You changed your tune now to say that Songbird is just the best 3yo? Not the best horse?

He's not even saying the best 3YO. He's saying the best of "who was supposed to be at the top going into today." Because suggesting that Songbird would've been within a city block of Arrogate is too delusional even for KG.

She would have been nowhere close to him. My question for you would be.......who would have been? Don't limit it to just horses from this year.

No. I still think she is the best horse. But I also conceded that there isn't evidence on my side to support me. This performance by Arrogate was spectacular and it would have taken an even more incredible performance to beat him, the kind that we have rarely seen over the past 30 years. Does that make Arrogate the best 3yo ever? I'm not ready to proclaim that so I'll say that one race doesn't automatically make him the best of this year either. My only point was that minus him, she rates well with everyone else that was in that race yesterday so I don't think it was outlandish to suggest that she could.
