That horse loved to run and wish we could have seen him at 4. Arrogate may come back in next race but its hard to love a horse that only ran 5 races in the last 12 months and the last one terrible.

(emphasis added)

It's harder for me to love a horse that only ran 11 times in its career, and not much of it against formidable competition.

I wouldn't call ether horse "great". Yet.
