I think 10 furlongs wasn't what he wanted to do, which is scary. A flat mile on dirt in the Breeders Cup would've been wild to see just how fast he could run it in. To me that was his best distance.

Mineshaft was next on my list. To me, his great year was just that, great. That burst of speed he had was crazy. And the only race he lost was ironically his highets fig ever due to Albarado deciding he needed to be 7 wide, idiot.
