I was wrong in thinking that he could win the BCC off of his B game. He was almost good enough to do it, but almost good enough doesn't count.

In my mind, he was talented enough to be a great horse if he would have kept racing. Everyone's definitions of greatness are different. He was on the verge of it.
How can you say it was not his A game? He had never faced horses like that before. That was his first big test. There was nothing in his history that indicated that he should have blown away the field on BC day.

I don't know how much talent he may have had in your mind, but I do know he cannot and will not be considered a great horse because it never happened and that is a fact.
