No horse that I have ever seen live had GZ's talent, with maybe the exception of a few who are currently running. We'll find out about them when their careers are over.

Afleet Alex also had a lot more talent than some of you realize. He was a darn good horse that had the best kick I have ever seen. He looked like he had been shot out of a cannon when he turned it on. The horse was really as good as his times showed in the Arkansas Derby and the Mountain Valley Stakes. They were for real, and the horse was fast. He proved it in the last quarter of the Belmont Stakes after a grueling TC campaign, and after almost being knocked off his feet in the Preakness three weeks before. Not many horses could have won the Belmont under those circumstances.

Sarcasm, my friend, sarcasm.
