Also, I believe Ghostzapper had yet to even attempt a route race at the time of that quote. Ghostzapper had all very impressive and super fast races from the Vosburgh of his 3yo season on - but even comparing him and SB as just older males - he didn't travel as much and campaign as hard.

I forgot that GZ had not yet completed his 4yo season at that time.
