I believe it. Not only is the situation figuratively similar to flies on dogsh!t, but there might actually be a literal connection there, too.

It doesn't hold a candle to The Boatmen's Call by Nick Cave...

At this stage of the Triple Crown, Big Brown has won twice in very impressive fashion. At this stage of the Triple Crown in 1973, Secretariat had set two stakes records (Pimlico disputed), and he was about to run the race by which all others are measured.

OK I give in I have to make a comment...to be fair to Big Brown also. At the same point of Seattle Slew's career couldn't you substitute his name for Big Brown's in the title of his column.

Not many compare to Big Red. Oh well why not report the grass is green and the sky is blue.
