Who was that horse that ran second to Tiago at Oaklawn? He was a freakshow and it was a tragedy he got hurt.

Heatseeker? Every major stakes he won was on synthetic and he was G1-placed on turf in Ireland.

His Oaklawn race was really good, kinda like Zenyattas... Plus like half the people around here say Tiago would have been a freak on dirt, so losing to him with I think a 107 beyer is not that bad.

So now we're calling Heatseeker a dirt horse because he ran second to a horse that people on DT say would've been a freak on dirt. Got it.

The bottom line is Giant's Causeway has five million-dollar earners, and Swift Temper's the only one who was a bona fide dirt horse. And as much as I like her, she wasn't exactly historically fast.

I never thought I would see the word 'freak' in the same sentence as Tiago.

If by "freak" you mean a bottom of the exotics filler in real races, then yes, count me in the group of "half the people around here."
