This is precisely the kind of criticism I have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM with.

You're completely right. He never proved on the track that he was great. Those who feel that he was immensely talented and wasn't on his A game in the BCC will continue to think he's great. Those who think that was his best effort will continue to think what they think.

What bothers me is the guys who come on here proclaiming his BCC SECOND-PLACE FINISH (Not up the track like their hero Lava Man) is indisputable evidence that he's a fraud. Listen, none of us KNOW ****.

People like me and KY Roses will continue to think he was one of the best horses we've ever seen. People like Sniper and Windu and ArlJim will continue to think he was an okay 3-year-old. There's no proving either opinion wrong, and they should be stated as that, opinions.

I don't think he's an okay 3yo, I think he's a very good with a possibility of being a great 3yo, unfortunately we'll never know...I always thought he was talented, but I did not think he was a great horse at least not until he would have had a chance to prove it...I thought he was going to win, he didn't, maybe I undervalued Invasior, he gets another prep and he might have won by more...He's going to be 3yo of the year, how many 3yo's race a year, that's pretty good to be the best of your generation...

That I'm fine with. Just sick of hearing that people know he didn't run his race when really it is just their opinion that he was a lot better than he showed in the BC Classic. He's certainly a lot more than an ok 3yo. I think he's a very good horse that could have been a great one if he improved next year. Unfortunately we'll never know, and that pisses me off more than anything.
