If you lose the race, you lost to a vastly inferior horse. If you win, you beat a vastly inferior horse. Trust me, there is no glory for beating a terribly outclassed opponent.
Unless your name is you know who...then you are called one of the all time greats

yup - should have elaborated... just trying to visualize how quick a middle move this is... Relaunch set the first quarter, SB got the 3/4th's just a head back of 1.08 and change... Just seems an insanely fast middle move (making up 9 lengths) to close into that number with a half still to come ...

Did Spectacular Bid dance in the paddock? If not, I find it hard to really take him seriously, despite his unbelievable career.

Hey I feel like I need to apologize to you on here also. A lot of other people saw what I said and I was wrong. What I said was way out of line. Again I apologize.

Pretty sure he did. I'm thinking it was Guns and Roses "Welcome to the Jungle"

No match for this though..

No one is saying that he's better than Zenyatta because he broke the streak. The only thing that he definitely accomplished tonight is that he'll probably be an answer on Jeopardy somewhere down the road.
This post is the problem with the sport. Nothing else going on? 4 solid stakes at Aqu Saturday including a Grade 1. The Clark on Friday at Churchill and the best card I can remember at Hollywood on Friday. Thats the stuff that needs to be marketed.
