(compared to history) ok, quality road is better than forego, war admiral and seabiscuit.....there are you happy now?
by the way forego was the champion sprinter the same year he won the jockey gold cup (1974). he ran 12 times(1974)....yeah, they are way faster and fitter today......lol........lol. lets wait and see if this horse makes it through the season before all the "greatest" talk.....PLEASE(by the way the horse of the year can't even make it to the races after 8 weeks of training, these horses are gems of consistancy today..c'mon!)

Are you always this uncomprehending or are you just especially retarded today?

what do you really think these horses are better today. they are bred for speed they lack endurance, stamina and durability. i saw your stupid pitcher comparison. yeah, they pitch less but they don't need to rest for weeks and months before playing. the careers are as long or longer. if i'm retarded you have your head in the sand. these horses are built to last for what, less than 20 races.....maybe?
