Why do you insist on utilizing catch phrases to categorize race horses? Especially on turf, where it's all about trips.

Gio is the best turf horse in the country. PERIOD. He's proven this by winning under a number of different setups, something 99.99% of all horses are unable to do. Nonetheless, GP is not better than Ventura going 8F. (Unless Gomez is up and blows the ride again.) As for Goldikova, you really need to watch the replay of her BC win again and try, AT LEAST, to understand why she got the ABSOLUTELY BEST POSSIBLE TRIP a horse can get.
