I don't think we've seen his best race yet. He's run and won on 6 different tracks across the country against the best 3YO's they could throw at him and except for the Derby, where he did have to dig in to win in style and save his first start, he has handled the rest with ease.
I'm looking at a picture of him in SI getting a bath before the Belmont and his muscles ripple from his neck & withers to his hip and thigh. He even has a equine 6 or 8 pack on the side of his stomach. Can't see the underside. We know his stride is longer than Secretariat's was and he stays in the air like freaking Pegasus. The Michael Jordan of horse racing.
He is a thoroughbred treasure for us all to enjoy and behold and I have to believe he'll impress us even more down the road.
