How can anyone knock LITF campaign. He raced at 7 different tracks, took on all comers, and never ran a sub 105 figure, less his Sunshine Million when he won by 5 while never being asked to run (102). Its just hard to imagine this horse isnt one of the best of his generation, if not all time. To not have him on a list as a 3yo when he dominated the division, and won 8 of 9, only losing after a tumor crippled him is criminal. His best was never realized, his good days were better than some of the best horses BEST days.
Its speculation but I would imagine his 2yo campaign was the only year he raced with no cancer. As a 2yo he ran a 103, 109, 102, thats significant.
