Have seen so many like that, and so many more who are simply what the old timers called "common". By common I mean that they will win at times, but that the horse doesnt really care whether or not he or she does win and will just as easily run 2nd. They aren't fighters, they just do what they do.
The true greats know what it is that they are doing out there, they know what their purpose is, and they love to win. These horses are few an far between, and many of them arent blessed with the natural talent needed to compete at the highest level. It is the Smarty Jones' and LITF's of the world that are rare.
