. Again, that's why I trust the figures much more than my eye. Even after 30 years.

Just when you think this may become an INSTANT CLASSIC, censorship rears it's ugly head

Read the thread. I didn't drop in here simply sporting a picture menu.

The great Homeric tales were passed down orally from generation to generation...

This can be like the DT version and we who witnessed it can recall it for future DT generations.

Why would saying I trust the numbers more after 30 years than my eye prompt you to say "Can't help yourself"?

Wow. I just posted about a horse I called Sunday.

Didn't realize there was such a smoldering caldron.

I think your innocence and naivety are what I admire the most.

Maybe that's because I have neither.

However, you can have respect if you choose to use it.

I expect everyone would admire that.

I don't want to flaunt any admirable traits.
