And although it was beyond his best distance, Jack Christopher ran a respectable race in the Haskell and he was also beaten by Taiba and I think he's the best horse that either of them beat outside of (and maybe including) Cyberknife.

I’m perfectly fine opening up that discussion. I’d much rather talk about who a horse beat than what grade he ran in. I think Rollo covers why Epicenter had a better year than Taiba.
