He probably was the better horse but why in the hell should he have won the eclipse? Because he lost the Jim Dandy to Strong Hope?
Sorry dude, but the TC races are what really count, and unless a horse excels in the important later races during the year it is those races that matter. Winning the Sham carries very little weight. Without looking it up, how many can name who was second in the Florida Derby ( a strong group of six no doubt ).
