We shall see. If the odds are good enough, I won't hesitate to bet on SH.

No, it wasn't a particularly " fast " race. The only race he ran in, that he finished, where he may have run worse was the Holy Bull, which was in the mud.
I'm sorry, which race do you think he ran that was so much worse? To me he was a better turf horse than dirt horse, and relatively speaking his 2YO turf races were more impressive than his Florida Derby win and, and feel free to disagree with this, I thought his Kentucky Derby was better than his Florida Derby. You know, he only ran a total of seven races.
