Many times we make excuses for horses because they have bad trips. AP's talent is what drives all his great trips, not racing luck. I will not argue his place in history, just like I would not argue any other sporting great from different era's. Instead I am enjoying watching this special animal. I hope he stays healthy and can continue his three year old compaign.
When has AP had to work hard early to establish a great trip?
