Well, he didn't beat Harlan's Holiday and MDO because their trainers were too scared to run against him!

Mineshaft was better than harlans holiday. At 9 furlongs, MDO vs. mineshaft would have been a great match.

Candy Ride would have had people questioning whether Mineshaft was even Equine.

Dalak, I'm beginning to believe you simply want to be the board trouble maker. But since you asked.

Everyone of the horses that year avoided him like the plague. He and Ghostzapper ran consistently the fastest numbers ever given out by Thorograph in the last 25 years.(the fastest number ever given to a losing horse was his race to Perfect Drift. A negative 5---you can thank Robby "6 wide" Albarado.) The great Bernardini hasn't run as fast nor has any older horse since those two were retired. None. Zero.

Board trouble maker? Why? Because i asked a simple question as to who mineshaft beat? Do you want to discuss or would you prefer i just shut up?

It just seems like every thread you are in, you simply want to stir **** up. Trashing horses or people or anything you can....But maybe I'm misunderstanding you. Obviously when people diss Mineshaft, its the only horse I take it personally about. The one and only one.

And where did i trash mineshaft in this thread? Ive made two statements. One...i asked what he beat. In the other i said that he was better than Harlans holiday (who i think was a pretty darn good horse) and said it would be a great race against MDO at 9 furlongs (and i think mdo was incredible at that distance). I just think candy ride was better.

So, would you like to discuss mineshaft?

Enough already its pretty obvious with a statement like "Who did he beat?" you were being dismissive. Candy Ride, lol, maybe if he raced more than a few times in his life in the US. And who did Candy Ride beat, Medags who once, who liked to finish 2nd in big races?...And no, I don't want to discuss Mineshaft with you....Just waiting for the next boring ass thread about your hard on for Garret Gomez.

I'm not sure it's fair to expect a 3 year year old, even of Bernardini's quality, to run as fast as a Mineshaft did at age 4........Nonetheless, thanks for taking up Mineshaft's cause for me. I can't believe how many doubters he has..........

Completely agree, just pointing it out, but Bernard if he runs at 4 very well might run comparable numbers.
