how is this germane to anything important? here i've got some more for you to answer:
who would have won if they had been forced to run backwards?
what about blindfolded?
what about with a 400 lb jockey?

I think calling Ghostzapper great in the same breath with calling Slew great is a mindblower. To me they are residents of different planets.

I'm going to ask a question that everyone usually hates. Why?

Ghostzapper will not even make the Hall of Fame. He was too lightly raced.

You're right. He may not, but that horse was brillant. He is one of the fastest horses to have ever lived.

It would be a shame though if a horse like Barbaro made the Hall of Fame and Ghostzapper did not.

I can't really argue with that Pillow Pants. We were blessed with some incredible talent this year in Barbaro, Bernardini, and Invasor.

If Ghostzapper had raced more, we would have called him Dr. Fager II. He is one helluva horse.

Ghostzapper would have blown Slew off the map. Pure and simple. Slew was never very fast.

listen buddy, i agree with some of the stuff you said about bernardini but this nonsense needs to stop.
what would happen if ghostzapper met slew? both of those horses were so great that it is difficult to know what would happen, but i find it hard to believe that slew would be "blown off the map." ghostzapper didn't blow saint liam off the map. do you really think saint liam is that much better than slew? that seems a bit odd to me.

You are from the same planet as Ghostzapper.

Show me where and when Slew was actually faster than Ghostzapper. Show me. At the same age and at the same distance. Or any age and any distance.

Show me.
