Perhaps it wasn't the track that had him second in 2004 and instead it was talent? It doesn't seem to be implausible considering the horse won the freaking Haskell.
The funniest part about the whole thing is Lion Heart got hurt in the Travers and was retired the day after the race.

I was just going to mention that something that probably affected Lion Heart in the race was, oh I don't know, but maybe he didn't run so well because he broke his *&#^@&! leg in the running of the race. I don't know about you Hoss, but breaking a leg in a race doesn't exactly seem conducive to winning a race...

Oh wow.

I have a habit of lapsing into a temporary coma any time I see the name Giacomo so that's my excuse for missing it.
