Lots of Kool Aid being drank this year in regards to a few "superhorses".
I think we've talked about some REAL superhorses on this thread, and I hope I get to see some more.
I was younger when these horses ran, and I guess I took for granted that what i was witnessing was always gonna be there in some form.
I wonder how many folks who have read this thread and thought about Formal Gold, Skip Away, Holy Bull, Cigar, Alysheba, Sunday Silence, Easy Goer,etc and saw their figs and got red faced about buying the hype on a few horses lately.
Lets just hope we get to see some horses like that again, and more importantly, lets see some rivalries like these horses had.
They produced exciting races and thrills and chills up the spine. Not getting a whole lot of that lately.

mike,
I was going to start a thread titled "Best Rivalries". Thought about it.
My vote would go to Affirmed and Alydar...
Dems da ones that got me hooked.
