She ran one big race setting a moderate pace while loose on the lead.....and more than a few poor races. Let's not get carried away because she died an unfortunate death.

I'm not.

... and I'm not saying she was the greatest filly ever, but she was very good.

As an aside, please refer to Dynever as Ittsak.

There's absolutely nothing even close to proof that she was " very good. "

Horse Racing may be the only sport in the world where slight variations in wording can create such a argument. It seems to call a horse "great" in this sport, he/she must be an all-time superstar.

Compared to the average filly, she was more than very good. Compared to all time greats, she was well below average. Its just a matter of perspective.

Isnt that the meaning of the word?

So now we compare good horses to average horses to establish their quality?

Okay.

I liked her in the Ontario Debutante and in the Mazarine BC.

I'll leave it at that.

Maybe you need to check out KRIM's "beautiful relaxing video" or something.

You're forgetting how truly awful that field was. That phony Adieu was 2nd choice at 4-1 or something... I thought Folklore was a layup (and yes... that was my only winner that day)

Along the Sea?

Does the thought that some of the greatest horses on this list may have raced on performance enhancing drugs tarish their reputations? We've seen it in baseball, how does one compare Roger Clemons to Bob Gibson, or for that matter Ghostzapper to Secretariat?

[blackthroatedwind]

Well, that puts this argument to rest.

The scary thing is for once she's making sense. I'd better stop drinking.
